Málaga Hotel Eliseos

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely warm welcome at reception. The hotel is well located in a safe area with a 7 minute walk to the port and about the same to town. 15 to the beach. It's right next to the bull ring and if you go to the rooftop, you can soak in the atmosphere, hear the music and see the crowds. You can't see the bull fighting. The rooftop pool is lovely but it's small and the sun deck is equally small, so very crowded up there if you're lucky enough to get a spot up there. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The beds are comfortable and the curtains are great at keeping the sun out. We had breakast one day of our stay and there was a large choice of food, drinks and a good selection of hot drink. Good value. I can't really fault the hotel. We had a lovely stay. Definatley very happy to reccomend it and would stay again."

"There is a nice fragrance as you enter, this is an upmarket hostel. Staff are first class. The room was spotlessly clean, staff regularly empty bins and the privacy screen is perfect. I was booked in a female dorm room for 4. The secure drawer is operated through your own keycard so no padlock needed and extra storage space is optional. The air con can be adjusted to suit yourself and everything in the room worked as it should. There’s a cafe adjoining which do amazing cooked breakfast options and the options got me more than I could eat. There’s a pool and rooftop bar if you want to socialise. My flight was later in the evening and I obtained a locker to store my case which was very useful. I would recommend this hostel plus it’s a great location for the evening."
