Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro Hotel

A Wonderful Stay with Breathtaking Views

We had an amazing stay! Parking was easy and convenient. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and peaceful—just what we needed. Having our own balcony with a stunning view over Málaga was a real treat.

We enjoyed relaxing in the bar with delicious food and drinks, and took a lovely walk down to the old town and back. The route is ideal for anyone in reasonably good shape.

On our departure day, we didn’t have time for breakfast, but the staff thoughtfully provided us with picnic bags filled with fruit, freshly made sandwiches, croissants, water, and juice. Such a generous gesture!

We wholeheartedly recommend this place and would love to return.

We went there with 40 friends for dinner. In advance, we had arranged everything with the friendly staff and selected the menu. We were all seated together at one long table. The food was excellent, the wine very good, and the staff extremely friendly. We were able to enjoy an unforgettable evening there.

We had a great meal with excellent service and a fantastic view over Malaga. The staff were so friendly yet extremely professional, they really made the evening for us.

Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special evening.

We love the Paradores we have stayed in whilst in Spain - 5 so far. The Malaga Paradores is excellent with amazing views across to Malaga and the beaches. All rooms have a balcony with aircon. And excellent views from the room. Restaurant was upmarket and great service and food. There is a more casual cafe as you enter the Paradores which we enjoyed as well. We didn’t go into Malaga but we saw people walking down the path and a few brave soles walk back up. We would have got a taxi if were to venture in. There is also a local bus that will take you into town. Recommend staying

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious and clean. Lovely rooftop pool area that could do with a little bit of a refurbishment. Maybe some plants and repairs to pool tiles. Also no drinks service up there. Maybe a cold drink vending machine? We only ate a few times for breakfast which was good but not the best value at 17 euros per head. Would stay again especially if the pool area was improved.

Alberto was great. Ran out of a certain ham. Took his time to take us through alternatives explaining the differences. Spectacular views. What a place to recuperate after that hill climb! Arrived a mess, early for lunch. Staff were welcoming and courteous.

The view is excellent, each room has a small terrace overlooking the sea of ​​Malaga. The breakfast and dinner by reservation are good, and the staff are very friendly.

I recently stayed at the Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
The location is absolutely breathtaking — perched high above the city with panoramic views of Málaga, the port, and the Mediterranean Sea. Waking up to that view every morning was a highlight of my trip.

The hotel itself is charming and full of character, perfectly blending classic style with modern comfort. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained, with a balcony that made the most of the incredible setting.

The staff were warm, professional, and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcome throughout my stay.
Dining at the hotel's restaurant was another memorable experience — the food was delicious, and enjoying dinner on the terrace overlooking the city was simply magical.

If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat with easy access to the heart of Málaga, I can't recommend Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro enough. I can't wait to return!
