This hotel calls itself a hostal, and this is what it is. It is considered here to be cheap but considering what you get I would not necessarily agree. Rooms are very average and totally impersonal and charmless. It does not give you the feeling of a chain hotel though. Cleanliness of the room and bathroom was not convincing and... More

Situated right next to the cathederal you can not find a better location for Malaga site seeing. A small basic hotel with few facilities although they do have secure car parking. Ideal for a short stay. Good friendly English speaking staff. More

I stayed there for 10 days on my own . I found that the hotel was generally good with very polite and pleasant staff. However , one gentleman ( receptionist) did what could only be described as 'expose' him self to me whilst I was there. He was standing in front of me with his fly undone, wide open and... More

Excellent hotel, good value for money. I have been staying at Carlos V for many years and it is always clean, confortable and friendly. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay. It is in an excellent location near the castle and cathedral, as well as bars, restaurants and of course the beach. More

We stayed for 10 days - longer than planned thanks to the volcanic ash problem. The hotel is in an excellent location particularly for pedestrians. It is immediately behind the cathedral and within wast walking distance of the bus terminal, restaurants and shopping, and the waterfront. I can't comment on parking as we got a bus from the airport.

stayed in Oct 2010 as a stop-over on our way to Gibraltar. Major construction work going on in the area but to be honest - the location of the hotel is outstanding so we didn't really mind. parking is up the road off to the right in an underground area (light switch is immediately to your left as you open...

It was a little bid hard to find this hotel since this area was underconstruction and part of building nearby was covered up. Small basic room (single) but enough for 1 with TV, AC, Safe box, hair dryer. Clean shower room. No kettle in a room. No breakfast at hotel. Vending machine at lobby to buy softdrinks. 3min walk to... More

If you expect a 3-4 star hotel with nice views - this is not a hotel for you. This is a small, quiet hotel which is located right in the center of the city. Rooms are small, with tiny windows. Ours was overlooking a wall of the nearby building. Showers come with built-in jacuzzi function, which was cool (although the... More
