Barceló Málaga

Stayed here last week with my husband for 4 nights and it was great. 2 min walk from the train station which was only an 8min journey from the airport. |Loads of taxis outside the train station and only €5 max to get to the cathedral which was a very central point to explore the city from.|Hotel was very comfortable, we had a deluxe double room, bed was huge and comfy and ac was excellent. Great shower too. |Bar staff in bar downstairs were so friendly and polite, breakfast staff the same. Breakfast was delicious, plentiful and fresh. |Only complaint was the bar person at the pool on the day we arrived, Enrique, he was most unhelpful and in fact very rude when we ordered some food and drinks. |The rest of the staff for the rest of our stay made up for this.|Great location and Malaga is a beautiful city, compact, clean, safe and overall an excellent vibe. Would highly recommend

I could not fault any aspect of this hotel. All areas of the hotel were clean. The breakfast and other foods were excellent. The facilities in the bedrooms were excellent- I booked a superior room. All staff were welcoming and helpful and responded efficiently to any customer request. Even though this hotel is next to a shopping complex and the railway station. It is extremely quiet. The beds are comfortable and the lack of noise meant that you got a good night's sleep. The hotel is in a central position with easy access to public transport, tourist buses and taxis. The staff even surprised me by putting cake and a bottle of wine in my room because it was my birthday. What more can you ask for!

This was our 3rd stay at the Barcelo Malaga and again we had a great holiday. We booked a Junior Suite for 8 nights, room 816, and it was just as excellent as our last stay.||We received a complimentary bottle of Cava and a welcome note indicating that they knew we had stayed previously. It was my birthday during our stay and we were surprised by another bottle of Cava and some cake. These little touches create the feeling of being valued guests.||The room was great. The bed was so comfortable, the shower excellent and housekeeping standards were high. Breakfast was most enjoyable with a wide variety of food. The Barcelo is our go to hotel in Malaga.

A very modern nice hotel, with great rooms, excellent breakfast and I would certainly come back. Issues we had. 1 Could not find a roof bar. 2. We had a burger at the bar downstairs which was raw inside (should have taken it back, but it was late). 3. It does take around 12 mins to walk to the corner of the old town. 4. There was a room fridge with drinks, but no price or bottle opener. 5. The pool did not seem heated.

Lovely hotel service was good rooms were immaculate and well equipped . Coffee machine tea making facilities, steam cleaner provided, hairdryer and toiletries dressing gowns and slippers . |Rooftop pool small. Beds and seating available. Bar wasn’t open when we stayed. |Located right beside train station. Train goes every 30mins to airport. €2.80 each single trip . |Located in the shopping/business area about 20mins walk to old town/port. Staff we dealt with were all pleasant and helpful.

Came for 6 days and wanted to be away from downtown and closer to transportation. Perfectly located besides train station from airport and a nice shopping mall. Easy walking to downtown and beach. Very happy with breakfast quality/variety and the beds are amazingly comfortable. I’m a frequent traveller and can safely recommend this hotel, you will not be dissatisfied. Great gym as well, very quiet in early morning.

This hotel is great for sight seeing in Malaga, with options to walk in or catch the underground easily from nearby in the shopping centre. Equally easy access to the airport too. |The superior premium room has very comfortable beds, is very clean and quiet. Towelling robes and slippers are included too and a vertical steam iron!! |There are free drinks in the fridge but we weren’t aware of this until we asked at reception on our last day.. and then had to go and get a bottle opener from the bar..they aren’t replaced free of charge once used. The Lavazza coffee machine was excellent. |Not in the centre but there are a good selection of restaurants nearby to enjoy if you don’t want to go back into the centre for an evening meal.|The pool is smaller than it looks on the photos and towels are only available once you have paid 20e at reception . Plenty of sun beds but obviously the sun isn’t always on them so choose your time of day to enjoy them wisely or just enjoy the roof top bar and views.

The room was really clean and comfortable. Fab staff. The hotel is in a great location for visiting the city of Málaga with the added bonus of the nearby train station. Very easy to access neighboring towns and beaches. Highly recommended we hope to visit again.

This hotel is really nice, the first thing I noticed was a slide from the second floor down to the main lobby; of course I went down the slide. The bar/lounge area was decorated very hip. I felt like I was in a Britney Spears video. There is a gym that overlooks the sea. Our room was very nice with free wifi. This hotel is close to the beach and it's also located next to a mall; also nearby a bus station; which made walking distance friendly!

Nice hotel in Malaga. Close to the train station and the city centre is not far away. Given the choice I would look around but not bad for a business hotel.

If you are in Spain, you really need to hit Costa Del Sol (The South Coast)... now when you get there you will have several options and Malaga is a pretty good one if you are on a budget. It is the largest city in the South, has great beaches and lots of restaurants, things to see, but of course, comes with the ills of being a larger city. Other options include Marbella (high-end), Tarifa and Cadiz. Now the Barcelo hotel is a pretty famous chain and we chose this hotel mainly due to the fact that it was right beside the train station and therefore, easily accessible. We didn't plan to spend all day at the beach and rented the city tour bus to get around. We paid 160 EUR for 2 nights and the hotel is very new and clean. When you are walking out of the train station, you simply need to exit on the right side, turn right and walk about a minute down the street (the barcelo is connected to the train station so easy to find (there is no noise from the station by the way). Inside everything is very new and trendy so to speak, but this is partially due to the inconvenience of getting to the beach - you will not be able to walk there, as it is quite a mission to say the least - if you plan to be at the beach all day everyday and want to be where most of the happening clubs/bars are, then this would not be the hotel for you. (This is the reason for 4 stars). On a very positive note, we asked the front staff where we could go for good local food and they gave us great advice. From the train station the tourist beaches are to the left side while the local beaches tend to be to the right side... Now from the Barcelo it is about a 15 to 20 minute walk down to the beach on the right hand side and at night this is where the locals go to get amazing local seafood at restaurants on the beach - the food really want unbelievable here and very reasonably priced. Again, almost all locals so a bit of Spanish would serve you well!

we stayed here for three nights. the hotel lobby looks fantastic but the bar area isn't really functional. we sat for 15mins before we had to go over to reception to ask for a waiter to appear. the rooms are nice and comfortable, massive bed and great bathroom facilities, massive shower and bath. laptop safe and minifridge. all good. looking forward to using the big slide in reception to check out tomorrow!
