"Awesome hotel. Felt luxurious- excellent AC, very clean, premiere bedding, super friendly staff and great location. We stayed in the apartment- loved my coffee on the balcony overlooking the square in the morning. We were here during the Malaga fair so you can definitely hear the music and partying in the streets. We loved being able to go to our cool apartment and rest for a bit during the festivities and then head out again. Great experience- highly recommend. Would stay again."

"Beautiful boutique hotel with a stunning cobbled courtyard situated in the heart of old town Malaga. The location is perfect for exploring the many shops, bars and restaurants on offer. The hotel itself has been thoughtfully renovated and is furnished with attention to detail everywhere! The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Our room was compact but bright and well maintained. The plunge pool is pleasant but there are very few sun loungers owing the small rooftop space. A highly recommended hotel for couples and families alike. We look forward to another stay at this stylish, and welcoming hotel!"
