This hotel is perfectly located in central Málaga, with shops, restaurants, and attractions all close by. The hotel was amazing, the staff were lovely and always helpful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and I would definitely recommend it.
The whole hotel is spotless, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast is great, not too busy, coffee machines were difficult to work out initially but after that no issue. I like the way you can choose your eggs in a morning. The water fountain on each floor is a novelty also.
The two of us would stay here again.

This was a short overnight stay for us but the hotel room was clean and well equipped and the beds comfortable. The bathroom was luxurious and the shower lovely and hot. We also had a balcony which was lovely and allowed us to have fresh air into the room.
Great location, good clean rooms, lovely staff . Only knocked a star off as it wasn't communicated to us that the cafe would be closed outside of breakfast times ,the times were simply scribbled out on our information card. I assume this is because it's low season, understandable just wish we had been told
Fantastic hotel. Great staff, super helpful and friendly. Perfect location.

Very clean room, friendly staff. Good breakfast and Happy Hour!! Good central location, slightly noisy first thing in morning, from the street, bins emptied etc but you can request a quiet room.
We had a short stay in Malaga after flying in from Australia. We booked on line with fingers crossed for a good hotel & location. We struck gold with the Icon. It exceeded all our expectations in every way. Staff were so kind & helpful, the rooms were spacey, clearly renovated & the location perfect. Thank you to Icon. It was a wonderful stay
Great location for exploring the historic and cultural centre of Malaga. A bonus was the convenient bike hire service that was better value than local bike rental shops.
