What guests think

Holiday Inn Express Málaga Airport by IHG draws consistent praise for its convenient location near the airport, friendly staff, and clean, simple rooms with breakfast included, making it a practical stopover before early flights or after late arrivals.

Recurring drawbacks include no airport shuttle, awkward road access through an industrial area, and the need for a short taxi or bus ride because walking is unsafe. Breakfast is generally well liked (with early offerings), though the dining room can feel crowded and the on-site restaurant gets mixed reviews. Some guests report corridor noise and occasional A/C or power issues. Expect a straightforward, no-frills airport stop.

Perfect for a night close to the airport. Local bus to the airport (A) picks you up 200 ft from the hotel and it's only one stop to the airport. Fair continental breakfast served as early as 4h30. Staff is kind. Restaurant and bar are okay too.

They need an airport shuttle. They are less than 2 km to the airport, its industrial, so not walkable, so they should have a shuttle.

Clean and comfortable hotel close to the AirPort. No shuttle available but we took a BOLT for 6 euros to the AirPort. Nice breakfast buffet but in a very noisy environment, the coffe maker needs to go- noisy and slow! The room was very nice but you could Also hear a lot of noice from the reception all through the night. I Would stay There again but not on the ground floor.

Excellent location, very close to the airport. Despite its proximity to the airport, it was surprisingly quiet. Having a restaurant and bar on site was a definite advantage with not having to search off site for similar. The menu was wide and varied and reasonably priced. Breakfast had a very good, varied selection of food choices and drinks. Overall, a good choice for an early start flight.

The reception and bar staff were great, welcoming, friendly and informative. Our room was basic but immaculately clean and comfortable. The restaurant was canteen-like and the menu limited and quite expensive. We did not have an evening meal but had a basic breakfast next day which was not hot enough. Having said that, this hotel is good for an overnight stay if you have an early flight and a taxi costs about 18-20 euros to get you to the airport. Don't attempt walking, there are no paths and it's quite dangerous with the passing traffic!

This hotel is filthy and extremely noisy. I was forced to change rooms in the middle of the night because guests were throwing a party, and the hotel staff did absolutely nothing to stop it. The breakfast is terrible and not worth it at all. Do yourself a favor and book another hotel – you have to take a taxi from the airport anyway.

Das Zimmer ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, aber es war OK. Das Frühstück war gut und wir konnten für ein paar Stunden kostenfrei parken. Es gibt einen (abenteuerlichen) Fußweg zum Flughafen, den ich nicht mit Gepäck gehen würde (ca. 30min, über Straßen ohne Seitenstreifen), mit dem Uber waren es 25€ zum Airport

The reception staff were truly amazing and very welcoming. Unfortunately, our experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. Our food was served cold, and after informing the server, the plates were taken back to the kitchen and returned still cold. It was a very simple carbonara pasta. We ended up paying over €20 per person for meals we couldn’t even eat. The rooms were decent and the bed was comfortable, which is convenient for travelers needing to stay close to the airport. However, the room was extremely noisy. There was a large gap under the door, allowing hallway light to shine into the room, and we could clearly hear children running and shouting as late as 11:30 p.m. Additionally, the air conditioning was not working, making the room uncomfortably warm.

Das Personal war top, das Zimmer zweckmäßig. Es ist hervorragend gegen die laute Umgebung isoliert, aber die Nachbarn hört man sehr deutlich. Der Frühstücksbereich ist nicht besonders schön, die Auswahl ist akzeptabel. Das Bett ist leider sehr klein (obwohl das Zimmer eine ordentliche Größe hat) und die Matratze ist durchgehend. Dadurch merkt man jede Bewegung seines Partners. Es fährt ein Linienbus (A-Aeropuorto) etwa 2 Minuten vom Hotel entfernt zum Flughafen. Der Bus kommt alle 25-30 Minuten. Auf Maps werden die Busse angezeigt, wenn man die Haltestelle anklickt. Die Fahrtzeit beträgt circa 5 Minuten. 4€ pro Person.

Hotel is conveniently located next to Malaga Airport therefore not a long commute specially if you have an early flight or train to catch! Rooms are in good condition, clean & spacious but our A/C was not cooling enough so in the middle of the Spanish summer didn't help much for a restful sleep!!

Airport bus "A" is the best and cheapest way to get to the hotel. Super easy, just a short walk from the stop to the hotel door. 4,- per person. Breakfast is authentic and really lots of things to choose from. Great coffee . Enough parking lots. Car rental pick ups just across the street. Would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel !

There were many problems with the payment method and the hotel's communication regarding it. For example, the hotel communicated in Spanish even though I asked several times for messages to be sent in English. If rooms cannot be paid for on arrival, do not offer this option and threaten to cancel the reservation if payment is not made immediately via email. No one in their right mind would put their bank card details in an email written in a language they do not understand.

For a budget hotel, this exceeded all expectations. The staff were all welcoming, the food and drink very well priced and served swiftly. Highly recommended as a convenient place to get some rest before or after a flight. Both vehicular and pedestrian access to the hotel is not straightforward but beyond the control of the hotel and not insurmountable so should not detract from the quality of the stay. Many thanks - we will return!

Par ailleurs, À mon arrivee le 21 janvier à l’aéroport en sortant de l’aérogare j’ai pris un taxi en lui disant que j’allais au Holiday Inn, il a fêté devant les autres et a chargé 20 euros pour m’amener chez vous… déception,mais à l’hôtel vraiment satisfaite…un plus serait d’être reconduit à l’aéroport le matin du départ surtout lorsque tôt.

Finding the property while coming in from the motorway we were on was very difficult. Thank goodness for two roundabouts close to each other. We repeated our gps instructions several times and finally stopped to ask a young man if he knew where the hotel was. He was very helpful and we found the "track" that led us to the hotel. Not fun!!

Good hotel for a short layover before taking off. Only 1km away from the airport but the bolts and Ubers are about 16€ so we walked, not the easiest walk (gotta run across a busy roundabout but doable). Room was clean and beds were comfy.

This was an overnight stay as we arrived late into Malaga airport and were leaving relatively early the next day. It was not easy to find in the car as it is down a track (despite being close to the airport). Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable. There were far too many guests for the breakfast room and we had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table.
