Old, but beautiful. Amazing decor. Rooms kind of small, but understandable given apparent age of property. Very nice host, felt like we were family. Easy online check in. Street parking

Kind an helping staff. Clean rooms. Close to the old town. Would recommend for short stays in Malaga.
The room was perfect for my solo stay. The hotel is perfectly located next to anything you could want to walk to. The host gave me great recommendations for meals and sights. He was accommodating to my arrival time and everything went as smooth as could be. I’ll definitely return.
Pretty and very characterful traditional home. Our room was interesting—pretty Moroccan style furnishings such as a painted ceramic sink. Quite small but adequate, though the bed was against the wall so one person had to climb over the other to get out. Alright if you’re young but one of us is in our 70’s.
A door on the toilet would have been much appreciated.
Tea making was provided in a common area but not before 8:30 am which is quite late to wait for a cup of drink in the morning!
Overall it seemed a bit pricy for the accommodation.
The owner was very nice and helpful.
Excellent location, walkable distance to attractions. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Quiet neighborhood and courtyard, the street is for pedestrians only. Easy check-in and check-out.
Lovely stay with a great host, very responsive and willing to help where they can; great location and close to the beach and plenty of great food spots. Would visit again!
Property was nice, street outside was not great. The guy who greeted us was a bit off. Didn’t want to be there or seemed bothered and agitated with work in general. Might have been the owner, but he is very short tempered. Everyone has bad days, but running a hospitality business, attitude is key. And this is coming from being in the business for 20 years.
A great place to stay- stayed for 3 days. Owner is very nice - helped me with luggage issue I had With airport. Each room is unique. It was once a house so not hotel room size rooms but very personalized.
Gerard is super friendly and the hotel is BEAUTIFUL. Perfect walking distance to restaurants, sight seeing, and the beach. As a group of young women, we felt extremely safe. There’s air conditioning in the room and a coffee station downstairs. There’s even an adorable ragdoll cat that roams the hotel - it felt like a movie. Couldn’t say a bad word about this place. My go-to recommendation for anyone’s stay in Malaga.
Excellent for the price. Great location and friendly receptionist. A bit rustic and quirky. Some people might want a fancy hotel, pay more and get one. This place was perfect for us!
