Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro

Our 3rd stay here but we had to change rooms the first night as there was a problem with the electrics, but we were glad we did as the new room was much bigger and given we were staying 8 nights we needed the space. The first room 201, is small with an accessible wet room rather than the lovely larger bathroom that we had in 206. The views are good from all rooms we've had but I think the 2nd and 3rd floors are the best. The staff are lovely, breakfast very good, housekeeping excellent, beds very comfortable. Plenty of towels and toiletries. 2nd room was missing a hairdryer but one was found immediately. Reasonably priced mini bar and free tea/coffee replenished daily. The views from the bar/terrace are lovely. The hotel is next to the castle and also on a bus route, which we used frequently, very cheap to get in to the city centre

The hotel is amazing, beautiful location. The room was elegant and the view incredible. Great balcony and the bed was really comfortable. Hot shower, everything you need in the bathroom. Staff were lovely and friendly. Slow service at the bar but we were on holidays, not in a rush, but on occasion we did leave and just headed into town as we were waiting so long to order a beer. Food was lovely, the breakfast is expensive so we chose to eat in town most days. We will definitely return to the hotel and I would highly recommend, It is a hike back up the hill but lots of affordable taxis. Oh and the pool area is great also :)

Very nice hotel Bit pricey but worth it for the view and the ambiance Brilliant views from the whole hotel Lovely breakfast and dinner on the terrace If you stay you can book this but it is a fair system so pick the night that you want the terrace view We were fortunate to have 5 terrace experiences We had the breakfast and dinner package Staff are very good and very nice Easy walk downhill to the town centre Bus 35 back up the hill €1.40 per person

The hotel is set high in the town with a steep path down into the city that took around 20min. Lovely views from path and hotel. It was great to come back via the bus and nice to come back to the hotel pool.

I regularly return to this hotel and it never disappoints! It offers a perfect location as is a short walk downhill to the main attractions of Malaga centre (10-15mins) yet offers spectacular tranquil sea views of Malaga and is one of the few hotels in the area with an amazing pool area complete with sea view. There is a regular bus outside the gate of the hotel and staff are incredibly helpful.
