The room was perfect for my solo stay. The hotel is perfectly located next to anything you could want to walk to. The host gave me great recommendations for meals and sights. He was accommodating to my arrival time and everything went as smooth as could be. I’ll definitely return.

Pretty and very characterful traditional home. Our room was interesting—pretty Moroccan style furnishings such as a painted ceramic sink. Quite small but adequate, though the bed was against the wall so one person had to climb over the other to get out. Alright if you’re young but one of us is in our 70’s. A door on the toilet would have been much appreciated. Tea making was provided in a common area but not before 8:30 am which is quite late to wait for a cup of drink in the morning! Overall it seemed a bit pricy for the accommodation. The owner was very nice and helpful.

Property was nice, street outside was not great. The guy who greeted us was a bit off. Didn’t want to be there or seemed bothered and agitated with work in general. Might have been the owner, but he is very short tempered. Everyone has bad days, but running a hospitality business, attitude is key. And this is coming from being in the business for 20 years.

Incredible!!!

Gerard is super friendly and the hotel is BEAUTIFUL. Perfect walking distance to restaurants, sight seeing, and the beach. As a group of young women, we felt extremely safe. There’s air conditioning in the room and a coffee station downstairs. There’s even an adorable ragdoll cat that roams the hotel - it felt like a movie. Couldn’t say a bad word about this place. My go-to recommendation for anyone’s stay in Malaga.

The aesthetically pleasing vitrified ceramic tile flooring and wall treatments were a notable feature. Its convenient proximity to area attractions, restaurants, cafes, and eateries was advantageous. However, the property's location at the end of a street experiencing issues with homelessness and public intoxication presented safety concerns. On the morning leaving for breakfast, human waste was discovered near the entrance. Furthermore, early morning construction noise from the lower level disrupted our sleep. Parking was limited and the spaces were cramped.

Good stay in Malaga

The atmosphere was excellent—old style Arabic/Old Spanish establishment with internal courtyard and rooms with internal windows. A very authentic feel and dare I write, quaint. There was no noise from outside. Internal noise echoed a bit but the other guests weren’t noisy. The bed was spotlessly clean. The shower head needed a gasket to stop the water spraying everywhere except from the shower head itself! The holder on the wall for the shower head itself was too worn out to hold the shower head so I had to hold the shower head or rest it on the taps. The sink plug was fully inserted and to get it out so the sink could drain I had to dig it out with my fingernails. The hotel is close to the town’s restaurants and bars and the Alcazar and Roman Teatro. Excellent. I really enjoyed my stay but the shower and sink need some TLC. Get that fixed and it’s a gem.
