About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro

Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

Although the hotel is not the newest, it is truly amazing for the price. The lady in the reception is nice and kind, and the room is clean and most importantly quiet. The location is awesome. Only the breakfast could be better… But just get the room without breakfast and go somewhere else.

Value for money this is not!You are paying for being in the historic district of Malaga. It is a great location but the price is very high for what you get. The hotel is old and dated. Dark rooms and noisy air conditioning. On the positive side the room was quiet, clean and the bathroom was spacious.
We booked the hotel as they said they have storage for our bikes since we are bike touring. On arrival it seemed to be a problem but in the end there was a tiny space available.

This is an underrated hotel situated right in the city centre. Everything is just a 5min walk and there are plenty of restaurants around. The hotel room was average size but very clean. The bathroom was spotless. The service was amazing and they offer a reasonable priced good breakfast. The staff including receptionist and from the dining area were very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

Basic hotel but spotlessly clean. Comfy bed and pillows. Good sized bathroom, again spotless.

Plenty of storage for clothing.
Only downside is no safe in room.

Friendly staff on reception and in breakfast room.

Basic buffet breakfast, cold meats, cheese, etc

Superb location, 2 mins from the cathedral and alcazbar. Despite its location it is extremely quiet.

A very nice hotel in lovely surroundings (Centro Histórico). Stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. The staff is polite and helpful, rooms are clean and you are able to park in a garage close to the hotel for just 12 euros a night. Just drive up to the hotel entrance and get the key.
