Nice hotel. Very clean and friendly staff. Pool area is nice and modern with big day beds. Only thing I didn’t like is the rooms are on the smaller side and was bit of struggle for two adults to get ready at once.

Room was excellent and the hotel accommodated our requests for a higher floor overlooking the pool. Amenities are excellent - pool, hot tubs, beds are all clean and well maintained. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Location in walking distance to beach, city centre, and local bars, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

The outdoor pool is heated and we were allowed to use it at night and very early morning which was brilliant. Staff were very helpful and friendly and go out of their way to resolve any issues. Breakfast was very fulfilling and the fruit so fresh and sweet. Hot options and bakery food were substantial. Rooms are spacious and everything is thought of; from extra toothbrushes and paste, vanity kits and chocs by the bedside. So many restaurants within a stone throwaway and just off the Promenade and beach. Perfect location. We went to another city and came back just to spend some time at this hotel. The train station is 15 minutes walk away and from there 20 minutes into Malaga itself.

Not quite the quality I would expect for this price point. 50€ deposit actually charged to credit card on registration. Twice housekeeping came in in the early morning. Breakfast was actually quite good except they had 3 types of margarine and no butter.
