We stayed here in late March for one night after arriving from Canada via Frankfurt. Parking is difficult to find. The accommodations were average. Terrace service was terrible. We had to go find the one server and the menu did not have a lot to offer. The good things were the free welcome drink for each person once we found... More

After 2 weeks in a wet and cold Andalucia, and having spent 000 s of euros at paradors, my last experience was haggling over 20 euros at 4 in the morning as we left for an early flight. On check in I'd been promised a credit towards dinner to make up for the fact that we weren't going to be... More

Our friends had a room on the third floor with fabulous views. We had a room on the first floor with a view of the service entrance, no wi-fi-signal, and next to the elevator. I would only stay here if you could get a guarantee for a third or fourth floor room. Otherwise, not worth being away from the city.

This parador have a marvellous view. But instead of staying in a hotel with cockroaches and bad service, it is better to take the afternoon tea, coffee or beer at the terrace, overlooking the city of Malaga and return back to a hotel with a good service after the tea. We stayed at the parador for three nights. But already... More

Not my favourite Parador but the location overlooking the historic city of Malaga is second to none. Clear views of the port and bullring with the castle and alacazaba in the background. Usual 4* Parador standards inside and a beautiful terrace that I would recommend at almost any time of year.

What a terrific location ! Sadly the accommodation was basic and tired and so was the service. We booked in for the special Valentines night dinner and had an OK but expensive set meal in a brightly lit dining room. No flowers , no colour , tiny table candles, and no romantic music until we were about to leave. I... More

The location and view from the terrace was exceptional. Evening meal in restaurant was good but service was not very welcoming. Not sure where breakfast was served. No AC only very noisy central heating, therefore quite an uncomfortable night's sleep

Super location that gives magnificent views over the old city and port. Breakfasts are plentiful and excellent quality; the coffee's good too. The room was very good, and the rooftop terrace a bonus. Good strengthwifi throughout. The dinner was slightly disappointing; an incorrectly translated English menu meant we ended up with a Dessert one of us couldn't eat due to... More
