Good hotel with great views over Malaga port. But I think they forgot to use installation when this hotel was built. The people above us insisted on turning on the taps and flushing the toilet constantly through out the night and it seemed the hotel plumbing was in the wall behind our bed. So as I word of warning keep... More

Down in Malaga for 4 nights with my best friend, the rooms are large and clean and the view over malaga is breathtaking. We very much enjoyed the top floor sundeck area with the swimming pool. All rooms have sea views and balcony overlooking Malaga. More

We will remember most the views from this hotel, high on the hill, watching the cruise ships sailing the Mediterranean. Our outdoor table on the second floor restaurant overlooked a wedding below and serranaded us with "Moon River" and cheers of "viva los novios"! We loved our appetizers and entrees, the dessert was unremarkable. The parking is limited but there... More

Location is superb, overlooking the sea with the possibility of seeing Maroco in the evening when it is clear. It is a quiet place in an own park. The swimming pool is an amazing place overlooking the sea and the castle closeby. Rooms are good, maybe slightly outdated for one with a critical eye. Breakfast selection is great, one of... More

The restaurant was overpriced and pretentious. The service was terrible and the food was even worse. Wine was poured in a way a five year old does. Avoid this restaurant at all cost. More

When a room became available here at the last minute we felt very lucky as it had been full when we'd tried to book several weeks in advance. As other reviewers have said, the location makes for stunning views and the room we were allocated was huge, well equipped and comfortable with a patio overlooking the port. However, the staff...

Just back from a short stay with friends in Parador Gilblfaro Malaga (3 nights). Like other Paradors in which I have stayed this was excellent. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable with wonderful views over Malaga. (sits several hundred feet above the city). The terrace was great for just sitting having a drink or eating until the early hours. Food... More

Stayed here for one night in September. The main asset for this hotel is its stunning location on a hill next to the Gibralfaro castle over looking Malaga and the sea. There is a terrace bar cafe where you can enjoy the views, and our room also had a balcony which was nice for watching the sunset. There is also... More

We have stayed at the Parador de Malaga a few times. The location is stunning and we use it to end holidays in Spain when returning from Malaga Airport. Like many Paradores the quality of service is variable. Some staff are very helpful and welcoming while others can be stand offish and verging on the rude. It's very odd to... More
