it’s very charming and welcoming. all the staff were very friendly but Modesto went above and beyond giving us all kinds of places to visit, how to get around where to eat. the roof top terrace is spectacular! it’s just a short stroll down to the beaches which were clean and have several little restaurants all along it.

Shelby United States of America

The wonderful owners and staff, old world charm of the hotel, roof top view from the solarium, and outstanding breakfast made our stay in Malaga perfect.

Patricia United States of America

Breakfast great! Room a bit small but clean. Near the beach. Within walking distance to some good restaurants.

Kasia Switzerland

Beautiful small hotel near the beach La Caleta, it is very close to the city center but far enough if you want to avoid noisy crowds of young tourists in the streets at night. Breakfast was great value for money, 10 euros. I highly recommend this place. Another time in Malaga I am staying here.

Maraimarin Croatia

This was a wonderful, memorable stay. The hotel is so beautiful with unique art and antiques that make the experience incredible. The staff was warm, friendly, helpful and always there. We had breakfast twice and it was terrific. There is a lovely patio out front to sit and watch the world go by. Very close to the beach! fabulous rooftop terrace with a view of the sea. Grocery store around the corner for your wine.
