This hotel is situated in a very quiet, area next to the Castillo de Gibralfaro high above the port of Malaga. The views from the property are amazing. There is plenty of free parking if you have a car. The walk down to the city is steep & takes about 1/2 hour to walk but it is doable for those in decent physical shape. The rooms are comfortable and have a nice little sitting area to rest your feet after climbing back up the hill after a day of exploring. Would recommend this hotel if you wanted to stay somewhere a little quieter, away from the hustle of the city centre.

Good location for a parador. Rooms were comfortable with balcony view. Gourmet restaurant & bar food were both good with great staff, and the breakfast was excellent. Some of the areas and the furniture in the room were a bit tired. And we only received 1 coffee bag for 2 people each day, and the teas were not replaced. Small thing, but annoying.

The best place for wonderful views of the city center and the water. The castle is right behind the hotel so you can walk the path to the city center. Breakfast was wonderful, rooms were clean and everything you needed for a stay. Only draw backmis the beds were not that comfortable, but for two nights it worked.

Couldn’t fault our recent 3 night stay, amazing views, lovely hotel, great food, friendly staff, very comfortable bed, huge room, nice and clean, plenty hot water and toiletries. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Easy walk into town and more of a climb back up but perfect for walking off dinner.

Economical, immaculate, comfortable, state of the art bathroom, electrics and furnishings. Above and beyond all our expectations. Good breakfast option able to add to room rate. cannot comment on lunch or dinner time dining experience as did not dine for those. If traveling with multiple luggage, only accessible to end of driveway with vehicle larger than mini van. 👏👍

A charming hotel overlooking Malaga. Large comfortable room with balcony overlooking the city on the top of Mont Gibralfaro. Good size pool but no pool bar. Hotel has a well regarded restaurant plus a pleasant cafe/bar and terrace. City is reachable on foot but we used the local bus and taxis. I would recommend for a quiet location but not for a lively city break. Large car park if touring.
