Alcazaba Premium Hotel

This was the last night of our family trip to Malaga. Unless you want to use the rooftop bar and not get much sleep then I would probably avoid it. The Rooms were OK but it is ridiculously noisy. No good for a young family in my opinion.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It's on a lovely street, albeit noisy until the early hours; it's right by the amazing Alcazaba castle and Roman theatre; a 15 minute walk to the Playa La Marqueta beach; and walking distance to most of the key sites. The negatives: 1. No fridge in the room. I find this difficult to comprehend. It's baking hot in August but no fridge. It's difficult for adults let alone young children. I find it even more surprising that none of the reviews I've read make mention of this. 2. The breakfast is not buffet. The restaurant is called Batik and the hotel has an agreement with them for a limited breakfast. The staff there, while nice enough, have limited English. On each of our three days we were told different things about what was included. They only have one member of staff doing everything. The eggs and omlets were served some 15 minutes after the toast arrived. On our third day they said they ran out of eggs. 3. The walls and ceilings are pretty thin and we could hear people in other rooms. 4. The toilet seat was broken and the shower door was not aligned which meant a lot of water ended up on the floor. 5. We plan to go back to Malaga but I we will find a better, more family friendly hotel which has the basics required, such as a fridge.
