Superb Stay!

Our stay at Paradores Málaga was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautifully nestled above the city, offering breathtaking views of the marina and the Mediterranean. From the moment we arrived, everything ran smoothly —check-in was efficient and welcoming, thanks to the outstanding staff at reception who made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with high-quality bedding that made for a restful night. The restaurant and breakfast staff were equally warm and attentive, making each meal a pleasure with their kindness and excellent service. The location is ideal for those who enjoy a bit of a walk — the city center is walkable, though the hike back uphill can be a bit of a workout. But with views this good, it’s well worth it. If you're looking for serenity, scenery, and superb service, this Paradores hotel is the perfect choice.

Room with a view

Fabulous hotel overlooking Malaga we stayed for just two nights but everything was great. Lovely big room with a balcony overlooking the bull ring and out to sea. Breakfast was good, with both cooked to order items and a buffet with traditional Spanish pastries, meats and cheeses. We walked down into the town each day but caught a taxi back each day (10euro)to avoid the steep hill in the heat.

Breathtaking Views and Thoughtful Hospitality

Our stay at Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro was truly memorable. Perched high above the city, the panoramic views over Málaga and the coast are simply stunning. The service was excellent, with thoughtful touches that stood out — like the picnic bags prepared for our early departure when we couldn’t have breakfast. We also loved the peaceful atmosphere around the pool, which made for a relaxing and scenic experience. A perfect spot for a quiet, elevated getaway.

3 star hotel at 5 star prices- very disappointing

This is a hotel trading on the views from the property, but it’s tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. This is a 3 star hotel at 5 star prices and when you are paying this price you expect services to work but they don’t. The AC doesn’t work and we needed an electric fan to get some level of cooling in our room. The restaurant staff are surly and avoid any eye contact when you try to get something. This hotel is not worth the money they charge.

This was our second time in Malaga. The first time we were walking up the mountain to the castle and I saw this beautiful hotel in a distance. It was my dream to stay there. We returned to Malaga the following summer and stayed here. It was an amazing experience. The hotel is so beautiful, the location is unbelievable- on the mountain, overlooking the sea with a castle as a backdrop. The staff was nice, breakfast with the amazing views is something I will remember for many years to come. Each room faces the water and has a balcony.

The Parador has a spectacular view from where it sits on top of the hill overlooking the city. The views from the dining room & front veranda area are gorgeous & the view of the city from our balcony was lovely too. We could walk down the hill from the parador walking past the castle and Alcazaba directly into the center of the old town. I would definitely stay there again. The staff was very helpful and friendly & one of the front desk even arranged snacks for us early in the morning to take on our hike to the Caminito del Rey because we would be missing breakfast. And we really enjoyed the rooftop pool which had an amazing view as well!

Beautiful location on the top of Malaga Centre. The hotel reception staff were courteous and professional. The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. The service in the restaurant for breakfast was very slow and it wasn’t made clear that hot food was available to order which was a shame as the buffet was quite limited. The service outside terrrace area was also slow, however the staff were very friendly and courteous. Great walk into the old town but it’s very, very steep so may be not ideal for anyone with difficulties walking.

Lovely hotel and room with wonderful views, it’s a 20 minute walk into town but it is up/down a very steep hill which I would not even attempt in the wet! We found the staff in the bar to be pretty unhelpful and unfriendly which was disappointing. Pool area was good but mostly just us round it, so no issue with beds which could easily be an issue at some points, but would stay again
