The hotel and staff are excellent!! My issue was not the hotel but its location. It’s a 20 minute walk to the city center. Also the local Malaga beach , that is man made, is sad looking ! The beach has work cranes in the backdrop and there’s a left over industrial chimney left over from the industrial days in the area. The buildings by the beach are boarded up and / or abandon. It’s not welcoming at all and I definitely wouldn’t be there after dark , but that’s just me. The hotel and staff are amazing !! The rooftop pool area , stunning !!! It’s just the location. Lastly there is a rail station that is right next door and is actually connected to the hotel by a corridor, good or bad depending on your view,
