Don Paco is centrally located to the bus and train stations, shopping malls, the paseo and a wide variety of restaurant choices.
The rooms are small, but comfortable, clean with crisp towels and linens. And a surprisingly comfortable pillow (which I NEVER find, even in high-end in hotels). The rain shower head was lovely! Though basic, the hotel is well cared for and very tidy -- lobby, elevator, stairway and the rooms all clean, no garbage laying about, no scuffs on the walls. The check in was easy and front desk staff very friendly.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Don Paco if you're looking for a basic place to stay when visiting Malaga, without having to spend a lot of money. My room (#103) had a window that faced the interior 'garden' and was fairly close to the elevator, but I didn't hear a lot of noise except a little from the room next door when that person showered, not unlike what I hear in any other hotels. I will stay here again when I come back to Malaga.
