Malaga Hotel Reviews

Not as easy to get to as some reveiewers claim. Easy to find on a 2nd or 3rd visit - once you know where the Holiday Inn is, but otherwise you're forced to get a taxi at a minimum fare of €19. Good for one or two nights, but there is very, very little to do in and around the hotel. Breakfast (free) is extremeley good but it's best to get to the restaurant early before it gets too busy. Hotel rooms are well equipped but the TV gives little choice for English speakers. Vending machines also very expensive.

we stayed in the express by holiday inn Malaga hotel as we had an early departure from Malaga Airport. The hotel was excellent value for money and perfectly satisfactory for a stay prior to a flight; I was impressed that a self-service breakfast was available (and included in the price) at an early hour in the morning. The hotel would really benefit from providing a shuttle service to/from the airport, even if guests were required to pay. Coming from the airport the hotel is located very near a bus stop (just over a pedestrian bridge and a short walk) but understandably other reviewers have raised the issue of being uneasy walking from the hotel to bus stop in darkness if you are unfamiliar with the area. It is difficult to avoid paying premium taxi fares to/from the airport to the hotel if you dont have your own transport, but overall it worked out the best availalbe option and I would stay here again.

The hotel was well situated for places of interest including the cathedral which is only about 5 minutes walk away. Rooms were comfortable although insulation poor and sounds in corridor from both guests and cleaning staff a little disturbing. Breakfast excellent good choice hot or cold and, as self service, as much as you wished. Staff efficient -limited communication but polite and pleasant.

Excellent hotel in a very good central location for easy walk to old town and many sights. Very efficient and friendly reception staff. Would definately recommend it to friends and family visiting Malaga.

central situation, we had not a very good night, because it was very noisy in the streets. our room was in the 2nd floor at the back, not a nice view. room nicely decorated, huge bathroom but small bath... good breakfast

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.

Perfect location - cetnral to everything Hotel lovely, spotless, staff very friendly and helpful
