El Riad Andaluz is a delightful hotel on a quiet pedestrian street. The central atrium with many climbing plants is a lovely place to sit. The owner (with his very friendly cat) looked after us well. Highly recommended.

Good stay in Malaga

The atmosphere was excellent—old style Arabic/Old Spanish establishment with internal courtyard and rooms with internal windows. A very authentic feel and dare I write, quaint. There was no noise from outside. Internal noise echoed a bit but the other guests weren’t noisy. The bed was spotlessly clean. The shower head needed a gasket to stop the water spraying everywhere except from the shower head itself! The holder on the wall for the shower head itself was too worn out to hold the shower head so I had to hold the shower head or rest it on the taps. The sink plug was fully inserted and to get it out so the sink could drain I had to dig it out with my fingernails. The hotel is close to the town’s restaurants and bars and the Alcazar and Roman Teatro. Excellent. I really enjoyed my stay but the shower and sink need some TLC. Get that fixed and it’s a gem.

The room is cozy with its own private balcony. The decor and architecture is amazing and all the plants. The bed was firm and comfortable. Especially the pillow. It was chilly but they have central heat air and a hot plate to warm up room. Hot water takes a minute in shower. A tiny shower, got to make sure you put a towel on the floor. The location is amazing so close to everything within walking distance from all the sites. I loved staying here. Also felt very safe. TGNCIQ friendly.

Extremely low hygiene conditions

I am not happy to write this review: I had the chance to see the owner of El Riad Andaluz is really passionate about this hotel. Although, my experience at this hotel was far from satisfactory. For this reason, I have to warn potential customers about the fact that some of the rooms (such as the one I booked), have extremely low hygiene-sanitary conditions. The layout, with the bathroom directly integrated into the bedroom without proper separation, was not only aesthetically displeasing but also a clear violation of hygiene regulations. The lack of privacy and the potential for cross-contamination were alarming. It's baffling that the hotel would compromise such basic standards. I would caution anyone considering staying here to think twice about their health and comfort. I remark the fact that this "feature" is not explained in the hotel description, nor it visible from the pictures listed in the website. I didn't appreciate how the owner managed my claim, as he didn't offer any refund in case we would leave the room (he said he would offer to us a refund in case he had found new customers). I think this behavoiour was not fair from the owner.

Arrivati l'hotel si presenta come un piccolo riad marocchino. Saliamo in camera e....orrore. pavimento sporco di capelli e cosi tutto il letto e i cuscini. Avvisiamo il proprietario che ci cambia il lenzuolo. Bagno minuscolo e inesistente, era una parete che divideva il letto dal water senza soffitto e senza porta ma una tendina. Pessima esperienza

Property was nice, street outside was not great. The guy who greeted us was a bit off. Didn’t want to be there or seemed bothered and agitated with work in general. Might have been the owner, but he is very short tempered. Everyone has bad days, but running a hospitality business, attitude is key. And this is coming from being in the business for 20 years.
