The terrace and the deck from the rooftop pool were beautiful, and our room was really nice with a lovely sun deck and view.

Janice United States of America

love the view of Málaga port and our veranda. comfy beds, great breakfast and helpful staff. Bar area also serves yummy tapas

Linda United States of America

You know you are at a good place when groups of tourists fill the parking lot to enjoy the hotel's view. The facilities and service was also very good.

Ole-henrik Norway

Location fantastic, room very nice with stunning view. Breakfast good. Staff very good.

Martin United Kingdom

Views great, staff friendly - cafe resturant good food and good value

Marcus United Kingdom

An unbeatable location overlooking town and harbour of Malaga. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The waiters at the breakfast were friendly and efficient too. The cleaning service for our room was just perfect.

Andreas Spain

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.
