"It’s was before a EasyHotel, and they just charge a name and a bit the colour of the rooms, and call now Four points by Sheraton, but quality and standard room are the same, with the sink in the room and small bathroom with the transparent glass. The good point of this Hotel is location, and very friendly staff on reception. Big thank u for early check in"

Hostal Superlativo Trinidad ★★
"It was a little far from the station and the city center, but within walking distance. The room was a bit small but clean and had air conditioning and heating. Towels were provided. The facilities were new and clean, but the shower water wasn't hot enough. They also held my luggage for me."

Ibis Budget Málaga Centro ★★
"The hotel is about a 30-45 minute drive from the airport, with a direct airport bus service. It's also just a 10-minute walk from the train station, making it convenient for travelers arriving by train or plane. The beach and attractions are all within walking distance, so the location is great – quiet yet lively! As an Ibis Budget, it's more basic than a regular Ibis hotel. We stayed in a double room, which was formed by combining two single beds. The bathroom and toilet were separate, and the sink was open-plan. The counter space was a bit small, and the layout was a bit odd; the clothes hanger was by the innermost window, usually it's closer to the door. Another point is that there was no bedside table at all, which was a bit inconvenient. There was no hairdryer in the room; we had to borrow one from reception and return it at checkout. There were no disposable toiletries or slippers, just two paper cups and a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. It's suitable for a short 1-night stay, mainly for its convenient location!"

Posadas de España Malaga ★★★
"Big thanks to the staff for their support, although they could inform guests with cars about how to open the parking door for themselves or just leave a sign next to the door. The location is great next to the highway, a quiet area to have enough rest. I can go on and on, overall very good balance of all hotel aspects. Small note: please align the tap with the sink, half the water goes out which is a waste and makes all the area wet around the sink."

Literal Hotel ★★
"The room was clean and quiet. There were no separate bathrooms or toilets in the rooms; each room had its own large space for men and women. The bathroom, toilet, and storage lockers were in the same large space. The room was only used for sleeping. At first, I wasn't used to it, but later I felt it was reasonable, especially considering it was a mixed-gender room! I was quite satisfied."
