Atenea Malaga Apartments

Lindo apartamento, acogedor, muy limpio, céntrico

Angel, the apartment manager was wonderful. Very prompt and accommodating. Spacious and nice apartment. Would have been better if it had been furnished with nicer furniture. Also, the description was specific in indicating that there was an espresso maker, but it was only a drip coffee maker and we had to purchase our own espresso maker

Lovely clean small apartment- same cute style as advertised but not the same layout. Location was excellent. Seemed well equipped but we ate out so didnt use the kitchen equipment. However, on the negative side we were given the apartment on the ground floor right next to the front door with a bedroom window that looked out on to the inner hallway. This meant it was noisy at night with the front door banging and hearing chatting from other guests. The bedroom window could do with bricking up as it's unusable (for both privacy and to block noise). Also the mattress and pillows were very hard so all in all we didnt sleep well.

Unfortunately the property did not reflect any of the pictures on listing, especially the bathroom - this was an accessible bathroom without a shower box/glass door or curtain so water flooded half of the bathroom (the WC was right next to it). I was not made aware of this feature before or after booking the property on Expedia; the host failed to communicate this when getting in touch with me to share check in instructions ahead of the trip. Had I known the bathroom didn't have a proper shower box, I would have not booked it so I felt blindsided. I asked Expedia to relocate me but they failed to do so and as a solo female traveller I had no choice but to stay there. The host didn't even offer an apology or proactively tried to move me to another apartment or make up for it. There was also a strong smell of damp/mould which didn't go away despite opening windows in the morning. I could see some patches of damp behind the sofa so that might be it! However, as a honest person I would like to acknowledge some positives (as there were a few for sure). 1. the studio (yes, mine was a studio and not an apartment with a separate bedroom) was clean and tidy with modern decor 2. the location was great, super close to everything with cafes and restaurants nearby 3. there is a free locker where you can leave your belogings after checkout 4. the assistant on Whatsapp was responsive and on hand for any questions throughout my stay.

Apartment is well located in the historic centre of Málaga. Check in process is easy, kitchen is well stocked and apartment is beautifully furnished. The apartment could do with some paint touch ups as we noticed some scuffs on the walls and whilst the apartment was clean overall, some skirting boards were dusty. A small amenity package is provided although larger bottles as opposed to miniatures, particularly for stays more than 1 night would be welcomed.

Great location

Very clean, great location in the heart of the city. Would thoroughly recommend

Location was amazing, but room was quiet in the evening. Lovely welcoming host Angel.

Great location, lots of restaurants within walking distance. Communication was smooth, staff super friendly. The apartment is very clean and we were amazed by the size of the property. Great value and highly recommend.

Close to everything, restaurants, shops, groceries and attractions. Very comfortable, including the bed and sitting room, everything needed to cook a meal was there. The only problem was that the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned well enough, hairs in the shower tray and on the floor, we cleaned it ourselves. Overall we had a pleasant stay, and would return

Clean apartment with character

Early check in, super friendly, nice location just outside main center. Beautiful room/apartment, wish I had a longer stay in Malaga. We were able to prearrange taxi the night before through the front desk staff and it came early which was perfect!

The room had been well cleaned.

Angel the staff member was great! We loved the decor and vibe. Great value for money and right in the heart of the old town. Only downside is we would have appreciated a change of towels halfway through the week. We would go back to these apartments ☺️

Lovely clean modern room with great amenities. Fabulous location in central Malaga.

Perfectly located apartment with a nice decor inside. Clean and tidy. I still rate it excellent but few things I would improve- encourage your guests to do recycling by providing bins that make it easy. One tiny set of toiletries for 3 persons for 3 nights is not enough - think about providing refill big bottles instead. Sleeping in a salon can be disrupted by guests from other apartments coming back late, light is switching on automatically in the corridor. The salon has a connecting window to the corridor and it has no curtain what means that you are frequently woken up in the middle of the night. Providing additional blanket in January would be welcome, some nights were quite cold.

Beautifully designed apartment in a great location. It felt like living in old Spain even though everything was comfortable and modern. Very good communication with the owner too! I loved it!

excellent service, the host is polite and helpful. location is great as well.

Great apartment in a superb location just 1 street off the hustle and bustle. Easy walk to alcazaba, the port, and tons of restaurants and shopping. Very good communication with the host (however, they do not reply to Expedia messaging, so I luckily thought to use WhatsApp from where they reply quickly). It helps to let them know the time of your arrival and they will be there to greet you. Clean, tidy and quiet. Would recommend!

Great location, clean and nicely decorated apartment
