What guests think

Across many reviews, Carlos V Malaga is praised for its unbeatable old‑town location steps from the Cathedral and Alcazaba, generally friendly, helpful staff, and clean, budget‑friendly rooms that are simple, often small, and suited for short stays.

Common drawbacks include very small or dark rooms with limited views, dated furnishings, occasional noise from inner courtyards or plumbing, and mixed bed and pillow comfort. Facilities are basic for the price point, with some reports of weak or faulty air conditioning and minor maintenance issues; breakfast is available but described as simple and sometimes underwhelming. Expect a no‑frills base that prioritizes convenience and value for exploring Málaga on foot.

The definitely a 1.5 star location. Facilities are very dated, poor sound control, AC struggled. We had technical issues with the lighting. Staff super friendly and helpful. Parking accommodations were convenient and reasonably priced. The best thing about this location is that it is close to all of what Malaga has to offer.

Correcto. En el mismo centro. Habitación silenciosa con nevera y aire acondicionado, imprescindible en Málaga en verano. Parking al lado por 16,50€/día. No es lujoso y necesitaría alguna reforma y modernización, pero todo funciona correctamente y en recepción son muy amables. No hemos desayunado porque no madrugábamos (7,50€/persona).

Parking was a wee bit tricky and driving down the roadway to the hotel was a bit stressful as I am from the states. The staff was super helpful and very nice. Our room was everything we would have hoped for. The breakfast was perfect and light. You are literally in the middle of the city at this hotel....super close to any and everything that you would want to do in Malaga. If we come to Malaga again we will be staying here.

The hotel is located on the Center, right where everything you want to see is. It does not get any better than. This is an old hotel. It is well kept. Unit was nice and clean, not issue there. The hotel provides parking for a fee. This is near the same hotel. It's kind of felt weird because the parking is located right where people are waking around, so it feels that you are doing something wrong driving where you did not suppose, but it is ok. You will not get fine for this. My only complaint is that we order some towels for the room. The front desk lady who works during the night call and said that she will bring this to the room later on because she was the only at the front desk, however, she left, and we never got the towels. We waited until midnight. Nevertheless, I will say, she was very nice and did help us in other things.

Excellent location, close to attractions, amenities and not far from the train station. Daily housekeeping. Very friendly and accommodating reception staff (no problem getting a kettle). Very clean room and although it was right in the old town, it was really quiet. Only downside was the breakfast. Very limited options and ran out of Earl Grey tea on our last 2 days. Disappointed not to have hot options like scrambled eggs. Next time, I’ll book without the breakfast and assess the situation when I arrive as to whether to just pay daily for it or eat elsewhere. I would 100% recommended staying at this hotel.
