This is a quirky hotel very well positioned on the bus route and a 15 minute walk into the old town. The room and bathroom were good value and the reception staff very helpful

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Malaga Centre
Decent comfortable room. About 1km walk into the centre of Malaga. Great if you’re fit enough, possibly a bit far out if you’re with younger children, older folk or those less able. Would recommend!!

Catalonia Molina Lario
Exceptional hotel, amazing location. Front desk staff were so helpful with finding parking next to hotel. Rooftop bar and pool is lovely, and well used. A real find in a city. Rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We will be back, highly recommend.
