Barceló Malaga Hotel

Y

This hotel is awesome! It’s a little further out but it’s so worth it for the rooftop pool and bar, the amazing breakfast and the massive, comfy beds. The staff were all lovely especially the guys on the rooftop pool bar and lovely Ivan on reception. The hotel is so easy to get to from the airport as it’s connected to Zambrano station- you wouldn’t know it though as it is genuinely really quiet and calm inside. We’ve never stayed in a Barcelo hotel before now we want to try them all! Oh and there is an actual massive slide connecting the first floor to the lobby and it is joyous!

Very good hotel, good location, nice roof top pool and excellent service.

The hotel is tired and dated. It is convenient for the train station but is a 15 minute walk from the historic centre of Malaga. There are much better hotel choices in the centre. Breakfast was mediocre. I will not be staying here again.

I booked this hotel as an overnight stop before travelling onward by train to Seville. As a solo female traveller arriving on an evening flight into Málaga my priority was safety. This hotel ticked all the boxes. The train from the airport was inexpensive and easy to use. On arrival at Málaga María Zambrano station there is no need to go outside; the hotel is connected to the train station by a well signposted walkway. Even at night the train station felt bustling and safe. There is a supermarket in the train station concourse. The staff at the hotel were very kind. Check-in was fast and I made use of the gym which was open until 11pm. Unfortunately I missed the pool which closed at 9pm. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of options for me following a high-protein diet. I particularly enjoyed the mackerel and the eggs station. The slide was good fun!

The room dump ,clean room ,no towels in bathroom

My family stayed during the middle of August and the air conditioning work properly. I called to complain to the staff ab

Excellent facilities but just a few little pointers We had to ask for coffee for the machine, some spots weren’t as clean as desirable the shower tray was leaking a bit, amazing terrace pool was a bit small The parking should have been free Apart from that the rest was perfect For what you get charged I think these pointers should have been better

Very convenient to the train station. The room was excellent, we were in a penthouse type suite. But the wifi never worked well the whole of our five day stay. Management was very receptive and apologetic but could never fix the problem. Lobby was almost always dirty,, but our room was very very clean and nice. Also the hotel is not in a very good neighborhood. Lots of homeless right out front and nearby.

Great location

Excellent property and excellent customer service by their staff!! Super recommended

Everything. The room was spacious and immaculate. Stash was super helpful and kind.

I chose this hotel precisely for its location, close to all forms of public transport as i have reduced mobility and can't walk far. I would say that it is perhaps best suited to either people travelling for business, or for long weekends, rather than a longer holiday - we were there for a week. i say this primarily because in the entire room there were 2 very small drawers - between 2 people - see photo. having hung as much as we could, had to live out of the suitcase for the week - bedside drawers for things like medication/chargers etc wouold have been good. (First world problems and all that, but bear in mind when packing!). The rainfall showerhead was a bit hit and miss and the hairdryer was a bit temperamental too. Some maintenance is needed around the terrace and swimming pool area - the metal ladder rail came out of its housing as i went to get in the pool - another swimmer said had happened to him too and some of the non slip composite decking is not fixed down too well - potential trip hazard. Pool was lovely and warm. On the plus side, it was good to note that the pool does have some shallow steps at one end and a hoist if needed. All areas of the hotel appear to be accessible which is good and you can also take a slide down from 1st to ground floor! The staff were friendly and efficient and the breakfasts were really good. Direct access into the train station was a real plus for me. I would stay again, but would pack light!

A lovely hotel in a great location for the train station. However, the B heaven bar doesn't open until 12pm, when B heaven opens 9 till 9, which is a little strange?. The inside slide was well used and a novelty, the hotel was modern and staff were friendly, but everything is done at a slow pace so don't expect quick service

Very expensive no quality services we paid $650 per room since we missed our flight no one helped us to take our lauguage to our room kind of self sink was blocked over all not good. I don’t recommend

The family premium room was perfect for my husband and 2 teenagers

Really good

Great location right next to the train station. Walkable distance to the Malaga old town which was great. Close to beach, restaurants, bars, and shops. Hotel was clean, nice staff, cleaning service every night , and wonderful amenities.

Great hotel, lovely roof top pool and bar. Prices good. Only 4 Euro a large beer. Room was quality. The slide was a little bit of fun and the shopping centre and station next door is a definate plus. Only negative for me was the pool towel experience. On day 1 we collected them from reception without paying the hold fee of 22 euro. Day 2 i went to reception but then had to collect the towells from the rooftop bar and day 3 the staff member was very, very reluctant to give me any towells without paying the 22 euro despite not doing this for the 2 days prior. In my opinion, a better experience would be to just take reception out of it and collect and return all towells up at the roof bar. Other than that it was a fab stay and somewhere we would for sure come back

Clean, friendly staff and very convenient location. Only inconvenience was that pool was closed due to private event and we could not use it. My son was disappointed . I would suggest that private parties should be organized after the regular pool hours. Other than that, excellent hotel.
