Nothing, all was perfect!

A quiet peaceful oasis, with beautiful garden and pool and the villa had lots of character. Our room was bijou, but exceptionally clean and we had all we needed including the all important kettle. Breakfast was simple but lovely,and staff very friendly. I would certainly go back!

no fridge in room although you could use the one in the honesty bar a little thought to where kettle trolley was placed as I had to move it near a socket and move other furniture to do so, shower tray could benefit from a non slip mat

lovely helpful staff and knowledgeable, quite location very clean and well presented

Tip: make check in more efficient, online or self check in. It took us more than an hour. There was no line, just inefficient as staff is also responsible for breakfast so she kept walking away to prep food and drinks for other guests. Tip: clean the pool, it's beautiful but currently dirty. We were here for 8 nights and have not seen a clean pool. Tip: bikes are not free, change this on the advertisment because it states differently there. Also bikes are not electronic when we did pay for them and asked for electronic ones it turned out you pay 14 euro per bike per day for normal onces, who are not of good kwality. (we returned them after using them 30 min) paying for a full day. Previous time we stayed here the bikes where included in the hotel price. Tip: get proper wifi. It did not work for 7 days. Then a wifi with poor reception that hardly works. I would recommend this hotel but they need to work on a couple or things. Enjoy your holiday here!

First some love, then some pointers for improvement. Why we love this hotel: This the second time we are here. Great quite location, walking distance from beach and city. Charming hotel, nice looking rooms. They have a fridge where you can take something out as you please (and pay for at checkout)

Small, friendly, quiet location but easy for buses and to walk to beach

We were a bit surprised that the rooms itself are pretty basic. Maybe we had too high expectations when seeing the building itself.

Very nice building and relaxing suburb to be. Buses to Malaga city center are within 10 min walk and are running frequently. We had a very nice and big balcony which made the stay perfect. With only 7 rooms it felt very familiar.

The breakfast was a bit expensive for us as the teenagers didn't eat much

The hotel was very peaceful and we enjoyed the pool. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Very few bars / restaurants close by so a long walk or a taxi to the centre. Shower/toilet area very cramped and small

Nice hotel and very quiet except for the roadworks 😄 Claudia on reception was very pleasant and helpful

The rooms held against the price you pay are little bit small in my opinion.

Very friendly staff and beautiful hotel and garden. It’s just wonderful to sit on your own balcony and listen to the birds. It’s a little bit outside the main city but it’s really easy to go to the the centre with a bus which drives quite frequently. Don’t worry about the distance 😊 There are a couple of groceries in the neighbourhood and if you go to the beach you can find restaurants too.

Very comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and very friendly hosts.

Found the breakfast and reception areas quite cold in February as the front door was left open all the time. It was about 30 mins walk to the old city and the port area, where we ate most evenings. The hotel staff ordered taxis for us. would have preferred to be nearer the centre.

We had a very large apartment at the top of the building which was comfortable. We were there in February so had to use the heating. Great shower and bathroom facilities but bathroom itself had a damp feel to it.

It is an old stonehouse so you could hear the other guests quite well from the room when they were in the corridor, but as it is only 7 rooms we were not disturbed by it.

When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by José, this wonderful person, that made the stay at Villa Lorena so worth it. He gave us tips of restaurants, served us great cappuchinos in the mornings and was so very friendly. The room was nice and clean, nice comfortable beds and they had a small, but great breakfast. The hotel is situated in a quiet neigboorhood about av 30 minute walk from the city. The buses is a few minutes walk from the hotel and goes all the time. One day we rented bikes at the hotel and went to Pedregalejo and El Palo - a very nice tour. So I can really recommend this hotel if you like to have some calm sorroundings.

A silly complaint , but the coffee cups in the rooms were very small and difficult to hold.

Very quiet hotel.Quiet , safe location. 10 minute walk to the sea. Lovely charming house.

We found no fault at all.

WE LOVED EVERYTHING..... Jose, Naomi and Claudia are an amazing team. Such kind and personable people who make this place so wonderful. The location is definitely peaceful and very leafy. Not a sign of any typical tourism in the area and the hotel is a beautiful building. Room 7 is where we stayed and it is truly fantastic with so much space. The superking bed was so comfortable with great pillows which is such a bonus. The shower is just perfect, a bathtub too if needed. There are supermarkets within a ten minute walk. The beach is ten minutes away. Malaga centre is half an hour steady stroll alongside the beach and sea. Jose told us that his favourite museum is the Museum of Malaga. We visited after his recommendation and it is really fabulous. Only Eur1.50 to get in too. There is a cellar area with a kitchen, TV and comfortable seating so we watched Netflix down there. No smart TV in the rooms. The outside area is perfectly adequate with comfortable loungers and you can get the sun all day long. Everything was really clean and the cleaning staff were as friendly as the reception team. All other residents were also full of praise for this stunning hotel. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with Jose's scrambled eggs and bacon so delicious. Coffee machine in the room with plenty of coffee capsules. We had a late flight home but we were encouraged to stay after check in and use all the hotel facilities until our departure. We will be back every time we visit Malaga. If we could score this higher than a 10/10 we would do.

It was uncomfortable to sleep on single beds. On our first night in the hotel, we found a silver bug in our bed, despite the fact that the hotel appears to be clean. When we used the AC/heater the room smelled like sewage. A better breakfast would be appreciated. There was a limited selection of breakfast options. Breakfast was mostly cold except for three days out of seven when they cooked eggs and bacon.

We had a two-room apartment on the 4th floor. This small hotel is located in a quiet and green area, which is only 25 minutes walk from Malaga's old city center. The staff was nice and helpful.

I stayed with my girlfriend for 4 days there and we loved everything about it, thats why i even ordered 3 days more till the end of our vacation in Malaga! The staff was very friendly, the neighborhood was very quite and nice to stay in, bike rentals were available aswell in the same place.

signor Jose and the ladies. Jose is a true gentleman. you know a really good place when sometimes things go a little wrong. what makes the big difference is how we all deal with these problems. Lorena villa and staff passed with flying colours. wonderful.

staff were excellent, amazing hotel. on street parking. short walk to the beach. local bus to go into town very close to the hotel

Bikes were poorly maintained & relatively expensive - could have bought a similar quality cheap bike for weekly hire cost. Taxi driver to airport took long way via motorway early Sunday morning when town route would have been quick & cheap - suggest have a link to a reputable taxi driver who doesn't rip tourists off

Great staff & breakfast - beautiful & simple hotel
