Walking distance to Malaga Cathedral, the Picasso Museum and Alcazaba.

We were on the eighth floor on the opposite side to the bullring, we could see the sea, marina, castle and alcazaba, beautifully lit up at night.

location is very good, nearby city centre and the beach;
all of the touristic sights are on walking distance;
hotel itself is very good also; very good rooms, house keeping, breakfast, reception, all of them;
roof terrace excellent, beautiful view of Alcazaba and Gibralfaro and city and harbour;

The views are superb back towards the port and the over towards the floodlit Alcazaba.

Some rooms give views of the Alcazaba and the Castillo, which look brilliant lit up at night.

We had a high floor end of corridor room with a balcony overlooking the port, Alcazaba and town.

We opted for the side with views to the port and, from the balcony, lovely views of the Alcazaba.

but well equipped gym with adjourning sauna and jacuzzi leading onto a terrace with great views of Port, Alcazaba and even the local Bullring ( which it overlooks). 3.

Great little hotel with friendly professional staff in a good position for marina and beach with short walk to city and Alcazaba.

Room on the 4th floor had a small balcony and offered nice views of the Alcazaba.

So much to do and see, we visited Alcazaba and Castillo Gilbrafaro, these are great.

This hotel is a short walk to La Playa, the Harbor, the Alcazaba, and the Cathedral & Picasso Museum.

The room was surprisingly spacious with a balcony overlooking the Alcazaba.

Just returned from a week in this hotel we moved front a room on the 7th floor to room 1106 view was spectacular over the marina and alcazaba very clean room and great staff breakfast was great and the location was perfect for the beach town and marina.

We had a stunning room on the 8th floor with views over the bull ring the beach and across to the Alcazaba.

Lovely welcome and a great room with views over the harbour and the alcazaba.

We were on 6 th floor looking at The Alcazaba and the Bull Ring.

Our view over the bullring and Alcazaba was lovely and  there was no traffic noise at all.

We were given room 1106 which was a corner site overlooking the marina with great views of the Alcazaba.

We had a great corner room on the 11th floor with absolutey stunning panoramic views across the marina,  gardens towards old town and alcazaba and gibalfaro (with a balcony to enjoy this).

We had dinner in nearby Delfines (fish) and Pala D'Oro (Italian) as well as eating in town - nice stroll in.

We would give 5 Stars if the Hotel had better Elevator system.

but effective lifts

What we didn’t like
- Bathroom ventilation was not great
- No slippers
- No house coat
- No bathroom accessories
- Massage was not great 
- Small room
- Not proper double bed

What we think can have improved
- Dusty room
- Breakfast was average
- Expensive

Will we revisit this place? Yes

A slightly dated infrastructure (tiny and very slow lifts) did not detract from a great stay.

We took the lift to our room on the 8th floor - lifts are small

but has relatively small rooms, a very cramped reception and small, slow lifts.

but we wouldn't,   just have it included in your price here and sit in the lovely dining room over looking the busy junction and marina , Wi Fi in room is first class , 2 lifts pretty quick in my opinion, Air con in room superb, Needs to have English TV main channels  BBC1, ITV, Channel 4  for the next time we come , not just bbc world news (hotel manager please) but as a final say  well done MS Maestranza team keep up the hard work you do,   we will be back .

Reception is small, with disabled access and two extremely small, slow lifts.

We were on the 12th floor, 2 small lifts which were  very slow.

The lifts are small and can be very busy in the morning time.

There are two lifts which can get very busy for

though is the lifts up and down are essentials otherwise it'd be a long walk!!

It was difficult to access the breakfast area as it was one floor up from reception and didn't have a lift.

- lovely bathroom 

-good lifts to the rooms (two small lifts)

Negatives:

-our bed didn't have a duvet.

The hotel has two very small lifts; only big enough for two people and their luggage each, and I found them quite claustrophobic.

Great  location, near the beach and the marina.

Opposite the marina and old town it's in a great position for all the shops and restaurants

Lovely hotel, lovely staff, and great location for beach,marina,and the city.

Lovely hotel, ideally situated next to the marina and a couple of minutes walk from the town centre.

Fabulous hotel, close to the Playa de la Malagueta, the marina with its many gorgeous eateries & shops.

So close for the old town, the marina and the beach.

Perfect location, 5 minutes to the marina and port, and 15 into old town.

Nice rooms always clean friendly staff hotel perfectly placed for beach cafes restaurants and the marina and the bus for the airport is just a 5 min walk away across the road I visit at least 3/4 times a yr

The hotel is in the best location to enjoy Malaga , 2 mins from malagueta beach, 2 mins from the bars and shops on the marina and only a 10 min walk to the main centre with shops ,bars ,cathedral etc .

Hotel in great location for the Christmas lights, stalls and resteraunts down the marina.

There are other useful bus stops all along the Paseo del Parque.

The marina is close by, again with lots of restaurants and bars.

We enjoyed a four day stay the hotel was in the perfect location at the marina and beach area just a ten minute walk to the lovely old town with lots of good bars  and restaurants.

The second time we have stayed here, great hotel in a fantastic location for the beach, marina and centre.

From the balcony you could see the marina, the park, the cathedral and the castle.

We had a lovely room, high up, overlooking the Marina on one side.

Location was perfection - just steps away from a delightful park, the harbor, a vibrant harbor front, the beach, a bus stop.

The hotel is located close to the harbor.

It is close to Playa de Malagueta which stretches quite a distance from the city.

This hotel was a short distance from Playa Malagueta.

This hotel is ideally located between La Playa Malagueta/Marina and the Alcazaba/Cathedral de Malaga/Castle Gibralfaro, as well as numerous restaurants and shopping in the old city.

Also enjoyed a paella in one of the chiringuitos on the beach Playa Malagueta.

Lovely hotel in a great location next to the port and bull ring.

We had brilliant views over castle and port.

Lovely Hotel perfect position looking out to the Port with the Bull ring to the rear.

The location was perfect for us to explore everything that Malaga has to offer and being near the port was perfect with local bars and restaurants

Lovely hotel with the best views in Malaga , with views to the castle and port.

Excellent location for the beach,  port and restaurants.

Stayed for six nights in a 9th floor room with fabulous views over the port and inland.

Loved our stay and close to the port, beach and the city.

The roof top terrace and jacuzzi had breathtaking views of the port and city.

I was on the top floor (12th) with a huge balcony facing the Port -

This hotel is situated right next to the bullring in Malaga, it is a 5 minute walk from the port bars and restaurants, and.

This hotel is ideally located for the beach, the port and the short walk to the town centre through a botanical garden.

Hotel was great location turn left and 100 yards to the beach straight across the road to developed port with plenty of restaurants and shops and turn right to walk along the concrete canopy or through the tree lined gardens to reach the town centre.

The views from the upper floors are unforgettable (town, port, tree-lined avenues, fountain, fortresses).

Great location- near beach, port and city itself.

Hotel in perfect location for everything the beach, restaurants, port, shops, castle, walks.

Located on the port
with many restaurants nearby.

although there was noise from the traffic we could not hear anything at night.

Booked a superior room which didn’t disappoint, overlooking the bullring and a great view of the castle, (room 901) To say the hotel is surrounded by busy roads we had minimal noise, maybe due to the position of the room.

For a light sleeper the rooms facing the bull arena would be better, we weren't bothered too much by the noise from the street.

The only issue that might affect your choice of room would be the traffic noise from the main road that goes along one side of the hotel.

The air conditioning is quite old and noisy - an upgrade to all rooms is much needed.

Note this hotel is in a busy area with some traffic noise, reduced by the double glazing.

We had a room on the back of the hotel the 11th floor (overlooking the bull rink) as I had heard that the front of the hotel could be noisy with traffic.

Our room was overlooking the street and was very noisy when the balcony doors were open - I would recommend asking for a room overlooking the bull ring.

We flew with Jet 2 and choose not to get a transfer as the cost would have been an extra 61 euros

but be prepared for a bit of street noise.

We had a room on floor 8 overlooking the front - not too noisy at all

Unfortunately the buffet was unappealing and we had hygiene concerns as there were children running around the area coughing, so we went out instead.

Guests in the hotel were from a range of European countries which we like so be prepared to hear plenty of European languages being spoken.

If we had the windows open it was very noisy,

Housekeeping always asked about my husband and gave me sufficient coffee and tea for my room.

Room was very well soundproofed as it was near very busy roads

Room was very nicely finished and the bed was very comfy.

My room was very comfortable and the breakfast was superb 👌

There is a lovely bar/ restaurant with good service in the hote.There  is also a spa/beauty rooms & gym.

Wonderful views from whichever room you have,

They always try to fulfil our requests particularly in regard to our favourite room!

We loved the view from our room, wonderfully clean with fabulous staff.

The hotel was amazing from Reception to the staff in the breakfast room,  which every option for breakfast you could think about to the main restaurant where the staff and menus were excellent.

A ten minute stroll through beautiful gardens to the centre , Cathedral and old town and just a 5 minute walk to the beach.Hotel staff are super friendly and rooms clean , comfortable and up to date .breakfast excellent and lots of choice constantly being     Refreshed.

A really comfortable king size bed and superb views from the balcony of our room on the tenth floor.

About a 10 minute walk into Málaga centre which is lovely.

Short walk to historic attractions and the Mediterranian Sea.

Metro service 15 minutes walk, which we used to get to sports venue for Davis Cup tennis.

Wonderful hotel,  next to the bullring and a short walk away from the beach.

but there's a 15 min walk from the nearest station to the hotel.

10 minute walk to beach, 15 minutes through the gardens into the old town, cathedral area.

A lovely stay just a short walk from Malaga centre, which we found to be a perfect location for us.

It is in a great location for transport, restaurants and only a 10 minute walk to the old town.

The hotel is a few minutes walk from the bus stop.

Our room was very roomy on 12th floor overlooking bullring, great a/c .you can walk to anywhere from this hotel, even to the beach in your costume, beach 14 euro  for2 beds plus shade.

Good location, easy to walk to all the main sights.

Location is great for both the beach, muelle uno and less than 10 minute walk to city centre.

Near to port and only 10 mins walk to city centre.

Location great for beach and walking into town.

This hotel is close to the bull ring and yet still close to Malaga center, a gentle walk through Paseo del Parque with its beautiful trees.

Easy walking access for Malaga centre and coast.

The Cathedral looks lovely at night.The port is great to walk  around while the resturants are very expensive during the summer months I noticed that they now have special offers which make it more reasonable to eat seafood there.Staying in Los Delfines the bus service is easy to use and frequent,

Another warm welcome from manager Jeizo Alles and her great friendly hard working team.

Our stay was all that we hoped for,from the smiley welcome with complimentary local gin on our arrival,to the calm vibe throughout the hotel.Staff friendly  and helpful especially Melanie and Roxana on reception,nothing too much trouble

The hotel staff are so friendly and happy to help with any aspect of your stay 
Food and drinks at the snack bar 'Sa Galera' are top notch and the buffet breakfast has something for everyone.

All the staff are very helpful and friendly, Jose in the bar also very friendly.

The standard of cleanliness is first class, the staff are friendly

It was brilliant seeing everywhere wheelchair friendly.

Towels changed daily if you wish and bedding every couple of days 

Very helpful and friendly staff.

as ever all of the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive .

The only beach close to the city is Gran Playa (despite name, quite small), at the end of the sea inlet.

The pool area is well maintained and there are usually plenty of loungers.

Lovely pool area to relax with comfortable loungers.

Great reception team,great bar,team,great cleaning team and great kitchen/ waiting staff 😁😁👍👍 swimming pool area was absolutely lovely and the indoor pool and facilities wonderful aswell.

All areas of the hotel were sparklingly clean,the pool area was busy

Pool area lovely, always a sun bed available and plenty umbrella's (hotel does not allow people to reserve beds which is great) area was very quiet

Pool area has lots of different types of loungers plenty for the amount of guests.

Lovely chilled out pool area and great bar and restaurant.

The pool area is a good size and plenty of beds.

The pool area is sized appropriately for the hotel

You can either enjoy the lovely relaxing pool area or take a walk to the city.

Pool area has new Cabana beds/deck chairs/sunbeds and lots of parasols so every choice available.

13th time in staying at this hotel-excellent as usual and recent refurbishments of bedrooms, bar, terrace and pool area have greatly improved this hotel.

The pool area is quite compact, plenty of sunloungers and is a suntrap, with lots of parasols.

The pool area is very relaxing, there is no music, pool bar, animation team etc, it is all about pure chill out and relaxation.

The pool area is great  we never had a problem getting a bed, even tho the hotel was busy.

The pool area was in the middle of the hotel as in a quad so you had concrete building all round.

Our balcony opened straight on to the pool area with loungers right at your doorstep.

This is a poor reflection on the hotel management in our opinion.

I suspect the poor chefs perform minor miracles every day with limited resources and on a limited budget.

but dinner variable, some nights very good some nights poor.

Although we had a poor first impression here things improved.

There are places in the lower hallways where there is a damp fausty smell, caused by poor or non-existent air con.

this hotel is ready for a major refurb or pulling down it is situated in a poor industrial estate it is agood job it is in walking distance of some kind of life other wise you would feel like throwing your self under one of the many motor bikes that use the bar at the back of the hotel as there meeting point , this hotel is dropping to bits bathrooms are adisgrace bedroom floors have years of grime embedded in them and make you want to keep your foot ware on at all times, sunbathing is a case of watch the decking as most of it is loose and broken .

but ladies hangers poor for skirts so take a couple of this is important.

In our opinion the buffet at both breakfast and the one and only time we ate in the evening was of a very poor standard with the food held at a lower than required standard.

The one fault was the very poor free internet signal in our room.

even though we paid a little extra for this luxury it was nothing compared to the price you would pay in the UK and this was a great retreat when the weather was poor.

Rooms quite small and  many balconies have poor outlook

I really don't want this to be a poor reflection on the hotel itself, as their is nothing to criticise it for.

If a balcony is important for your R&R then this has to be selected carefully as some have poor views or are not private.

Having read some of the other reviews I find it hard to understand how anyone could say that the evening buffet was poor etc.

Construction quality is so poor that you can hear everything in the corridors and other rooms

Wont go back

The television in the room was tiny and there was a very poor selection of English speaking channels, only two.

Our room was small the bed was like a board and the the furnishings were poor.

My wife is a poor flier, this after a dodgy emergency landing experience with Ryanair !

Great breakfast and dinner in the buffet restaurant.

I know the restaurant is due to have a refurbishment as well
