What guests think

At Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro, travellers consistently celebrate the hilltop setting with sweeping city-and-sea views and generally friendly staff, while noting the steep walk to town, occasional dated areas, and slow or understaffed service in the cafe or restaurant.

Many highlight the rooftop pool with panoramic terraces and the convenience of free parking. Rooms are widely described as large and comfortable with balconies and standout views, though thin walls or noise are mentioned in a few stays. Breakfast and the restaurant draw many compliments, though menu breadth for vegetarians and consistency can vary. Expect a tranquil, views-first stay above Málaga with easy transit options if you prefer not to climb.

Wonderful parador. Lovely building, very clean, quiet and spacious in a fantastic location. Pool area very special with amazing views. Rooms, which all have balconies, are spacious with great views over the centre of town, castle walls and harbour area. Pleasant staff - reception staff were very helpful. Breakfast a little limited in choice, but more than adequate. Didn’t use restaurant due to lack of vegetarian choice. Bar food was adequate but not overly excitingly- just used on final night to avoid trip into town centre. Located on a steep hill close to centre of Malaga. Steep walk down which can be tricky if wet or dark, however local bus is once an hour and very reliable. Taxi back up is exceptional value (about 8 euros). Would stay here again as it is a fantastic place to stay.

This hotel is situated in a very quiet, area next to the Castillo de Gibralfaro high above the port of Malaga. The views from the property are amazing. There is plenty of free parking if you have a car. The walk down to the city is steep & takes about 1/2 hour to walk but it is doable for those in decent physical shape. The rooms are comfortable and have a nice little sitting area to rest your feet after climbing back up the hill after a day of exploring. Would recommend this hotel if you wanted to stay somewhere a little quieter, away from the hustle of the city centre.

This place was beautiful and the views were amazing! Two beds in the room which was perfect for travelling with my sister. Nice grounds and view points close by outside and from balcony! Restaurant and bar on site which was nice. Breakfast included is a great option when booking. There was free parking which was a bit busy sometimes with all the visitors coming for the view points. Very close to the Castle. Can walk to downtown area in about 20 minutes but was a bit steep of a path.

The Parador has a spectacular view from where it sits on top of the hill overlooking the city. The views from the dining room & front veranda area are gorgeous & the view of the city from our balcony was lovely too. We could walk down the hill from the parador walking past the castle and Alcazaba directly into the center of the old town. I would definitely stay there again. The staff was very helpful and friendly & one of the front desk even arranged snacks for us early in the morning to take on our hike to the Caminito del Rey because we would be missing breakfast. And we really enjoyed the rooftop pool which had an amazing view as well!

A charming hotel overlooking Malaga. Large comfortable room with balcony overlooking the city on the top of Mont Gibralfaro. Good size pool but no pool bar. Hotel has a well regarded restaurant plus a pleasant cafe/bar and terrace. City is reachable on foot but we used the local bus and taxis. I would recommend for a quiet location but not for a lively city break. Large car park if touring.

Hotellet er smukt og har en fantastisk udsigt. Værelserne er smukt indrettet. Dejlig morgenmad. Skøn pool, dog mangler der virkelig en poolbar eller i det mindste en automat med drikkevarer. Eneste mulighed var at gå ned i baren 4 etager nede for at få drikkevarer eller snacks. Der er intet supermarked ved hotellet nær hotellet. Hotellet er meget isoleret, og det er meget stejl at gå ned til byen. Vi havde booket et værelse med to enkeltsenge. Da vi ankom sent om aftenen, blev vi informeret om der var sket en fejl, at de ikke havde et værelse med to enkelsenge, men vi kunne skifte værelse næste morgen, så vi fik det vi havde booket. Næste morgen pakkede vi tingene, og regnede med de ville prioritere at gøre et værelse klar hurtigst muligt, når gæsterne var checket ud kl 12. Det gjorde de dog ikke, vi fik at vide det først var klar kl 14, hvor der normalt er check in. Vi var derfor uden værelse fra 10 - 14, selvom vi jo betalte for vores værelse. Jeg havde glemt mit nattøj på det første værelse. Da jeg opdagede det samme dag og kontaktede receptionen, fik jeg at vide rengøringen havde smidt det ud - selvom jeg jo var flyttet til et andet værelse, og nemt kunne have fået det? På intet tidspunkt fik vi tilbudt kompensation for forkert værelse/at være uden værelse i 4 timer. ikke så meget som en gratis drink i baren. Vi fik ikke engang en undskyldning for deres fejl, vi var meget skuffede over den behandling - især for et fire stjernet hotel.

Our stay at Paradores Málaga was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautifully nestled above the city, offering breathtaking views of the marina and the Mediterranean. From the moment we arrived, everything ran smoothly —check-in was efficient and welcoming, thanks to the outstanding staff at reception who made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with high-quality bedding that made for a restful night. The restaurant and breakfast staff were equally warm and attentive, making each meal a pleasure with their kindness and excellent service. The location is ideal for those who enjoy a bit of a walk — the city center is walkable, though the hike back uphill can be a bit of a workout. But with views this good, it’s well worth it. If you're looking for serenity, scenery, and superb service, this Paradores hotel is the perfect choice.

Le Parador Malaga Gibralfaro est idéalement situé sur une colline permettant d’avoir un superbe décor et une vue magnifique sur Malaga. Par un chemin il ne faut que 20 minutes pour accéder au centre-ville, mais pour remonter mieux vaut avoir une bonne condition sportive. Une remontée en taxi coûte environ 8€. L’hôtel est très propre, les chambres spacieuses et confortables. Les salles de bains sont toutefois un peu vieillottes et nécessiteraient une rénovation. Le personnel est très agréable et accueillant. La quiétude des lieux est un atout indéniable après avoir passé toute une journée au centre ville animé. Autre point positif, il est possible de garer facilement votre voiture. Nous ne regrettons pas notre choix et conseillons cet établissement.

The hotel property is extremely beautiful, without a doubt. And all the rooms face the harbour. You are very high up a winding road, right next to the ruins of a Moorish castle from the 1300's. For this reason alone, it is worth it. Our room was large, spotless, comfy, but not particularly modern or posh. The walls are very thin, so we experienced much noise from families with small children. The service in the cafe, bar area was really slow. I do not think they have enough staff. But the staff on all counts were very professional, personable and as helpful as could be.

This is not a cheap stay, you pay for the location and view and rooms are spacious. However they are quite simple with bare floors and very thin walls so you can hear alot of banging and scraping. The clientele when we were there were older couples so the noise did reduce at night. Also they did accommodate a room change request for this reason, although the second room suffered the same problem. It is just the construction of the building. The breakfast and dinner are good and the service was excellent. However, overall, the value was not great. The location is not great if you want other dining or shopping options.

This is a hotel trading on the views from the property, but it’s tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. This is a 3 star hotel at 5 star prices and when you are paying this price you expect services to work but they don’t. The AC doesn’t work and we needed an electric fan to get some level of cooling in our room. The restaurant staff are surly and avoid any eye contact when you try to get something. This hotel is not worth the money they charge.

The rooms are large and well appointed, ditto bathrooms. Reception staff are particularly welcoming and helpful. We enjoy the pool too. It's really convenient for the castle and alcazaba and a pleasant walk down the pedestrian path to town (take a taxi back up!). We had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant too. Service at the cafe can be brusque to the point of rudeness, but it's a nice place to sit with a cold drink.

Gorgeous views. Food was very good and the staff was very attentive. Room could’ve been appointed better though it was large and comfortable. Well priced.
