Salitre Hotel, Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy
Will definitely stay here again. Staff were wonderful and facilities great. There is a secure basement locker area for bags if you arrive early and this area has toilets too. The Restaurant in the hotel is not actually run by the hotel but was excellent too. A lovely meal with great wine and a brandy ...

Very helpful staff. Good breakfasts, clean rooms, if a bit small. Extremely handy for the airport and easy links into the centre of Malaga.

tent Torremolinos
The hotel was well priced and exactly what we needed. Great view from the balcony. Convenient 10 minute walk to the train station. There are several dinning options and stores nearby. One of us did laundry and that was convenience and fast. The poop closes at 6 pm and that was disappointing

Hotel ILUNION Malaga
Location was quiet breakfast was good. 15 minute walk to city center. We choose this hotel for the parking. We had a car. Be sure it’s a small car. Room was ok. I like having tissue, lotion and cream rinse a hotel provides. This one did not. Still a nice hotel.
