Eurostars Astoria Hotel Malaga

I stayed here for 3 nights during a recent trip to Malaga and really enjoyed this hotel. It has a very convenient location as it is very close to the Centro Metro station (from which you can easily get to the Main Train station in Malaga (Maria Zambrano), or to the airport or on down the Costa Del Sol as far as Fuiengerola. [The main train station is also next door to the intercity bus station for buses to places like Seville]. The check in was very professional and I got a room on the 7th floor with a nice view out to the west of Malaga city. One of the nice features of this hotel is that the baths have whirlpool jets in them , so you can pour in lots of shampoo and have a bubble bath. There was a large TV set with a very wide range of Spanish and International channels. There was an air-conditioing and heating control panel, but I wasn't quite sure how this worked, and ended up just leaving the window open to cool the room. The breakfast was good and there was a nice selection of food - including hot choices such as sasauges and fried mushrooms and scrammbled eggs. The lady looking after the breakfast room was very friendly and welcoming each morning. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the main downtown shopping district of Malaga, and there is a giant El Corte Ingles department store about a 10 minute walk away (accross the bridge over a dry river bed). My check out was also speedy and professional, and I would recommend this hotel to any business traveller , or anyone visiting Malaga city for a short stay.
