Calm, spacious, fantastic views and well maintained.
Pros:

Rooms very spacious and well kept. Excellent views over the entire city. Cleaning staff went above and beyond having our room cleaned daily regardless of the time we headed out. Very comfortable hotel and quiet.

Nothing.

Mooi hotel met een heel goed restaurant.
Pros:

Ligging is geweldig met een prachtig uitzicht over de stad Malaga.
Daarnaast vlak naast het kasteel en de moeite waard om te bezoeken.

Cons:

Stevige tippel naar beneden laat staan weer omhoog maar een taxi is natuurlijk een prima alternatief.
Personeel niet altijd zo vriendelijk.

Beautiful views and food
Pros:

The view was excellent from all of the rooms

Cons:

It would be good to swim before breakfast but the pool only opens at 10 and breakfast finishes at 11. Therefore we didn't book breakfast because we didn't have enough time.

Pros:

공간이 넓고 뷰가 정말 좋습니다. 필요한 어메니티를 요청하면 잘 가져다주고, 위치가 히브랄파로 성과 가깝기 때문에 택시도 불러줍니다. 방온도도 따뜻하고 물도 수압도 좋습니다.

Cons:

아 조식을 신청하신 분들은 다시한번 생각해보세요. 가격은 비싼데 정말 형편없어요.. 다시 간다면 숙소는 묵더라도 조식은 안먹을거에요...

Not as good as it could be
Pros:

Location is spectacular with views over the harbour and city.
The staff we met were welcoming and helpful.
Excellent breakfast!**

Cons:

**Unfortunately the evening meal fell far short of our expectations. Although marketed as fine dining, the views from the restaurant at night are wonderful, the same cannot be said of the food we were served.
Hot food served cold on cold plates. It ruins an evenings dining if one of the party has to send their meal back to the kitchen.
If we do return we will definitely eat out in the evening

The Malaga Parador
Pros:

Two days at the Parador Gibralfaro was an excellent rounding off of our tour of the Malaga region. We have been well served, given good facilities and enjoyed the usual high quality of cooking.
