“One bad experience marred an otherwise excellent stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

From the price we paid I wasn't expecting anything fancy or flash. The hotel was clean and central, nice bedroom (a bit of noise from outside, but just what you would expect on a city break). The breakfast room was also the bar/cafe which was very bright and pleasant, and the food was fine too. However on one morning we mentioned to the waiter the the coffee in the flask was cold. To prove to us that he thought it was warm he poured a cup in front of us - and stuck his finger in it! Incredible - I have never seen anything like this! He continued to argue with us, then eventually brought hot coffee from the cafe counter (not that hard to do) then said we would have to pay extra. Needless to say we did not pay extra - and he did not stick his finger into the steaming cup to prove it was hot!

Without this encounter, I would have given the hotel 5 stars - it was clean, central, great value with (mostly) helpful polite staff. I would still recommend it - but do be careful of that coffee!

“Fine for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

We stayed for one night as planned, and found it do be quite average. We were glad we didn't have to stay longer as it came across as a bit dingy and in parts unkempt (stains on the carpet in the corridor, very rickety lift etc).

However it was clean and for the price paid probably what one would expect. I wouldn't want to stay here for a week long holiday, but for a night stop over it's fine. Nice and close to the main part of town, which is good.

“Good location, nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2011

Very good location, about 15 minutes walk from the railway station and five minutes from the town centre. Nice hotel too, certainly no problems with it! Just 20 minutes walk up the riverbed to the football ground too, and that's the most important thing, of course!

“Nothing out of the ordinary”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and although there was nothing particularly wrong with it, neither were there any notieably good features.
The rooms were of average size, with slightly dated and plain decor; the en suite similar.
The single beds weren't particularly comfortable but the room itself was light and airy with a balcony style window onto the street below.
The staff were fine but not overly friendly or helpful.
The location was fairly good however the hotel does overlook an empty man-made river as well as having a slightly dirty, run-down area next to it.
Additonally, the afternoon we arrived an unexpected maintenance man arrived who spoke no english and just walked into our bathroom uninvited. This was inconvenient, especially as we had not been warned that he would be coming.
On the plus side there is a computer in the hotel lobby with free internet access for guests which we took full advantage of during our stay.
Overall the hotels standard was equivalent to the price we paid but would say that there is probably much better value accomodation to be had in Malaga.

“Was ok, but not what I expected.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

The Hotel was ok, but nothing exciting. Location was good. It looks on the map that you have to walk a bit to get to the main sites, but actually this City is so small, that it felt like everything was around the corner (maybe not the beach), so that was a big plus for us. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They spoke English too, so that's a plus.

Unfortunately terrible smell in the bathroom and from the air conditioning made me want to leave this hotel as soon as we arrived. We stayed only for 2 nights, so we didn't bother, but it was disturbing. And, of course as everywhere in Spain, acoustics of the building sucked! You could hear your neighbors, people getting the elevator - our room was just beside it and there was a huge noise from the streets. Ear plugs didn't really work in there.

Overall, price was good (but maybe a little overpriced) and I wasn't very unhappy about the rest but would never go back there.
