    It is a bit old. Could do with some small improvements on the furniture and the kitchen is equipped with no dishes or cookware. Otherwise it is a great place.

    I like the responsive and helpful host. The location was in the heart of the town. The whole property. Great value for money.

    For a solo female traveler, it was a little intimidating to be in a shared apartment with all men on my first night, that’s not a problem of the business but to go the extra mile for the customer experience maybe room allocation could be thought out a little more but that’s just nit picking. There was a kitchen but no utensils. I had planned to go to the market to bring back some food and cook or at least plate a meal but that was not possible. Again I know this is reflected in the price but seemed a bit strange when staying in an apartment. And also woke up in the night gasping for water and there were no glasses. So I’d recommend glasses or at least a bottle of water in the rooms or to remind guests to bring their own. Some other guests where quite loud but having read other reviews I brought ear plugs, I would advise all guests to do the same.

    The location was unbeatable. Right in the heart of the city. I would not expect such a fantastic spot for so little money, the value was impeccable. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed felt like memory foam it’s was insanely comfortable something I was also not expecting for the price.

    The only downside was the check-in hours and the inflexibility of the service. On the way to the hotel, our car broke down and we didn't make it on time. I called the reception in advance to warn about the inconvenience, but unfortunately it was not possible to extend the time for collecting the keys. We stayed for one night without accommodation, in a foreign country, which was terrible. I understand that check-in times were strictly defined, and there was one situation that we were unable to predict.

    Excellent location. In the heart of the city. Room was clean and tidy. Price was good.

    - don’t expect to much - the Walls Are Really Thin (you can clearly hear street sounds/people speaking outside) - the room doesn’t feel comfy (just the bed & a table) - shared kitchen is small and no pans or other things available - no reception

    - was okay for the Price - small balcony - shared bathroom was clean - contactless check in (after 8pm) was possible (you have to announce it in advance, so you get the code) - close to the city Center

    When I arrived there was no one at the property. I knocked and buzzed for fifteen minutes and was starting to get worried. I was just starting to think I’d need to find a different hotel when the receptionist finally turned up, but leaving a note on the door to say when she would be back would save a lot of stress. I knew the place would be basic, but other nicer, more spacious and more modern places can be found in Malaga for similar prices.

    I just needed somewhere for one night before flying out. The bed was comfy enough. The room was clean and warm.

    I really didn't like the bath and the fridge where I stayed. Considering it was one of the most affordable place in Malaga, it's okay.

    The location of the apartment is awesome, it's very central. The employees were very nice and helpful. I stayed one night and I liked it overall.
