Hotel Alameda Malaga

“Central, Clean and friendly staff. ”

I booked this online and it was going to be pot luck. A friend from the UK was visiting and we couldn’t get two single rooms in same hotel, but it didn’t matter as I was a two minute walk around the corner.

I booked this online and it was going to be pot luck. A friend from the UK was visiting and we couldn’t get two single rooms in same hotel, but it didn’t matter as I was a two minute walk around the corner. The room was on the small side, but clean, well equipped and lovely staff! Free wi-fi, safe, mini fridge in room etc. Minor quibbles; no tea or coffee in the room, but there is a breakfast room at the entrance and there is a machine there.. So they do really have it all covered. A strange humming noise on/off during the night, but I guess it is the heating/air con system for the whole building. (But I was dog tired from all the walking we did around the city so had a sound nights sleep!) Very comfy bed/pillows. (I think all were latex?) Usual crisp white sheets and plenty of towels. Shower room small and basic, but excellent VFM overall Eu62 for a Sunday night.. The hotel itself is located on the top (8th) floor of a city center building, so very easy access to all the sights. Very close to the port bus station too, where I arrived from along the coast. 24 hour porter/reception staff on site, so you don’t have to take your key out if you don’t want.. Taxi rank very close by.. and reasonable prices.. (Views of city from breakfast balcony. But I ate out..) NB This is by no means a posh hotel, it is even going towards a little tired if you look closely. But for a two star place, you still get a clean room, all the facilities and service with a smile…

“Excellent location”

Thank you to the kind hosts who welcomed me late at night after a delayed flight. Communication was a little tricky as I have only recently started learning Spanish, but it was good to practice. The hotel is easy to reach by taxi from Malaga airport. It's not as easy to spot from the road though. It's on the top floor of a block but the sign is quite small and is off the road. Use the button for the hotel and take the lift to floor 8. This is an ideal place if you just want a sleeping base in Malaga. It's not for you if you're looking for luxury. However, the rooms were immaculately clean and although my single room was of course small, it had everything you'd need. It had air-con,a fridge, desk, TV, wardrobe, and free safe. Agree with others - the water pressure for the shower was excellent. The bathroom really needs a blind or curtain as it got really hot in there in the morning due to the sun coming in. My air-con unit had a tendency to rattle every so often but I sleep with earplugs so I was OK. There was some loud drilling at 8am on my last morning but it was clear this was nothing to do with the hotel (lucky for me I was up anyway). I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for great value in the heart of Malaga. I'd also recommend seeing the views from Castillo Gibralfaro, and watching the sunset from the Marriott's 15th floor bar. Enjoy!

“Clean, clean, clean with great location to old town!”

Small room but very workable for a one-night stay. Everything is spic and span clean with tasteful decor. The beds are comfy, the bathroom efficient, the street noise level is low. Perhaps most important, the A/C works well. Service is very minimal but none was really required. Some of the rooms ... more

Small room but very workable for a one-night stay. Everything is spic and span clean with tasteful decor. The beds are comfy, the bathroom efficient, the street noise level is low. Perhaps most important, the A/C works well. Service is very minimal but none was really required. Some of the rooms (including ours) are on the next floor up with no elevator service.

“Nice convenient hotel”

Location is very good, within walking distance to Historical centre, Marina, all main attractions etc.. Room size is ok, bit on the small size but for the price it is good enough. Relatively clean and decent power shower with good functioning ac and a mini fridge. Staff were friendly enough ans kindly let us store our bags and change before we had to leave for the airport. Main issue is the walls are all paper thin, you can hear the people in the room next to you and there were some people coming in quite late and very very loud all the nights that we were there slamming the doors. There is also a musky damp smell upon entering the building and rooms are a little stuffy but overall we were happy with our stay.
