The hotel was wonderful, with some of the best pillows I've ever experienced in a room with great modern decor and a huge bath-tub. The service was outstanding, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, and even a paid shuttle service. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of the old town. However, there were some minor issues with the dining experience, which had good food but lacked variety. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly relaxing.

The hotel has a perfect location, close to the train station providing easy access from Malaga airport. The rooms are spacious and come with a super large bath-tub, but some may overlook an interior atrium. The service offers shuttle service and pet amenities, which is a nice touch. However, the dining options might be limited to just fruit salads. Overall, it's a great value for money with excellent facilities and friendly staff.
