Pros:

Central location near the port and a walk to some of the main tourist spots.
Clean. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The roof top pool & bar. There is zero shade so it's pretty gruelling up there after a short while during high temperatures. Space is very small. Don't book this hotel for it's pool.

Air conditioning in the room worked intermittently. Too hot some nights as a/c never kicked in.

Great, relaxing, right on center of all action stay.
Pros:

Great hotel in the middle of everyone. Beach is nearby, the main shopping street is 2 min away by walking, the staff are excellent and so helpful. Breakfast was also great with lot of variety. I would return for sure.

Świetne miejsce na city break w Maladze
Pros:

Hotel jest położony idealnie - pomiedzy starym miastem (tuż obok katedry) a promenadą w porcie. Naprawdę trudno o lepszą lokalizację w Maladze.

Cons:

Trochę mało stolików na śniadaniu jak na tę liczbę gości, ale to tylko w weekend

Bästa läget men dyrt
Pros:

Läget var superbra. Jag betalade extra för balkong med utsikt mot hamnen men när man sitter där ser man inget pga balkongens staket. En bräda som sitter precis i ögonhöjd. Borde ha varit glas för det priset. Dessutom för lågt staket..Bara 1 meter, borde vara 110 cm.

Cons:

Lite dyrt kanske. Frukost för 500 SEK var överpris. Jag fick inte mitt rum förrän klockan 16 pga late check out. När jag frågade om jag kunde få det också eftersom mitt flyg gick på kvällen kunde jag bara få 1 timme till klockan 13.

A must stay hotel
Pros:

Good: Location, staff, room size, bathroom size, near by resturants

Bad: Car parking is across the hotel but you have to take a big 5 minutes loop at get to it.

Details:
We had an exceptional stay at the AC Hotel Málaga and would highly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome with thoughtful personal touches that made our visit unforgettable. Waiting in our room was a luxurious bathrobe beautifully embroidered with my initials, along with a delicious oversized cookie that was such a pleasant surprise after our journey.

The hotel itself is modern, spotless, and in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore Málaga's attractions on foot. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

What really stood out was the attention to detail and outstanding customer service. It's those small, personalized gestures that turn a great hotel into a memorable experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose AC Hotel Málaga again on our next visit to Spain.

Wonderful Hotel on all fronts
Pros:

The location is nearby everything, the room was comfortable and always clean but most importantly the staff attentiveness and friendliness was exceptional. The concierge Sara was superb! She was so helpful in providing info and helping with reservations whenever necessary. However the entire staff was so friendly and professional. I would always return to AC Palacio for next visits to Malaga, it was truly a wonderful stay there.

Glorious Roof Top Bar
Pros:

Our second visit to Malaga and we wanted to experience a quality rooftop bar.
Nice warm greeting at reception.
You pay €11 on entry to the bar and this covers your first drink.
We were lucky enough to to get a seat. Nice range of drinks - strawberry daiquiri was a little disappointing but the G&T was lovely.
Lots of instagram folks and plenty of posing but I guess that is part and parcel of why you go there.
We went up for sunset and it was really beautiful.
Definitely worth a visit
