Hotel Guadalmedina

The hotel was above my expectations for the price range. Enormous bedroom with a very clean and tidy bathroom. Pleasant decoration, although a little bit dated. More than decent continental breakfast with everything one could wish for. Simple check-in and check-out with very professional staff. The location is quite good if you are arriving or leaving by train - the hotel is literally across the road from an underground railway station where you can catch a train straight to the airport. Also close to Mercado del Carmen where one can buy excellent food.

Location, location as this hotel is a short walk from one train station and a few steps further from the main train station. Some excellent restaurants in the area (we went twice to the same one). The major attractions are just across the river including the cathedral, castles, and even the beach, all walkable. The breakfast buffet was a great way to start our stay. The staff were very helpful. I would stay here again if in Malaga again.

Out townhouse is in Benalmadena. We were going to the evening soccer game (8:30 p.m.), so we decided to stay overnight. The hotel is about 100 yards from the Renfe train station (Fuengirola to Malaga). We arrived at approximately 11:30 a.m. Check in was quick. Our room was not ready; however, as opposed to putting our bags in storage, the receptionist upgraded us to a suite at no charge. The room was outstanding. There was a sitting room with a television, and then a bedroom in a separate section. We had a king size bed which was very comfortable. The bathroom looked brand new, with a huge shower, and two sinks.

Location was great, close both to the centre of Málaga and the train station. Great value for money. The staff was very kind and professional. I could check in at 13.00, the room was ready. As requested, I got a room on a higher floor with a river view, but I could also see the sea an the mountain. (see my photos) There was an electric kettle in the room. Cleaning service was very good.

Great location to the historical downtown. Easy to access the central bus and train stations, close to the airport bus stop. The harbor and two beaches are within walking range. A large shopping center (El Corte Ingles), the Central Market, the shopping street, and historical places are all within comfortable walking distance. The hotel is modern-looking and clean. The crew is kind and helpful. Our room was spacious, and well equipped, with a good bathroom. Each day the room was cleaned well, and all towels were changed. Although the room faced a road, it was nevertheless completely quiet. Besides air conditioning, the windows can be opened wide to get a nice look at the area as well as to get fresh air into the room.
