The hotel to stay in Malaga
Pros:

The hotel accommodation - food, atmosphere, location ( views, proximity to places of interest and public transport - very cheap, clean and reliable) was excellent. The reception staff were very patient and very helpful.

Hotel addressed advance requests and helped/ supported us with all our none routine effectively.

The swimming pool was peaceful and relaxing.

The kungsizd bed was comfortable and the bedroom large with comfortable seats, with blovely views across the harbour and of Malaga.

The balcony was specious

Cons:

There were some minor routine issues that were due to inconsistencies and I am sure that these would have been easily corrected/addessee had I asked.

Toller Blick auf die Stadt, das Meer und den Hafen
Pros:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit einem traumhaften Blick auf den Hafen, das Meer, die Stadt und den alten Schloss. Bei Sonnenuntergang lohnt es sich ein Gläschen Cava zu trinken und die Atmosphäre genießen!!!

Cons:

Die Bedienung im Restaurant könnte ein Tick schneller sein. Sonst ist trotzdem alles perfekt gewesen.

Wouldn’t return but location beautiful
Pros:

Location was great, room spacious & clean

Cons:

Breakfast was awful-no customer service, a lot of waiting, buffet was adequate but no spoons, no glasses, no water, when you asked you felt like you were being annoying & difficult. Cracked cups too & if you wanted any cooked breakfast that really wasn’t an option - all in all very disappointing.
Whole place needs a refurbishment & staff need to learn how to speak to guests.

Lovely
Pros:

Great hotel with the view on the whole Malaga coast. Rooms have balconies and they were a real treat in the sunshine with the view! Rooms were spacious and clean. Loved the streaming service in the room that allowed us to stream movies from our phones to the room tv. The only disadvantage of this hotel was that the staff working in the bar that night was extremely slow and it took a long time to get your drink delivered.

Pros:

Huoneesta maisema huikean kaunis. Hotellin koko sopivan pieni. Sijainti erinomainen, luonnon keskellä ja patikointiakin voi harrastaa aivan hotellin läheisyydessä. Terassi kiva nautiskella kahvista ja virvokkeista. Ja pikkusuolaisesta. Aamiainen hyvä. Liikuntaesteiselle suihkutila loistava, amme poistettu. Bussi Malagan keskustaan oli hyvä tunnin välein

Cons:

Pikkusuolaiste valikoima ei niin meidän makuumme.

Bien.
Pros:

Personnel efficace et aimable. Chambre spacieuse et lit confortable.

Cons:

Petit-déjeuner perfectible vu le prix (fromages peu variés, confitures industrielles, une seule sorte de jus de fruits). Restaurant très cher par rapport aux plats proposés. Chaînes de tv peu nombreuses et aucune chaîne francophone.
