Malaga trip
This hotel/ parador is a do not miss experience. It’s a beautiful spot in Malaga? Perched on top of the hill. The views are to die for. Very comfortable, great breakfast and bar.

Service in the lobby bar restaurant was horrible- we waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order. Service in the upstairs restaurant was wonderful with nice views.

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.

Honestly not great. Hallways quite dingy. View was terrible from the room even with making a request months prior to check in for a higher floor. Extremely noisy, can hear everything above us. Pool does not look like the pictures AT ALL. Not worth it.

All lovely. Immaculate hotel. Very helpful staff. Liked the pool.
Easy walk down the scenic path into central Malaga, but too steep and too far to walk back after a night out. You need a taxi.,

The property made our trip to Malaga memorable. It’s basically attached to the Gibralfaro and the views from the rooms, the restaurants and outside the hotel is spectacular

Beayutiful hotel, lovely weekend.
The hotel is beautiful with friendly staff and great food, Cava with breakfast is a lovely touch. The hotel is high up so there can be a lot of walking but there is a bus up and down to the city centre, The Castle, Alcazabar, the cathedral and the city in general are beautiful. Would recommend the hotel and Malaga in general.

This hotel is at the top of Malaga, directly under the castle. It's out of the way of all the city noise. There is a very steep walking path to downtown. We walked to the beach and restaurants. Getting to the main shopping area is a little out of the way. The walk back uphill was not reasonable so we took a taxi. They seem short on staff in the restaurant and breakfast area. The waitstaff that was on hand couldn't keep up. They were very friendly however.
