“My stay revealed a modern hotel where comfort is paramount; the beds are exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms consistently feel fresh and clean. Its strategic position next to the train and metro station is a clear advantage for exploring Malaga and beyond, while the rooftop pool offers a welcome urban escape, though it demands an early start to secure a spot. I found the staff to be attentive, adding to the overall ease of a city break.”

train station friendly staff modern design
The location near the train station was convenient, it made travel so easy! the staff were all very friendly and professional, they assisted with every request i had. i really liked the modern feel of the hotel. The design was fresh and cute.
The pool was a bit small. Though it wasn't a major issue, it did feel a little crowded at times.

high temperature inactive air conditioning
The location proved convenient for accessing train travel and metro services. Check-in was quick and amiable.
My room on the sixth floor had the heating activated upon arrival. I was unable to lower the room temperature. The window offered little relief. The hotel's full occupancy prevented a room change. During winter the air conditioning seems to be inactive.

Acceptable Stay Near the Station
train station breakfast selection unique architecture excessive noise soundproof room little light
The hotel is very close to the train station. This made travel to and from the airport easy. The breakfast had a really good selection of items. The architecture seemed unique to me.
The hotel was quite noisy. I could hear road noise and other guests very clearly. The hotel advertises soundproofed rooms, but I question that. I found very little light in the room. The curtains also did not block outside light well.

convenient location railway station dirty room peeling wallpaper
The location is convenient as it is next to the railway station.
The room was not properly cleaned upon arrival. Wallpaper had started to peel off in the room, and there were signs of mold in ceiling corners. This fell short of expectations for a 4-star hotel.
