Hotels on first line in Malaga

Housekeeping including turn down service were extraordinary. Breakfast gets busy but is never crowded and there's enough staff around to serve. Restaurant experience was great and portions at lunch huge

Location is a bit away from the center of the city but close to the beach, which can be plus or minus depending on your preference. For the price I expected better services

Beautiful hotel. Staff were very nice. Lots is amenities. We upgraded our room and it was very nice but the view was not as great as described in the description when we selected the room.

Her dedication made our wedding day not just stress-free, but truly magical. The amenities at the hotel were top-notch. We loved lounging by the stunning pool, which offered a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun

From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the hotel’s fantastic location, which allowed us to easily explore the surrounding area while providing a serene oasis to retreat to after a day of adventures

The on-site restaurant provided an array of delicious dining options, and we especially enjoyed the rooftop. The views were breathtaking, and the ambiance was perfect for celebrating our special occasion

Great Hotel, Friendly Staff and very Welcoming. Rooms are excellently presented and Clean. Fantastic Location next to the train station and can get a taxi into the City Center or Marina for 6 Euros

On the final night our flight time the next day was very late but we were able to get extend our room til 6pm for a cost - so worth it as it gave us the full day exploring Malaga and a cool shower at the end

We were very impressed with the efficiency of the staff, cleanliness of the room and the public areas, quality of the food and service at the breakfast

A great way to spend the last few hours before heading back to airport. We will definitely looking up the other Barcelo locations to stay in future too!

Only 20 minutes in a taxi from Airport. Prices at the bar and the City as a whole are very reasonable. Will be returning and booking in at this Hotel

We highly recommend the Barcelo Málaga and look forward to staying there again

Food trays are only replenished once they are completely empty, so if your timing is off, you might find yourself with limited options—such as the last piece of egg that has been sitting out for a while

Apparently, the A/C doesn't work during the winter season, have to open the window which is very inconvenience since it's noisy outside and sometimes rain

However, towels were provided sparingly, almost as if they were being rationed. Perhaps my expectations were too high for a hotel in this category, but I personally would not choose to stay here again

The soap pump dispensers are very annoying since it pumps out very little amount at a time. Found some mold in the shower grout. The hair dryer was gross and looks like it melted at the tip

The windows were also not very high quality and you could hear outside noise as well. On a positive note, the cleaning staff were prompt and did their best given the circumstances

The walls are thin, can hear people next door. Also, don't bother calling the reception because they won't pick up the phone, not surprising since the front desk are not friendly

a new beautifully done beach hotel with spectacular ocean views,,,a knowledgable helpful staff at the desk and on the floors above,,,,an extra arm chair or a large baggage table ??,,, just ask,,,,,a 12 euro cab ride to airport or mid town,,and it doesnt hurt that yur digs are directly across the street from the best seafood beach resturant for 20 miles,,it has 4 pages on google,,plus a half block walk...

Great Location near the sea (just cross the street) The center is arround 4 km away but easy to reach taxis stand is in front the hotel, a ride is aprox. 7 Euros to the Center. Breakfast is very tasty!

Great friendly staff super breakfast have been very kind after our travel problems. Great location by the sea, great views. Bus ride to city centre.

Great place and service, located in a privileged beach area, and also close to a parc infected with mosquitoes. No worries, ask for a mosquito repellent plug-in at the reception desk and all good from there

Nice hotel, great service, beautiful views and good localization next to the beach. Ahh and one thing more... My bed was huuuuge and very comfortable! The biggest I have ever slept in...?

You can spot this in the rooms (especially the bathrooms). On the up side, staff is helpful, breakfast is amazing and it's proximity to the beach make it a good choice for holiday goers

Beautiful hotel, not far from main street near all bars/restaurants. Roof top pool a definite game changer here. Rooms very spacious 👍👌

Warmth greetings since first step into the hotel. Quick device was good and clear information. Al staff super active to help whatever you want. Breakfast is variety and comfy space to sit and start first meal of the day.

*Edit* During our stay it was my Mum’s birthday, the hotel was very kind and left a cake in the room

This was a lovely gesture until it was taken off of us (with only a few bites taken out of it) after it being in the room for less than 12 hours

If staying over your birthday eat your cake very quickly before they take it back

It’s a petty the management wouldn’t put the central air condition on because the room feels warm in the evening when I sleep unless I open the window and most of the time it’s loud outside

I also liked the overall atmosphere of the hotel and wished I had taken some time to relax in the courtyard. There's a roof top with a small pool and some tables and chairs as well

The hotel is very modern,cool and comfortable. It's also in a great location to explore the old town. We loved this place and we would definitely return. We 100% highly recommend this wonderful boutique hotel

The pool area is nice although can get busy with decking sections quite narrow. Staff very friendly and happy to help in every way to make your stay enjoyable

Also, although the windows are new, and there are no late night bars close by, since this part of town is always busy, you'll hear people walking past, restaurant staff putting away or moving around equipment and other sounds (including buses and lorries passing by on the street on the opposite side of the building) pretty much 24/7

However, we booked a room with a balcony that was facing the backstreets and due to it being on the second floor, it was rather dark inside, which wouldn't be too much of an issue were there more lights

There are also lots of nice coffeeshops, brunch spots and bakeries nearby which are great if you do not fancy eating breakfast at the hotel everyday

For a 3 star hotel, fantastic! Big rooms, big balconies with sea views, outdoor pool & hot tub, etc! This hotel is right on the beach 🏖️ & only a 5min to the heart of city centre! We used the hotel bikes to fly around the city going for meals, activities, etc

The pool area is small but it was never an issue if you wanted a sun bed, maybe different in peak season though

Great place! Close to the beach and within walking distance to downtown (there is a bus too). My room was big and had a lovely decoration. In the neighborhood you will find restaurants, supermarket…

The personal is nice, the room was OK, it's nice to be close to the beach, on the other hand, it was also very loud because of the main road in the back

Pool bar is good, as were the mojitos :) Our room was made daily and found the hotel to be generally clean and well kept

The breakfast is really good, the pool area as well, only the fence around for safety looks displaced

The room was lovely and bright and spacious we had a little balcony but there is a lovely roof top terrace with a pool and sun loungers, it also had onsite parking for €15 a day. The staff were super friendly and helpful

A basic hotel. But very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location perfect near to beach and port

Nice and simple hotel, very friendly staff. The hotel pool is minimal but really does the job. We were also allowed to stay at the pool after check out, which was really great.

Nice and helpful personnel. Breakfast worth of money. Rooms quite moderate but clean and nice wiev to sea.

Our experience was just great, just what we ask about a hotel - great location, not too expensive, clean and nice rooms, friendly! Definitely can be recommended - just walk to any place in Malaga!

Basic rooms at a low cost. Clean and well equipped , good shower, including fridge. Desk staff very helpful. Walking distance to many attractions. Parking in parking garage available for 15 EU.

The location was very close to the beach and there were a couple restaurants nearby

The hotel is clean and in a reasonably quiet location a little way out of the main centre. It is close to the beach and to bus routes. Staff are helpful. Rooms are clean and fairly spacious.

Stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip to Southern Spain. Room was clean and had a coffee maker and safe, which was nice. There was a tiny balcony with a couple chairs and a table

Our room had two very comfortable twin beds. The hotel had a very nice lobby, friendly staff and breakfast available for 12 euros, which we didn't try

The staff kindly called a cab for us on our last morning to get us to the airport by 4:00 am for a 6:00 am flight. The only downside was the walls seemed a bit thin, so we could hear noises from other nearby rooms

I wanted something close to the beach and this is a walk away. The lobby and the small terrace at the entrance area are kind of cute, and very comfortable. I don't give it 5 because it doesn't have swimming pool

They were booked up but gave us a room saved for a member of their staff. We cannot say how grateful we were. They saved us from having to spend the night at the bus station

A 4 minute walk from Malaga Train Station. Lobby was very nice. Great room with awesome views and the location is perfect. Near restaurants, shops, modern mall

It is a hotel near train station and maybe 15 minutes to the center. It is renovated in 2017 but I could be renovated again. The rooms have some kind of smell and it has no air

Brilliant location right next to the train station, and close enough to to all tourist spots. Very friendly staff and brilliant value for money. Especially considering the rooms have recently been refurbished.

Hotel is well situated, 5min walking from María Zambrano train station (so in total it took only 15min to get to the hotel from the airport). Our window was facing main street but we didn't hear any noise

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, with a lovely bathroom. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. The staff are amazing and I cannot thank them enough for the kindness they showed us

My family stayed here February 2022 on a B&B basis. The hotel is in a decent location 15 minutes walked to the town centre and close to the beach. Rooms were spot on and the quality of the breakfast was good

Nice hotel with a great location close to the old town and close to the harbour area. Spacy clean rooms and the staff is all very kind and helpful

Breakfast is served at the in-house cafe Julieta that offer a selection of freshly made and tasteful menus

We would return to this hotel if we re-visit Malaga

The electricity got cut off 6 times while I was there, and 3 times of those were in the middle of the night, and along with the electricity cut, the generator was on with super bright light in the room which obviously wakes you up from deep sleep

Rooms super tiny, Shower is almost impossible to get into (if you’re on the heavy side, you definitely won’t be able to access the shower) AC directed at the bed so it was uncomfortable to sleep with the AC on, and too hot when the AC is off

The apartment is perfect to spend a few weeks of rest, everything is very careful and clean, it is close to the beach and there is a Mercadona 1 minute walk, the deal with the client is excellent.

The apartments are great, all very new, equipped to the last detail, 5 minutes from the beach and close to the center of Malaga, I will repeat for sure

The apartment is perfect for a vacation! It is equipped with everything you need, very clean and tidy. We have spent some very pleasant days in Malaga, we will repeat for sure and 100% recommended

Excellent location and wonderful rooftop patio. Close to railway but it doesn't bother - almost can't hear it.

When we came back, it still wasn't ready so we went to the indoor pool which is fantastic, not the cleanest but really enjoyable considering the weather outside

The male reception staff who had taken over by then were really lovely, we went to our room on the 6th floor and sadly the AC/heat didn't work, so after 3 maintenance visits we went downstairs to ask to be moved so we could get our clothes dry

We then went back to reception and the same receptionist told us it would be 1 minute and she would come and get us, so we sat for over an hour while other people were checked in

The 2 men on the reception team were wonderful as were the gym staff, it was just sadly let down by both female staff who were really just very dismissive

We were given an absolutely beautiful room on the top floor as a free upgrade, and were extremely grateful for the gesture

Eventually went back over to be told it was ready and we had just been forgotten (sat directly opposite)

Beach was only 10min from the hotel, easy access with taxis/ubers. People working there are very professional and organized. 5/5 would recommend this place, food was amazing at the pool as well! Everything was fresh

Rooms are older but the beds are very comfortable and the sea view was beautiful. The hotel is right at the centre of Malaga, the best spot to stay at for everyone who wants to make a trip to Malaga and the sights there

Breakfast was from good quality and tasted amazing. Service was fantastic, they thought about everything there and tried their best to make the stay a great experience for us

Excellent hotel location: 5 min walking on the beach through a beautiful promenade

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. The only downside was a small water leak caused by the air conditioning

Even if you can't stay at the hotel, a visit to their rooftop bar and restaurant is a must, the view of the city is outstanding, and the staff there are incredibly relaxed, friendly, and professional

Great hotel and very close to the beach ( 2 minutes). Staff is quite friendly and helpful. The jacuzzi and saunas on the last floor don't work due to pandemic measures.

Fantastic hotel. Friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable with good views. Huge breakfast to choose from. Near to the port, beach. Walking distance to old town

Nice hotel near the malagueta beach and bull arena. Choose the arena view, as the street view is too noisy and close to the windows of the opposite house

Only spent one night. Room was lovely, bed was huge. Everything was clean, staff a very helpful and friendly. Only two lifts with 5 people capacities meant a but of a wait at times.

Great location in the city, friendly staff & atmosphere. Really easy to find & then get yourself about from, well recommended when staying in Málaga

Staff friendly and helpful, room 705 very clean, great shower, wonderful view from balcony. Excellent breakfast too! Location perfect, 2nd visit.

To be a great breakfast you would need: A few more juice choices, pancakes, waffles. Location was nice related to the bus station. Pool was in shadow which was great for really sunny days. walk to SoHo and the old town

Missing showers by the pool/spa area

My wife and I stayed here for a week. The room was very well taken care of. The hotel stay were very helpful and friendly with us. Break was GREAT with a lot of options

We stayed at the Ilunion Hotel in Malaga for two nights. Generally, the hotel was excellent with a fantastic location. It's within walking distance of all major attractions, shops, and the beach

Stayed for the weekend, the adapted room is big and have enough space to manoeuvre with my powerchair. The wheel in show is big and plenty of space to manoeuvre

I have to say the sink should be bigger, at least so you can have space for your toiletries. As a whhelchair user the shower flexible should be flexible not rigid

A very pleasant stay. good service .helpful administrators at the reception . clean room. comfortable bed. great Breakfast.

Good place. It was clean. Good location. Close to everything one might need and want to visit, also close to a train station.

I lost my cow so i couldnt sleep in my house because the atmosphere was so heavy,so i booked this hostel and it was really beautifull hostel and nice service with amazing atmosphere and breakfast :)

Very nice hotel, not far from the city center and port. Everything is new and staff was really friendly. Great view on the terrace and bar wasn't expensive, it's a pity that it's not open every day

I did not like room and it is noisy during the morning

Fine hotel, clean room, modern bathroom, delicious breakfast buffet, quiet environment, very close to the city center and busses. Very friendly personnell. Parking optional.

The hotel is a real surprise considering the number of stars and the price we paid for the night. The room is comfortable, extremely clean, quiet and pleasant

Fantastic location close to the main attractions - Marina, beach, centre, Park, Castle etc. Refurbished old hotel, retaining much of the old, giving it a quaint retro look

It is a good value for money during the peak season for sure and very safe to walk home at night

Very nice rooms. Peaceful at night. Excellent location and close to everything you need. Very friendly staff and impeccable service. Will be back.

The breakfast was excellent, something for everyone, a good selection and everything was delicious. The staff is professional and friendly

The location is in the very center, close to all attractions, close to public transport to the airport
