Cons:

Flott hotell, men preget av litt slitasje i gangene og på rommene. Tapet som har løsnet i skjøtene og sprekker i veggene på badet.

Viele tolle Erinnerungen
Pros:

Die Lage ist TOP. Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sehr bemüht: das Problem ich kann schlecht englisch und gar nicht spanisch. Die Zimmer und vor allem die Betten waren TOP. Das Frühstück bot sehr viel Auswahl und war Landestypisch.

Cons:

Ich persönlich habe gerne zum Frühstück knackiges Gemüse wie Radischen, Gurken, Paprika - das gab es nicht aber viele andere Köstlichkeiten.

Decent hotel at mainline station with very good transport links.
Pros:

Brilliant location at main railway station for accessing Malaga airport and key inland cities such as Cordoba and Granada.
Good powerful shower. Good selection of food at breakfast. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Room was too hot and not possible to change temperature of air conditioning set for winter yet over 26 degrees outside and our south facing room was in full sun.

Pleasant stay . For a 4star hotel our room wasn’t up to standard.
Pros:

Location . Staff very nice . Bed comfortable.sheets very soft .

Cons:

The room wasn’t well designed …… the tea and coffee area were poor ……… had to ask for extra teabags that we used mote than once … the area under the tv was sparse …should have been some furniture there..the colour scheme was not enticing … is didn’t have a cozy feeling to it . Not enough hangers and not enough drawers space. Also our shower leaked !

Great hotel
Pros:

Good location, clean and tidy

Cons:

Use of the roof top by day was great. A bar or even a vending machine or water station would have helped to get a cool drink or a snack.
