The staff at check in did not speak any English. As the website was english, and no notice of this on hotels.com, I expected them to speak english. I did email the week prior to arrival about the airport shuttle which is on the website but had no reply. Clean hotel otherwise. Close to beach.

It was in a nice area not far from the beach. Good transport into Malaga. It seemed strange that only one teabag per person was placed in the room and no coffee was available.

Difficult to communicate as we didnt speak much Spanish, but the staff was excellent and really made us feel welcome. A very short walk to the beach. Super clean. Good value for a simple stay. The road was busy, but was a good trade off that made it simple to use transit and taxi services. Overall was happy to stay there. Small and outside of the city of Malaga is what we were looking for. Thanks Hotel Elcano!!
