Stylowy, komfortowy, wyborne śniadania
Pros:

Urokliwy wystrój hotelu, wiele stylowych detali. Taras słoneczny na dachu. Znakomite, smaczne śniadanie, duży wybór dla wegetarian. Cicho w nocy. Dogodny dojazd z centrum miasta, blisko nad morze. Jeśli kiedyś jeszcze zawitam do Malagi, wybiorę ten hotel.

Trevligt hotell med bra läge
Pros:

Läget är utmärkt, med en kort promenad ner till stranden. Personalen är hjälpsam och terrassen på taket är ett plus.

Cons:

Jag bodde nära hissen och den hörs, och tyvärr är det ganska lyhört överlag.

Comfortable place to spend a few days close enough to walk into Malaga or nip to the beach.
Cons:

Is it haunted?

Stay away from room 403!!
Pros:

The building itself is charming, with stylish furnishings, a very nice terrace and a unique character but my overall experience was extremely disappointing.

Cons:

The room 403 wasn’t bad at first sight —in fact, the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in—but the problems started right after my arrival. After a long 5-hour motorcycle ride, I took a shower to recover, only to find the entire room flooded. I immediately went to the reception, where Victor, who greeted me, offer me a refund right away and in a rude way called it a solution, but that made no sense as a solution—I would have been stranded in Málaga on a Saturday night. Worse still, the issue clearly wasn’t new: mold on the walls, warped surfaces, and a strong musty smell. The next day, they gave me another room just for showers, but that was still inconvenient: who wants to roam around just for shower? Then, the third day, they demanded I hand back the key, offering no alternative except using a staff bathroom. Lucio, an empathetic Argentinian staff member, was the only one who understood the issue and tried to push for a partial refund, but he had no power on this. In the end, all they gave me was a €40 parking credit and a free breakfast (that I refused as I don’t do breakfast - and they knew since I didn’t have it the previous days. As someone who rarely leaves negative reviews, I just feel it’s crucial to highlight the lack of proper management. On top of that, the room was filthy—dust on the ceiling fan, hair on the bed, and no toilet brush. Overall, a huge letdown since I’ve paid 140€ per night!

Good location, staff etc would definitely stay again if in Malaga.
Pros:

Room and location excellant. Breakfast bit disappointing, not much choice of fresh fruit, would have liked more hot food e.g. choice of eggs.

Cons:

Breakfast as this certainly is more a 4 star taking in all the other aspects of hotel.
