The hotel definitely lives up to its four-star rating. While the rooms can get a bit warm, the overall experience was excellent—great location, comfortable amenities, and very welcoming staff. It's a short and convenient commute to the city center, making it an ideal choice for travelers who value comfort and value. I’d happily stay here again.

Stayed for one night and was pleasantly surprised. The room is small but clean and well-organized, with two single beds and one double bed—perfect for four people. There’s a tiny terrace, though no window, which limits ventilation. The neighborhood is nothing special, but since we only stayed overnight, it wasn’t an issue. What stood out was the friendly welcome from Ruben, the owner—he even helped us book a taxi with no hesitation. The bedding was comfortable, the TV worked fine, and the house itself has a charming layout with a shared courtyard on the upper floor that connects all the rooms. It’s a unique and cozy vibe. Plus, its location made catching our early morning flight super convenient. Overall, great value for money and a solid choice if you're just passing through Malaga.

While the immediate neighborhood is quite industrial with limited dining options, I was pleasantly surprised by the modern updates in the room—especially having a refrigerator and a kettle for tea or coffee, which made my stay much more comfortable. Check-in was just a short two-block walk from the room, making it easy to find. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful, providing clear details about bus routes to the city center. I truly appreciated that they allowed me to store my luggage after check-out since I had a late flight from Málaga. Special thanks to Tomás and Sol—your friendly and attentive service made a big difference. Despite the area’s limitations, the hotel’s thoughtful touches and excellent hospitality earned every bit of the 10/10 rating. A great choice for budget-conscious travelers who value convenience and genuine care.

I found this place last minute and decided to book it based on the price and location—it turned out to be a great choice. The studio is compact but extremely functional, with smart space planning that makes it feel much larger than it actually is. Everything I needed was there, and it’s priced incredibly well for what you get. I appreciated how close it was to public transit—just a few minutes to the city center—and the area has plenty of local eateries and convenience stores nearby. It’s perfect for a quick getaway or a solo trip. Definitely would stay here again if visiting Málaga.

Staying at Pensión Barlovento was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the marina and surrounded by charm. The food was exceptional, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that truly stood out. I especially loved their seafood dishes—so well-prepared and full of taste. The staff went above and beyond with warm hospitality, always smiling, attentive, and ready to help without being intrusive. They made us feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the water—perfect for a relaxed meal or sunset drink. It's clear this place cares about guest experience. If you're visiting Malaga’s marina, do yourself a favor and eat here. Highly recommended!

We stayed for 10 nights and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Alvarro was a true highlight—friendly, helpful, and always smiling, making the whole stay feel warm and welcoming. Located just outside the city center, the price is incredibly competitive—nearly half of what you’d pay for a similar hotel in Malaga’s core. That alone makes it a standout choice. The pool is clean, well-maintained, and perfectly warm—ideal for relaxing after a day exploring. Breakfast could use some improvement—it’s basic and not very high quality—but at this rate, it’s easy to overlook. One small downside: bed linen is changed only every 3 to 4 days, which isn’t ideal but still acceptable given the budget-friendly pricing. Overall, the staff were attentive, the rooms were comfortable, and the value for money is excellent. Highly recommend this place for travelers who want a peaceful, affordable stay with great amenities. Would definitely return!

Staying at VAS Malaga Ciudad was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center, with plenty of cafes, grocery stores, and lively bars nearby. My room was clean, cozy, and well-appointed, offering great comfort after a long day exploring. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. I especially appreciated the free parking—super convenient for those arriving by car. We attended a concert nearby, and the hotel even offered great local tips to enhance our experience. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality. I’ve already added it to my travel list for future visits to Málaga—it’s truly a gem.

The entire stay was fantastic! The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with modern amenities that made everything comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety—perfect for starting the day right. Location-wise, it’s very convenient, just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit. The only minor issue was that Wi-Fi signal didn’t fully reach my room, so I occasionally had to step into the hallway to get a stronger connection. But honestly, that’s a tiny drawback compared to how much I enjoyed the rest of the experience. Excellent value, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere make this place a top choice. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Malaga.

I regret staying here—I truly do. The entire experience was disappointing. From the moment I arrived, the staff member who greeted me was extremely unprofessional and even attempted to steal my money. After that, they ignored all my messages completely. The building itself is not clean—basic supplies are dusty, and there’s no visible housekeeping staff. It’s hard to believe such a place exists in this city. Avoid it at all costs. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay in Málaga, this is definitely not the right choice. The location isn’t bad—close to public transit—but everything else about this property is a red flag.

The stay here was absolutely fantastic! The key access is incredibly convenient—enter and exit whenever you like, no restrictions. The room was cozy, quiet, and well-equipped with air conditioning and a TV. I loved the independence and comfort. It’s such a peaceful retreat in the heart of Málaga, perfect for exploring the city at your own pace. Highly recommend this place—great value and an excellent experience overall!

Staying at this property was an absolute delight! Its proximity to the airport is unbeatable—just a short ride away, making check-in and check-out incredibly convenient. The neighborhood feels safe and vibrant, with a strong student presence that gives it a lively yet peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches. I especially appreciated the quiet surroundings and the convenience of nearby cafes and a small grocery store right on-site. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is within easy reach. With excellent value, top-notch cleanliness, and a great location, this place truly delivers on every front. I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Málaga.

I rarely write reviews, but this hotel truly deserves recognition. I visited Malaga with my 6-year-old for a quick getaway, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The hotel is immaculately clean, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast options were fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced—my kid loved every bite. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Special shoutout to Jorg at reception—he was warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk from the city center, easy access to public transport, and close to major attractions. With such great service, comfort, and value, we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend this gem for families or solo travelers wanting a stress-free stay in Malaga.
