J'ai réservé par Expédia parce qu'il y a un moteur de recherche qui permet de réserver uniquement un hôtel organisant des transports à l'aéroport. L'Hotel Elcano est listé sur Expédia comme organisant des transports à l'aéroport. Il s'agit d'un mensonge. J'ai été très déçue: l'hôtel est loin de la ville de Malaga, dans la direction opposée à l'aéroport. Les frais de taxis ont été prohibitifs pour me rendre à l'hôtel à partir de la gare, puis à l'aéroport. Une très mauvaises expérience. Je ne crois plus faire affaire avec Expédia à l'avenir à cause de la fausse représentation.

The listing said they had an airport shuttle. When I contacted them to arrange this, they said to take a taxi. Since they’re on the other side of town, the taxi was expensive- both ways.

This hotel is close to a area with lots of restaurants and a walk to the beach only took 5 min. The busstop is 20 meters away. If you wan't to shop for groceries it takes 7 min to find a bigger shop, both east and west of the hotel. Only bad thing I could think of is that you hear a lot from the other rooms, noise. But other than that it's good.
