Location superb - great view of Malaga from the top of the hill near the castle

Kate, Australia

The views from the hotel were spectacular, overlooking the whole area

David, United Kingdom

Beautiful view across Malaga. Lovely hotel with stunning bedrooms.

Kate, United Kingdom

We liked everything - this is a fantastic hotel in a great location with terrific staff and a wonderful view

Ian, United Kingdom

Very friendly and comfortable and the view was spectacular

Julia, United Kingdom

Room with a view and excellent breakfast. Helpful staff.

Mb, United Kingdom

Beautiful location. Spacious rooms. Lovely restaurant

Anthony, United Kingdom

I love the Spanish Paradores, but this one is more of a 4 star than 5 star. Not the best value for money, in my opinion. No in room coffee, and breakfast is meh, but pretty expensive at 18 or 19 Euros per person. While the views are stunning, and the rooftop pool very nice, the location requires a taxi to and from town (unless you really like a strenuous hike). Still a beautiful place.

William, Canada

The room was relatively large, clean and comfortable providing great views over Malaga

Scott, Australia

Wonderful views - especially at night and right by the Castillo.

No Sherpa guides to assist with the walk to the hotel. I would still have booked the hotel for the views however I would have preferred if this had been explained or revealed prior to the booking. The hotel was booked due it's location to the city centre which stated 0.5miles, this was 0.5miles of climbing steps.
The views from the hotel were spectacular, overlooking the whole area
