This is a city centre two star hotel, with excellent links to the bus and metro services, which are within 5/10 minutes walking distance. It is clean, tidy, well-kept and maintained, with above average wardrobe / cupboard space. The staff were excellent, from front of house to the house-keeping team. They were always available to help, order taxis, advice on locations to visit (and times to avoid crowds), plus accomodating when cleaning the room for my odd sleeping patterns (siestas are so needed, when you wind-down) I stay in many hotels, normally 4 star plus and this has been a better experience than some of those. Unusually quiet both day and night - not like a Monastery, but no loud lift noises and bar patrons ! Go with an open mind and enjoy Malaga Centro. And for those keyboard warriors who complain without addressing an issue at the time, then it wasn't a real issue, was it ! Would I stay again? Yes.
