Atarazanas Málaga Boutique Hotel

Central for malaga attractions

A bit noisy as central but earplugs did the trick

Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Spacious, clean room , comfortable bed, good shower and city/street view opposite Fish Market, where we went for brunch and watch busy city life go by. We left our bags with Reception after check-out so we could spend the afternoon on the beach and staff were very helpful and accommodating in organising taxis. Really enjoyable overnight stay. Hotel across the street has a fabulous roof-top terrace/restaurant bar and ideal for our evening. Plenty of parking nearby (5-10 minutes walk) - expect to pay @20 Euros/day

No issues

The location was near most of the main attractions by foot. Very easy to get from airport by RENFE train to hotel and only a few stops. The apartment was a good space and air conditioning worked very well. Also the door to apartment and main door to building entrance were fairly easy to lock and unlock (most are not in Europe in my experience).

When I initially booked through booking.com I didn't realize that I was booking an apartment, I thought it was for the hotel. Once I contacted the hotel it was explained that it was an apartment very close by. Wasn't expecting that. The kitchen was super tiny. Not convenient for cooking even basic eggs. I was expecting a bigger fridge being in an apartment. I didn't realize the apartment was on the 6th floor, my preference is on the lower floors. If you don't like getting in a very small elevator(not unusual for Europe)then I counted 100 stairs to reach apartment (which I did the first few days). The reception when we arrived to take us to apartment was very kind and helpful however she was speaking very fast so we were a bit overwhelmed.

Location in city center

1) I checked in on June 25th around 4:30pm, the next morning I received my bank’s alert regarding 4 attempts to charge of Samsung purchase over $2,400 2) I stayed at the room 209. The configuration of the room is so weird especially the bathroom a) no warm/hotwater for shower, b) After taking shower, it is very hard to get out because the distance from the door and the wall is so close and I’m petit size
