El Riad Andaluz

The place is really nice and cozy extremely clean, it's near all the attractions in the center of the city , the room is good but the only negative thing is that the bathroom is not isolated , it needs to be closed from the top to be more private and hygienic, and the mattress could be better. And they have the most beautiful cat their ❤️

El Riad Andaluz is an interesting place to stay in central Málaga, in one of the oldest parts of town, situated in a quiet pedestrian (cobbled) street, 5 minutes walk from Plaza de la Merced (a main city square), with its restaurants and tapas bars, Picasso's birthplace museum and lifelike statue. The guest house is typically Andalucian, with a central courtyard filled with large terracotta pots of plants, tiled floors and surrounds, Moroccan style ornaments, lamps, wrought iron decoration etc. The rooms are all in keeping, surrounding the courtyard on the first floor (up steep stairs - so not suitable for people with limited ability). The rooms are small with divider walls between bed and shower, each decorated in different rich and vibrant colours, with hooks and rails for clothes etc. and - a plus - good lighting for reading. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the courtyard adding a delightful asset. ||||Gerald, the proprietor, is very nice and helpful, with maps and suggestions for restaurants, museums, places to have breakfast etc. The courtyard has tiled tables and wrought iron chairs for relaxation, and there is free coffee and tea available whenever you want it. The code button entrance ensures safety and security, another plus in the city.||||Altogether, a good place to stay and ideal for exploring the city.

Great location, very tranquil, and in the heart of the Old Town. 100% recommend

Very arrogant owner. The owner had a company started drilling at 10 AM and basically turned the hotel into a construction site without any prior warning. When I asked how long the drilling would continue, since I was working from the room and had Teams meetings, he replied: “You rented a room to sleep, nothing else. This is my property, I can do whatever I want.” He offered no solution at all and somehow made it seem like the inconvenience was my fault. Overall, a very unprofessional attitude.

We absolutely loved our stay! The room was beautifully designed with amazing colors, giving it a unique and refreshing atmosphere. It’s greatly located near the main tourist spots, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The Wi-Fi was fast, and the antique design shower head added a charming touch to our stay. It truly felt like a serene escape from the city. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. They allowed us to leave our luggage prior to check-in and were flexible with our schedule. Their proficiency in English made communication smooth and easy. We highly recommend this place and will definitely return!

This place is amazing. Everything was done with great attention to detail. The place is beautiful. And just being able to check-in with an actual person that can give you travel tips and is taking care that you enjoy your stay is like a breath of fresh air.

This is a very lovely and picturesque hotel that looks like a Moorish riad. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind, and the location is within walking distance to everything in Málaga. Since it's a unique historical place, the rooms may not meet modern standards for insulation and other amenities. I think it's the perfect accommodation for a couple or a single traveler visiting Málaga.

The hotel has a great location, so you can reach everything just by walking. Also the host and the cleaning staff are super nice and friendly. Whatever you might need, don’t be afraid to ask them. The check-in was simple and fast. I would recommend the hotel for couples who like to be self-sufficient and prefer simplicity, nearby are nice little restaurants or cafes, where you can get breakfast/ lunch and dinner. Also a supermarket for water or anything else.
