“Close to Malaga Airport, this property caters especially to families and those needing early-morning flights with its 4 AM complimentary breakfast. While the absence of an airport shuttle is a drawback, the hotel compensates with reimbursements for public transport. Family rooms, responsive staff, and well-insulated spaces further enhance its appeal, though some may find the reliance on public transport less than ideal.”

Great Airport Proximity!

early breakfastspacious roomclean roomairport proximity
The hotel is super close to the airport, very convenient! I had an early morning flight, and they provided breakfast items early, such as coffee, toast, fruit, and cereal. My room was spacious and clean. It felt sturdy. I was quite happy about that for just one night.
Facilities

A coffee machine near reception provides complimentary coffee all day. That is such a nice touch. A light breakfast buffet is available from 4:00 AM, and that includes croissants, muffins, biscuits, coffee, and juice.

The bathroom was nice and had a bathtub, toilet, and bidet. There was sufficient space, and there were good free toiletries. The room provided ample space, and the bed was firm. I slept well.

The reception staff provided very helpful service. The room I was assigned, a Standard Room, featured excellent cleanliness. The included breakfast offered a perfect start to my day.
The sink tap was too short, so washing my face was a little awkward.

adequate stay, some inconveniences

unsafe routewarm air
the advertised proximity to the airport proved misleading. i discovered there's no safe pedestrian route (a dual carriageway blocks direct access). this necessitated a costly taxi ride for a very short distance. the room's temperature was also an issue (the air conditioning circulated warm air).
