The location and view over the city were fantastic. The staff quickly changed the room when there was an issue with the original room. It was a relaxing stopover on a road trip. The breakfast buffet was very well stocked.

John Spain

Beautiful view and a lovely room! Lots of space, great location!

Amy United States of America

Location of hotel was awesome but our room was phenomenal. We had almost 180 views from our balcony which contained 2 chairs, 2 loungers and a table. The room and bathroom were huge, clean and one of only 5 on the floor. The hotel was right next to the castle and the pathway to town (mind you, the pathway is not for lightweights - it is about 1/2 mile down, some parts steep. & even more of a challenge up). Of course we loved doing it so we did it the day we arrived and the next morning before breakfast!). The restaurant on the third floor for dinner and the bar at the entry are highly recommended!

Catherine United States of America

Beautiful building and location. Amazing views. The reception was friendly.

Sonny United Kingdom

Fabulous location with just a walk to visit the castle. Spectacular views and friendly staff.

Gail France

The staff is super friendly and the location is great! Perfect for enjoying the view !

Victoria Mexico

Fabulous location and great facilities, specially the roof top pool and terraces.

Chris Sudan

Very safe, hand sanitizer every where and safety measures in place including set times for meals, and the pool no overcrowding

Avril Spain

Great views. Bus stop outside for town. Free parking.

Keith United Kingdom

Historic Malaga is best of Costa del Sol and only second to Seville in Andalusia. Conveniently located near the castillo with a panoramic view of the harbor.

  • How long does it take to walk down to the centre of Malaga? and to walk back, is it uphill? Would it be OK for an older person aged 80? Thank you

    There is a footpath near the Parador, which leads to the city centre, it takes 20 minutes to reach the city or the harbour Muelle 1. If you don't have any mobility problem you can walk easily to the centre with comfortable shoes.
