Fun, clean place with a great location - a short walk to the beach and a few great restaurants.

Breakfast really good- fresh fruit and freshly baked bread and cake! Lovely terrace with sea view. Family run hotel, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.

David

United Kingdom

Very well docorated and nicely furnished older building that has been maintained very well. Our room was very big and included a small private terrace. The bed was comfortable and very clean. The roof-top terrace was a great place to relax or to enjoy a take-away meal. Although it is a bit of a walk to get to the city center, we enjoyed the walk along the beach to get there. You can also easily use the 'lime' scooters if your legs are feeling tired.

This is really a great Hotel! We highly recommend it! First of all the rooms were spacy, lovely decorated, clean and pretty. Then the Overall design of the Hotel is truly Special, you will for sure take some Picture of it :) Then the staff is super helpful as well. We enjoyed our stay (as well as the breakfast) here and would certainly come again!

The only drawback might be if you are not good going up a flight of stairs with the luggage from the street to the reception, but I am positive it can be accommodated by the hotel employees.
Was a great stay! The employees, the room, the location, everything deserves a praise and very much appreciated! We are definitely coming back when in Malaga.

Very nice, comfort, quiet and clean room. Very friendly staff. we have asked for a late check out but since they were fully booked, they allowed us to take a shower at the shower of the lobby. 2 min walk from the beach, 15 min from the centre!
