"This is a lovely boutique hotel right in the centre of Malaga Old Town. It is located within easy walking distance of all the historic sites and also the beachfront. There are lots of restaurants and bars close by. The hotel is very well maintained and the bedrooms are really nice. The breakfast selection was quite good. Our bedroom did not have a window onto the street but rather a patio door overlooking an internal courtyard. The hotel had advised us of this in advance and it wasn't a problem for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to be at the centre of things in Malaga Old Town."
