Staybridge Suites & Apartments Malaga by IHG
The room was excellent and can't fault the staff. Great check in and out. The big let down was the entire breakfast experience: too crowded for the provided area, had to remember to book a slot (takes away from a relaxing holiday vibe); poor selection and somewhat substandard quality food.

Gran Hotel Miramar GL
What a hotel! By far the best in Malaga with superb staff, great quality service and amenities. We went for a drink on the roof top terrace, ended up staying for a delicious dinner too. Rooms are spacious and quiet too. We will definitely be back. Can't recommend highly enough!
