Excellent, as always but breakfast standards need to be maintained.
Pros:

I have stayed here a number of times. One, if not the, favourite hotel in Malaga. Great location, very good, helpful staff. Breakfast choice is superb. Coffee from the pod machines is excellent.

Cons:

I have a feeling that the plates supplied for breakfast were smaller than in previous visits. A crafty way to hold down costs? Not really what I would expect from this class of hotel.

Otroligt bra läge nära till allt men skippa frukosten
Pros:

Läget, sängen, hotellbaren och läget:)

Cons:

Frukosten va riktigt dålig! Spara era pengar och gå ut och ät frukost, finns gott om brunch och frukostställen nära.
Det enda som smakade nåt va frukten allt annat va riktigt osmakligt! Även kaffet

Pros:

Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was cleaned to perfection every day. Breakfast buffet was decent and the dining quarters were good. Gym was tidy but small.

Cons:

The pool situated on the rooftop was oddly placed next to the most popular bar in town. This led to guests trying to get some sun/bathing feeling like zoo animals on display for the walk-in guests that came to the restaurant. The two did not really match. Felt awkward. As the pool area was a huge thing for us booking the hotel, this was a let down. Another thing was the beds in the room were very squeaky and felt like the legs were loose. Could use an upgrade. Lastly you could hear a lot of noise from the halls through the door. As we were situated close to the elevator on the floor this was unfortunate.
