"We stayed here when we arrived in Malaga in the evening. The location was convenient to the airport with our rental car. The location was not good if we had been planning on spending time in Malaga. There was nothing to do in the neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful. The gardens were beautiful."

Good enough choice and buffet so can go back for more if you needed. Minuses: Freezer shelf of mini fridge had no ocver so it froze everything on shelf below. Very little roon for food items. Shower sliding doors come off rails easily and a little dirty. Al in all it was pretty good for a very budget level city hotel. I would stay again."
