Molina Lario Hotel Malaga

During the process of searching for a hotel in Malaga, I focused on the reviewers ratings and location of the hotel. I was not disappointed one bit. The location was great, central to all the major tourist attractions so we did a lot of walking. We noted taxi's, bus stops, and the hop-on and hop-off bus was also right at the door step of the hotel. The Malaga Port was just across the street with lovely shopping outlets and restaurants. We booked for the classic room as there was a promotion that included breakfast. The room was adequate in size with a large bathroom, very clean. Oh! the best thing for me was the kettle and complementary tea and coffee, topped up every day. A quick note on breakfast, we were pleasantly surprised as the morning menu offered free of charge eggs made to order, spanish churros, spanish toast with melted cheese and salsa this is in addition to the buffet breakfast.....everyone was friendly and made us to feel welcomed.

Really can't fault the hotel. Fantastic location right by the city's old quarter including Cathedral, shopping area and many restaurants. Everything is within walking distance (even the massive department store El Corte Ingles). The sightseeing open top bus stop is right outside too. The room was lovely as we got upgraded to a junior suite for just an extra 10 euros/night. I would assume from the feel of the hotel that the decor standard of all rooms is pretty high. The reception staff were very friendly and fluent in english. No problems when presenting my booking receipt/voucher. House keeping were also prompt and replaced our kettle at 10pm. Breakfast was great. Loads of choice and served until 11am. There is a smart little swimming pool and an extensive tasteful terrace area on the roof to catch a few more rays. There also seemed to be and underground carpark. I would definately book there again if visiting Malaga (which, is in fact, a great city break destination)

Arrived at hotel at 7 AM after long flight from States. Staff was great got, us into a room right away. Staff was very helpful and informative. Breakfast was fantastic. Most of all the hotels location was fantastic. Close to the historic sights, shopping, resturants and beach. We will stay here again for sure......

It is in downtown. room service is perfect. I would like to come back next time and stay longer.

Right in the heart of the downtown area, seconds from the cathedral. The pool was being renovated, but there is a cool rooftop deck. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff is extremely helpful and has great suggestions about restaurants, etc. I had to change rooms in the middle of the night because the AC died, and it was really easy, the staff helped me pack and move. Piece of cake.

I stayed here one night prior to boarding a cruise ship. The hotel was lovely ... clean, spacious rooms with crisp bedding and comfortable mattresses. THe cruise ship was just a 5 minute cab ride and within walking distance of the hotel are myriad places to dine, shop, and sight see. The hotel easily gave me a late checkout, and staff were friendly and charming. I'd stay here again in a minute!

Really beautiful hotel. In center of town and across street from cathedral. Rooftop pool has wonderful view of town. All amenities in rooms, safe in room. Converters available, Internet and even library in hotel. Staff super nice.

This Hotel has great location-right in the center and is close to the all the main sights and with a lot of decent restaurants nearby. The room was clean. No luxury, but well organized and perfect for a couple of nights. Breakfast in their cafe was plentiful. You had eggs, bacon, sausages, cold cuts, cheese, fresh fruit, cafe, tea and rolls all to choose from. All staff are extremely helpful and ready to make your stay enjoyable. Free Wi-Fi! Highly recommend the hotel and the city for a short break.

We purchased a Deluxe Room months in advance. We were excited by the photo of a large room with a four poster bed and large windows with french doors. First we were sent to a Standard Room. Then we corrected them, and they informed us the room we reserved had a plumbing issue. They assured us that as soon as it was fixed we could switch. Never happened. I noticed from outside that that line of rooms were all dark all the time. When I asked why, I was told the rooms were being remodeled. We were never told this. We didn't see any construction. I explained that it's misleading to have these photo's posted of this room and listed as available. The front desk guy agreed and even admitted that "a lot of people say that." We ordered room service twice and both times it took forever, was luke warm, and just okay. The bathroom is huge and has great pressure. Complimentary carafe of cognac was greatly appreciated. Staff was friendly for the most part. We never ate at the hotel restaurant because the smoking ban had not kicked in yet, and when we entered it was foggy with cigarette smoke. But that's no longer allowed. Eat at Mi Vino Tinto. It's a short walk and the food is amazing. Malaga is a town to spend three days in at best, and really lovely at Christmas.

Room was fantastic, however at breakfast there was no where clean to sit and there was people waiting for items in the buffet to be topped up which was disapointing.
