Last month I traveled to Málaga and chose this hotel named after Picasso. As the birthplace of Picasso, Málaga is filled with the spirit of this artistic master everywhere, and staying at such a themed hotel feels like a tribute to this city.
Location and Transportation
The hotel location is really excellent, right on the edge of the old town, just a 10-minute walk to the Picasso Museum. There are many restaurants and cafés nearby, making it very convenient to go out for dinner in the evening. From the airport, take the bus to the city center, then it’s just a few minutes’ walk—no need for a taxi.
Room Facilities
I booked a standard double room. The room isn’t particularly large but is decorated very warmly. Several reproductions of Picasso’s works hang on the walls, creating an artistic atmosphere. The air conditioning works well, which is important in southern Spain during summer. The bathroom has a shower with good water pressure and stable hot water.
The only minor issue is average soundproofing—you can hear some noise if the neighboring room is loud. However, most of the time it’s fine and doesn’t affect rest.
Service and Breakfast
The front desk staff are quite friendly and speak both English and Spanish. My Spanish isn’t very fluent, but communicating in English was no problem at all. They also provided a very detailed city map with recommended attractions and restaurants marked.
Breakfast is buffet-style with a decent variety:
| Food Type | Specific Options |
|---|
| Breads | Croissants, toast, bread rolls |
| Beverages | Coffee, orange juice, milk |
| Others | Ham, cheese, fruit, yogurt |
The taste is acceptable and filling. If you want a special breakfast, I recommend going out to find a local churros shop—paired with hot chocolate, it’s truly wonderful. You might also consider checking out Málaga hotel apartments for alternative accommodation options.
Nearby Attractions
The advantage of staying here is the convenience to all attractions. The Picasso Museum is definitely a must-visit, with tickets around 12 euros. Málaga Cathedral is also worth seeing—climbing the bell tower offers a panoramic view of the entire city. The harbor area by the sea is perfect for evening strolls, with many seafood restaurants.
Overall Rating
A hotel with good value for money—convenient location, attentive service, suitable for travelers wanting to explore Málaga in depth. If you plan to stay in Málaga for 2-3 days, this hotel is a solid choice. Price-wise, I booked during the off-season for around 70 euros per night; peak season will likely be more expensive. For comparison, you might also look at Vincci Hotel or other recommended Málaga hotels.
For those planning to visit Málaga, consider this option, but remember to book in advance I recommend booking at least a week ahead, especially during peak tourist season. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments—I’ll do my best to answer.
