What guests think

At Alcazaba Premium Hotel, travelers praise the unbeatable old‑town location by the Roman Theatre and Alcazaba, friendly staff, and a popular rooftop with sweeping views, while repeatedly noting lively late‑night noise from the street and venues above.

Rooms range from compact to spacious, some with balconies or castle views, but amenities can be basic and air‑conditioning issues appear in multiple reviews. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few guests encountered odors, worn finishes, or minor maintenance problems. Breakfast and the rooftop restaurant draw praise for the views and cocktails, but the à la carte offering feels limited and service can be slow. Expect a vibrant, central stay with occasional noise and trade‑offs in comfort.

Facilities

The standout feature is the rooftop bar/terraces with impressive Alcazaba views; they are open to the public and can get crowded, affecting lift waits. Discounted parking at a nearby garage is handy, but on‑site facilities and lobby space are minimal.

Great location walking distance to sights of interest. Clean room. Lovely roof top bar great views, drinks were expensive open to the general public so does get over crowded. We stayed 2 nights had a few housekeeping issues, no lifts working one night, so we had to walk up to the 3rd floor, no water at all for hours, luckily we could have a shower the next day and no power at all in our rooms only emergency lights, unable to charge phones etc, it was ok given that we had been out all day, to be honest i was starting to get nervous staying at this hotel with all the maintenance issues. On check in it would have been nice for the reception staff to be a little more welcoming and offer tips of the area etc..we still had a lovely time in the area as was a great location.

The room was large and fit all four of us. This hotel is right in the center of action in Malaga, behind the Alcazaba so it’s loud in the night. You have to close all the windows if you want to sleep. There is a cool rooftop bar upstairs which fills up fast. Breakfast was extra but well worth the view and the excellent service. Great location and very accessible, but it was a bit loud in the night.

While the location was excellent and within walking distance of everything Malaga has to offer, it was noisy on an evening, especially over the weekend. Rooftop bar was really lovely and staff friendly. Parking very easy and accessible.

The room was stunning, really clean, comfortable bed and very quiet despite being central The location was spot on car park a short walk and all attractions in close distance. The roof bar was fabulous and again the staff were excellent there as were the cocktails Cant wait to go back there

The roof top bar is popular & enjoyed by many guests other than those staying at the hotel .. hard to find a seat & the crowd leaving late at night is noisy. The location of the hotel is convenient & although on a pedestrian only street, there is noise most the night. Not a place to stay for a good night’s sleep.

To start with the postives the check in was great . The breakfast server was great . The hotel is in a good location very near to everything. We had a 'junior suite " with a city view. The view looked out onto a building site and main road . The room was very cold we asked staff if they could do anything about it to which we were told no as the maintenance person would not be there until the next day . The walls in the room were all marked and really needed decorating. The furnishings looked like they had seem better days .The room was advertised as having a mini bar which in fact was a empty fridge apart from some unidentified possibly food matter that had been left behind ( photo below). When we told the reception staff they told us not to touch it ...we had no intention of !. Having stayed in other hotels in Malaga this hotel was a poor standard in comparison.

The good thing about hotel is central location. But there is no car access, parking nearby is usually full, no space even to park your car for few minutes, so you need to carry your luggage 200 meters or more. Hotel is located on the very loud street with restaurants, so it impossible to sleep at night. There is a rooftop restaurant in the same building and I didn't feel safe, when visitors were walking right behind my room in the evening and night (there is no separate access there). Security measures are poor. There is no kettle, no mini fridge, no glasses in the room. Only soap in the bathroom, nothing else. No daily cleaning. This hotel is not worth money at all.

This hotel has a stunning rooftop terrace with a magnificent view and delicious cocktails. The staff were ind and attentive. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. The downside is the noise. The room (13) was at the front of the building and faced onto the street. There were numerous bars and restaurants and people having a fun night out. With no soundproofing in the room , this lead to a lack of sleep and this alone is why I give such a poor rating. Visit the terrace,enjoy the views and drinks ,but consider somewhere else to rest.

I’m not sure why this property is rated 4 stars on Expedia, it should be more like 2 stars. The only good thing is the location. The room we rented was queen bed and pull out sofa bed, when the sofa bed was pulled out there’s literally no space to walk from the queen bed to the washroom, you have to step over the sofa bed

The hotel is very well located, and the room is clean with a comfortable bed. The staff are very friendly and provided good recommendations for restaurants. However, the room was less spacious than I expected and extremely exposed to noise. I could hear almost everything from the neighboring room. In addition, my room was on the third floor, directly under the bar, and I could hear chairs and tables being dragged around throughout the night and again early in the morning during cleaning.

This hotel is in an amazingly convenient area in the city. If you don’t have a car it is walkable, if you have a car the parking is right next door. We lived the room, it had high ceilings, great beds and clean modern room. We were initially concerned about noise since it was literally middle of the city but the windows are insulated very well so did not hear anything. Excellent hotel that I recommend anyone visiting Malaga and want to stay in the city.

What an awful and unprofessional experience. I booked last min and based on a high rating. We arrived at the hotel, went through the check in process only to be told AFTER that there was no AC and hadn’t been for days. It should have been disclosed when the res was made same day. The answer was not return $ it was move to a sister property which we had to walk with luggage through the city center to get to - more than the 10 min walk we were told. Only to enter a hot room with a barely working AC in the middle of the heat wave. We were told because it was a big room the AC was worse. I asked for two rooms and was time to walk around for 30-45 more min to see if it improved. This was at 11:30 at night. Upon return I was accompanied up to see if it was working. It was BARELY working. As I type this it’s 12:45am and I’m sweating in bed. Horrid. Lack of communication and disclosure. No action to make this better, downright refusal to fix with a second available room for one night. Absolutely would NOT recommend. Ever. Either property.

The hotel was in a great position for the Alcazaba and within easy reach of the cathedral and Picasso museum. Sadly the disabled access was a joke. An electric ramp that was only accessible if reception was manned (which it wasn't at lunch time for 2 hrs nor late at night so joining in celebration for the new year was out of the question. Had problems getting onto the ramp as first receptionist said to enter and turn at 90 degree angle on a platform that wasn't big enough to turn. Disabled access is available on rooftop bar in theory but again failed as blocked by furniture at both levels. These things happen, so you just need to ask reception for help like any other hotel issues. Then the reality hit - disability is just an inconvenience and your needs to enjoy your stay are irrelevant. Inc 2 days breakfast we paid approx £700 for 4 night to have very little freedom of movement. Pretty sad really as it advertised as wheelchair accessible and I checked and it was confirmed by Hotel it is accessible but in practice it's not easy nor were staff helpful.

This hotel is right in the middle of all the action. Tons of shops, restaurants, activities as soon as you walk out the door. The rooftop bar gives you beautiful views of the city and the historic Alcazaba; it gets crowded but it's got a fair amount of space and people seen to come and go regularly. It was a bit challenging to find, a small door squeezed in between 2 sidewalks restaurants, no real lobby, didn't feel like a hotel coming into it. The room was comfortable, good sized, airy and fun having the little terrace over the street. If you're looking for quiet relaxing, this is probably not the place. The nightlife is raucous and even with doors all closed noise still gets in. It's busy all day into the night and a pretty crowded area - if that's what your looking for, this is the place.
