"Staff was fantastic, super welcoming and helpful. Room was dated and had a bad smell. For the romantic mountain view room I would've expected better - if a couple were honeymooning there the smell would've been a huge turn off. The room has limited amenities but front desk had hair dryers etc. Restaurant was fantastic."

"Very helpful staff, and the room was very beautiful and unique! Location is great due to proximity to train station, very easy to get to and from the hotel to Malaga center but also calm because the train schedule is not very frequent. Breakfast was excellent and the garden and swimming pool were well maintained and beautiful. Overall a great spot to stay!"
