Hotel Guadalmedina

The location was just right for our purposes- close enough to the centre but not right in it, so pleasantly quiet, and the railway station in the next street ran trains every twenty minutes to the airport. (Tickets a couple of quid each.) Room spacious with a huge comfortable bed; both the room and the bathroom were very clean, plenty of hot water and air-con worked well (by no means a given). Staff charming and helpful (we speak a little Spanish but their English was much better, though they were fine about us having a try). Breakfast excellent. We’d happily stay there again.

The hotel fully deserves its 4 stars. The room is large, clean and equipped with a fridge. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, from which you can get to all the attractions of Malaga. There is also a metro station that takes you straight to the airport (4 stops). On foot, you can reach the Cathedral, Roman Theatre, Alcazaba and Mercado de Atarazanas in a few minutes. Breakfasts with a large selection and high quality products. The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the train station. Professional staff, always willing to help.

This is the second time we’ve stayed there as location is ideal. 15 mins walk to the old town & 15 mins walk in other direction to main railway station. If coming from the airport take the train to Malaga Centro Alameda & hotel is less than 5 mins walk away (not quite sure why they don’t advertise this). Good tapas bar nearby recommended by the helpful receptionist.

Staff were very nice and speaking good English. Room was very specious, bed comfortable, and hotel is in the city center, next to the train station which makes it easy to reach from airport. The main promenade and city center is 5 min walk from the hotel, many restaurants and bars nearby, as well as good connection with local trains which makes it easier to visit other cities in Andalusia.

The location of the hotel is great if you are traveling from the airport. It’s a short journey on the C-1 line and the last stop on the line is just behind the hotel. The hotel is also really convenient for exploring the centre of Malaga. Everything is within walking distance. We arrived early at the hotel and were delighted to find that our room was ready for check-in. The team at reception were all very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and was nice and comfortable. We ate breakfast at the hotel and were really pleased with the options that were available.
