Beautiful views, charming older hotel. Not central but a path is there to bring you down to the center.....albeit it's fairly steep. Only downside I would say is that there is no service at the pool. The restaurant is very good.

The hotel was excellent - breakfast was fabulous both cooked and buffet available. Rooms were clean and spacious with fabulous view over the marina and up to the castle The one thing I would say the hotel is lacking is a roof top bar / drinks available at the pool even for a soft drink you have to go downstairs to the front bar . Also a snack bar would be very accommodating even just for fruit or a bowl of fries !! The views from the pool are stunning and definitely would recommend the hotel. The steep walk up and down to Malaga centre is not for the faint hearted or infirm a taxi / uber would be more acceptable!!!

Best views you can get in Malaga. The pool was a tad run down and wish it had access to drinks, even water would be nice. Sunsets were incredible. Walking down into town is doable but not ideal with slope and stairs. Uber on the way up from town is a must. I would have loved the hotel to have a market to purchase simple items like sunscreen or chips, since nothing is nearby. A bit touristy people hanging out front with the castle and all… But a lovely stay, really pretty exterior, full-length mirrors in the room and helpful staff.

This was a beautiful hotel advertised as being kid friendly. We had a beautiful view of the Port of Malaga with the castle right behind our corner room. We had a huge triple room as we were traveling with our 16 year old autistic son. Kid friendly, maybe but autistic friendly not! After a long day of traveling we went to dinner in the patio which was lovely. They accommodated our son by making pasta with marinara which is all he eats. He wanted a second bowl so I told him I had to see if the kitchen was still open. At this point he had a bit of a meltdown and went running inside told the waiter he was still hungry. Due to a recent knee procedure I couldn’t chase him down. Next thing I know the manager was at my table scolding me that they had paying guests inside that he was disturbing. Was I not a paying guest after having spent close to $500 on the room and dinner? The waiters and guests were very empathetic and understanding however management was not. He sat back down very calmly and they did get him a second bowl of pasta. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with an autistic child or any children for that matter, They told me he couldn’t go back to the pool because it was getting crowded with guests. Weren’t we guests? Swimming is his therapy and that’s why we booked it for the stunning rooftop pool. Our 5 day stay at the Parador in Cadiz after was a completely different,
