6/10 Good

The Parador itself commands an amazing view! Unfortunately that makes getting down to the Beach and town a chore. Unlike almost every other Parador where we have stayed, the staff was not very friendly. Felt like they thought they were doing us a favor. Won't stay here again. Only Parador that has earned that distinction.

Lovely experience with friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms and public areas, great food and probably the best views in Malaga! Easy access by local bus (hourly during the day) if you don't fancy the walk. Need to book a table in advance if you want to enjoy your meal on the restaurant balcony. A top class Parador!

Beautiful location on the hill overlooking Malaga. Room clean and spacious with lovely view overlooking Malaga Town. Staff excellent, attentive to every need. Restaurant fabulous with excellent choice of food, staff cater for every need. Pool nice but could do with updating and decking very hot.

Beautiful views, charming older hotel. Not central but a path is there to bring you down to the center.....albeit it's fairly steep. Only downside I would say is that there is no service at the pool. The restaurant is very good.

I was charmed by this Parador. So beautiful. Loved breakfast on the terrace with amazing views over Malaga and the Med. Great little pool with sun-beds on the rooftop. Also a very handy bus stop close to the Parador. So easy to go into busy Malaga centre then back to the peace of the Parador.

Super views of malaga. Looks lovely on arrival. Reception inviting and staff welcoming. Rooms a little dull but clean. Cafe bar service poor and hit and miss. Breakfast mediocre but adequate enough.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was excellent - breakfast was fabulous both cooked and buffet available. Rooms were clean and spacious with fabulous view over the marina and up to the castle The one thing I would say the hotel is lacking is a roof top bar / drinks available at the pool even for a soft drink you have to go downstairs to the front bar . Also a snack bar would be very accommodating even just for fruit or a bowl of fries !! The views from the pool are stunning and definitely would recommend the hotel. The steep walk up and down to Malaga centre is not for the faint hearted or infirm a taxi / uber would be more acceptable!!!
