Flex Malaga City Center

Very basic, studio style bedroom but good enough for a couple on a short break

Very Clean, comfortable beds and excellent location. Bus and train station / big shopping mall is less than a 5 minute walk away which was brilliant, staff were kind and we would stay again. Rooms were quite spacious ( I previously stayed in this franchise hotel In London which was so small, so I was pleasantly surprised). Downsides; we moved rooms on our first night as there was an issue with the air con not working. The room we moved to was better however we couldn’t sleep due to the positioning of the air conditioner which was directly blowing on the bed. This resulted in turning it off and sweating through the night as we couldn’t cope with the air being blown on our face ( hot and cold depending on how we adjusted the temp). The air conditioning broke a few times during our stay and we had to keep going downstairs to ask reception to fix it. A few other guests had this problem too. There is no fridge or kettle in the room, downstairs there is a vending machine with limited options and the 1 tea it had was a lemon strange tasting drink with no option to remove the sugar in it. When I asked the boy at reception if he had a kettle that I could use at reception for boiling water only to add my own tea bag he said no. On check out they made us pay 5 euro to keep our suitcase for 2 hours. This wasn’t ideal as the hotels I’ve stayed in before allowed this for free. Other than that it was a great stay and I’m glad I chose it.

The location of the hotel was good, 10 minutes walk from the train station, and 10 minutes walk to the beach. Staff was very helpful and welcoming.
