Barceló Malaga Hotel

Clean, comfortable & ideal location

Good value for money with excellent location

Hotel fine, great for trains etc. bit noisy outside, and later at night it's pretty busy- I wouldn't recommend the area for solos.

Our family had a pleasant stay! The children were thoroughly entertained by the unique slide connecting the second floor and lobby. The suites were lovely, and the complimentary champagne and candy for the kids was a truly thoughtful welcome. The convenience was unbeatable: the hotel is directly connected to both the shopping mall and the train station, making travel effortless. Furthermore, the staff was friendly and accommodating, especially with our large group—they managed our luggage with ease.

Lovely hotel good walk into centre so had to taxi other than that place was lovely

Brilliant stay. The hotel is excellent with great facilities and the location is perfect.

This hotel offers excellent services and facilities. It would be my first choice for a return stay. It is spotlessly clean. The staff are will do anything to help you. The breakfast and other food options are excellent. It is in a central location with very easy access to trains and taxis. It was my birthday during my stay and they even surprised me with cake and wine put in my room. What more could I ask for.

Clean room, friendly staff, attached to shopping centre & main train station, 15 min walk from Old Town, bus route 3 stop on street outside front door.

Very recommend

The room was on the small side. I am disabled and the shower was such that it got the whole bathroom floor wet.

So close to train station, but absolutely no noise from the trains at all

Very helpful staff. Room had everything you needed. Location make journey from airport and onwards to Granada easy

Nice property, convinient location. Loved the breakfast buffet!!

We had a great stay at Barceló Hotel Málaga. The hotel is very clean, check-in was smooth and easy, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The terrace pool is a nice bonus for relaxing after exploring the city. Two things to keep in mind: parking is €22 per day, and while the location is convenient next to the train station, it’s about a 12–15 minute walk to the old town and around 25 minutes to the marina. That said, the walk felt safe and was easy to do even with young kids (ours are 5, and we managed fine without strollers). Overall, a comfortable, modern hotel with good amenities and great service.

We had a fantastic stay at the Barcelo Malaga. Despite having an issue with a pipe leaking into our room during our stay, the staff were incredibly helpful and proactive in getting this sorted. They kindly upgraded us to a different room as compensation. Their friendliness, kindness and help was outstanding with a particular mention for Nacho who was just the best. We would definitely stay here next time we are in Malaga and have already recommended it to family and friends. Thank you!

This hotel is awesome! It’s a little further out but it’s so worth it for the rooftop pool and bar, the amazing breakfast and the massive, comfy beds. The staff were all lovely especially the guys on the rooftop pool bar and lovely Ivan on reception. The hotel is so easy to get to from the airport as it’s connected to Zambrano station- you wouldn’t know it though as it is genuinely really quiet and calm inside. We’ve never stayed in a Barcelo hotel before now we want to try them all! Oh and there is an actual massive slide connecting the first floor to the lobby and it is joyous!

Very good hotel, good location, nice roof top pool and excellent service.

The hotel is tired and dated. It is convenient for the train station but is a 15 minute walk from the historic centre of Malaga. There are much better hotel choices in the centre. Breakfast was mediocre. I will not be staying here again.

I booked this hotel as an overnight stop before travelling onward by train to Seville. As a solo female traveller arriving on an evening flight into Málaga my priority was safety. This hotel ticked all the boxes. The train from the airport was inexpensive and easy to use. On arrival at Málaga María Zambrano station there is no need to go outside; the hotel is connected to the train station by a well signposted walkway. Even at night the train station felt bustling and safe. There is a supermarket in the train station concourse. The staff at the hotel were very kind. Check-in was fast and I made use of the gym which was open until 11pm. Unfortunately I missed the pool which closed at 9pm. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of options for me following a high-protein diet. I particularly enjoyed the mackerel and the eggs station. The slide was good fun!

Great hotel in so many ways - a pretty and comfortable room with all you could wish for, great breakfast and a hotel with fun design and quirks. The only downside was that the bathroom was quite worn down and not 100% clean. Then the fact that the service in the restaurant at the pool and the restaurant in the hotel lobby was none existent. It was literally terrible. The guy in the pool bar acted as if he had no idea what he was doing and the guy in the hotel lobby bar doesn't seem to know how to be nice to costumers. These two restaurants/bars really brings down the overall experience of the hotel, especially since everything else was great.

Very good service with kind

The room dump ,clean room ,no towels in bathroom

My family stayed during the middle of August and the air conditioning work properly. I called to complain to the staff ab

Excellent facilities but just a few little pointers We had to ask for coffee for the machine, some spots weren’t as clean as desirable the shower tray was leaking a bit, amazing terrace pool was a bit small The parking should have been free Apart from that the rest was perfect For what you get charged I think these pointers should have been better

Very convenient to the train station. The room was excellent, we were in a penthouse type suite. But the wifi never worked well the whole of our five day stay. Management was very receptive and apologetic but could never fix the problem. Lobby was almost always dirty,, but our room was very very clean and nice. Also the hotel is not in a very good neighborhood. Lots of homeless right out front and nearby.

Great location

Very good hotel. I have no negative feedback! Clean and everything is nearby

Pool for cooling bit it needs some renovation. Good airco in rooms, nice breakfast.

Excellent property and excellent customer service by their staff!! Super recommended

Everything. The room was spacious and immaculate. Stash was super helpful and kind.

I chose this hotel precisely for its location, close to all forms of public transport as i have reduced mobility and can't walk far. I would say that it is perhaps best suited to either people travelling for business, or for long weekends, rather than a longer holiday - we were there for a week. i say this primarily because in the entire room there were 2 very small drawers - between 2 people - see photo. having hung as much as we could, had to live out of the suitcase for the week - bedside drawers for things like medication/chargers etc wouold have been good. (First world problems and all that, but bear in mind when packing!). The rainfall showerhead was a bit hit and miss and the hairdryer was a bit temperamental too. Some maintenance is needed around the terrace and swimming pool area - the metal ladder rail came out of its housing as i went to get in the pool - another swimmer said had happened to him too and some of the non slip composite decking is not fixed down too well - potential trip hazard. Pool was lovely and warm. On the plus side, it was good to note that the pool does have some shallow steps at one end and a hoist if needed. All areas of the hotel appear to be accessible which is good and you can also take a slide down from 1st to ground floor! The staff were friendly and efficient and the breakfasts were really good. Direct access into the train station was a real plus for me. I would stay again, but would pack light!

A lovely hotel in a great location for the train station. However, the B heaven bar doesn't open until 12pm, when B heaven opens 9 till 9, which is a little strange?. The inside slide was well used and a novelty, the hotel was modern and staff were friendly, but everything is done at a slow pace so don't expect quick service
