    No information in the room - on hotel facilities or surroundings. It's a business hotel not a holiday focussed one so that's probably pretty usual.

    Loved the location and the staff.

    I don't think there was anything we didn't like. We'd stay again.

    Location is absolutely ideal - a minute's walk from the cathedral as well as restaurants and shops in the old town. On the other side, the park is very close and a short walk to the sea, Pompidou etc. Our view was lovely - over the cathedral and the town to the hills beyond. Inside the hotel is modern and very clean, and our room was big with a huge comfy bed. The room terrace is great - we sat there one evening, but on another occasion there was a private party. Very welcoming staff, and helpful with luggage, taxis etc. We were very pleased we chose this hotel.

    Not enough toilet rolls, coffee , tea or milk for a 3 night stay. We had to request supplies on day two and day three.

    Location was superb. Staff were friendly and fabulous. Roof top bar and restaurant was beautiful and blankets were provided up top by night.

    We went from Dec 28-29th and the Hotel was beautifully decorated with christmas spirit. The location for us was excellent and its very close to Los Larios were all the lighting shows are held. Rooms were clean and a great view to the Ocean. Breakfast and lobby very good. Will definitively go back to the same hotel.

    Our room - 419 - was towards the back of the hotel, so although we couldn’t hear any road noise, our view was not very good (other hotel windows and generators etc) and there was little light. We could also hear the lift being used constantly and every time the lift stopped, it made a squeaking sound so I had to use earplugs.

    Location to Malaga centre and Port. Staff were very friendly. Beds comfortable. Room clean. Nice toiletries.

    The fact there is no plug sockets next to the bed & the menu at the restaurant is not very veggie friendly.

    The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Malaga! All the attractions were close by. The staff are wonderful, especially those working the rooftop bar, always so welcoming & polite in particular Nabil always had a big smile on his face.

    Bedrooms really need MORE accessible ELECTRIC SOCKETS and a shower standing in the bath wasn’t the best hotels should now offer.

    The location is perfect for us, next to the cathedral and city centre while st the same time overlooking the always interesting port of Malaga. Sunrise was amazing every morning too. The dining room is light with a panoramic view of the harbour; menu was good but many top city hotel breakfasts offer more choice. The roof top dining and bar with swimming pool has to have the best view in Malaga and as good as any in the world. Menu good. Our bedroom was perfect: bed extremely comfortable, view exceptional, extremely clean, air conditioning v effective and virtually silent (v rare in this world). Staff plentiful and v helpful at all times. Two minutes walk to the pedestrianised city centre; or to the exceptional coastal paths alongside the port and out along the coast. Walk (or hire cycles 3 minutes walk). Great choice of restaurants, walk to castle etc all v v close.

    There is the option to order other breakfast dishes but this is not publicised by the staff. You have to spot the card on a stand near some of the buffet food to realise this. Personally, I think it would be helpful if a copy of these options was placed on each of the tables as this would increase customer awareness, and possible uptake, of these other options.

    The staff I encountered during my stay were all very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was well appointed. Unfortunately the coffee machine was not working, but these things happen. The breakfast was good, as was the coffee.

    No parking but we knew that and there's plenty of car parks around and that's not the hotel's fault.

    We've stayed here a few times and we really like ut. Although it's quite expensive it's worth it. Great location, friendly staff, lovely rooftop pool/bar/restaurant with great views.
