Málaga Hotel Eliseos
For what you pay, the television was disappointing. After a long day out exploring, we like to relax and maybe watch a film. The tiny screen television was stuck away high in a corner.

Catalonia Molina Lario
Exceptional hotel, amazing location. Front desk staff were so helpful with finding parking next to hotel. Rooftop bar and pool is lovely, and well used. A real find in a city. Rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We will be back, highly recommend.
