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.

Great view from the balcony and bar / restaurant- only downside being that it is a little isolated with few bar and restaurant options in easy walking distance. Plus side- their restaurant was very good and the pool a bonus on a hot day.

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.

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.
