Hotel Details

Location

Set in a quiet street near Málaga's train station and old town, the studio offers easy walking access to the city's main sights and San Andres Beach.
The apartment is a 15-minute walk from San Andres Beach, and the train station and metro are within a few minutes on foot, making airport transfers (7 km away) straightforward. The Picasso Museum and Gibralfaro Viewpoint are reachable on foot. A fresh market and supermarket are around the corner, and numerous bars, restaurants and bakeries are within 0.5 km. The location is central yet calm, ideal for exploring the city on foot while being away from the busiest areas.

Accommodation

A one-bedroom studio with a separate living area, private bathroom and a fully equipped kitchenette, suitable for couples or solo travellers.
The apartment includes one bedroom with a comfortable double bed, a living room with a sofa bed, and a bathroom with a powerful shower and free toiletries. The kitchenette is equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, kettle and utensils. Additional amenities include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, minibar, tea/coffee maker, and a washing machine. Rooms are clean, modern and well-maintained, with practical furniture for a short stay. The shared rooftop terrace provides a quiet outdoor space.

Dining

The studio has a full kitchenette for self-catering, with multiple bars, restaurants and a fresh market within a 5-minute walk.
There is no on-site restaurant or room service, but the kitchenette includes a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator and cookware, making it easy to prepare meals. For eating out, the surrounding streets offer a wide choice of local tapas bars, cafes and international restaurants, all within 0.5 km. A fresh market is just around the corner for groceries, and the nearby Mercado del Carmen provides additional food options. Breakfast is not included, so planning ahead to stock the kitchen or visiting a nearby café is straightforward.

Leisure

The studio offers a sun terrace and solarium on the rooftop, providing a quiet space to relax after sightseeing.
The communal rooftop terrace features sun loungers and a solarium, creating a pleasant urban chill-out spot. There is no pool, gym or spa - the terrace is the primary leisure facility. The location's proximity to San Andres Beach and the city centre means guests can easily spend time outdoors. The terrace is described as peaceful and well-maintained, suitable for evening relaxation.
