Fabulous
Pros:

We went for my Husband 60th, just for three nights, and what an amazing hotel with fabulous service, the place is immaculate, the rooms beautiful, and we received a bottle of bubbly and some chocolate strawberries on our arrival as I had informed them of my Husband‘s birthday, then yesterday on the day of his birthday when I had put his birthday cards up, they again provided another bottle of bubbly and his own little cake with a candle, and a lovely message, lovely little touches like this is what makes this place amazing, breakfast lovely, and location really good, would recommend to everybody!

Classy hotel in central location
Pros:

Staff at this hotel were all so friendly and welcoming and efficient. Parking on site was fantastic and at €22 cheaper than other cities. A very straightforward flat 18minute walk into the old town where we can highly recommend a visit to the Central Market what an incredible place fantastic experience. The hotel has a giant slide from the first floor which was great fun.

Very good hotel
Pros:

Have used this hotel before due to its close proximity to the train/bus stations.

A jewel of a hotel in Malaga
Pros:

The Barcelo Málaga is a great place to stay when spending time in Málaga city. It has amazing staff who are always willing to help you whether that be by providing hotel services or providing information about the location. It is in a great location with easy access to transport links for the metro, buses, local trains or intercity trains. The services provided by the hotel met all our expectations and more. Excellent value for money. The nicest thing is that many of the staff have been there a number of years and they make us feel like family when we arrive. It is our Málaga home.

Great location for solo trip
Pros:

I really enjoyed my long weekend stay, I had the room for 4 nights. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Made an early check in available without fuss. I enjoyed the location as I did lots of walking trips to the pier and the city centre. Enjoyed the local shops. Room was spacious and bed so comfortable! Loved the mechanic blackout blinds! I can’t fault my stay.

Nice hotel! I would stay at it again
Pros:

Thank you for the accommodation, Barcelo Malaga Hotel! It was a nice stay for me. I enjoyed my stay, ate good in breakfast, and the location was really good. Justo outside the Renfe (metro-station) called Estación de Málaga María Zambrano. Super nice location.

Ideal Short Break
Pros:

We stayed here for a weekend break in January. The hotel is clean and conveniently located with a direct link to the station. The station has lots of shops and eateries including a supermarket. The location is approx 20 mins walk away from the old town but there are numerous buses going to the centre from directly outside the hotel and the fare is very cheap so ideal if walking is difficult. Everything iin our room was modern with a large shower, coffee machine and fabric steamer. The staff are polite and the breakfast is plentiful with lots of options. We would stay again.

We came for a family weekend to Malaga and stayed in Barcelo for my wife’s birthday. Everything was perfect. There was a bottle of Cava and some chocolates waiting for us in the room.

Great Hotel!
Pros:

We stayed at Barceló Malaga, over the marathon weekend. We enjoyed the hotel interior design and their service. The staff is really good and helpful. The location is really good, as just next to the main train station and easy to get everywhere in city. A walkeable distance (30mins) from the historical centre, but not if walking it with kids. Despite all, our little one enjoyed the big slide in the entrance hall. Highly recommended
