FOUR POINTS FLEX BY SHERATON MALAGA CENTRE, Malaga

The hotel is situated on a dual carriageway, which can be noisy in road-facing rooms, but soundproofed windows help. The train station is a 4-minute walk, offering direct trains to the airport, while the bus station is about 10 minutes on foot. The city centre and main shopping streets (Larios Mall, Christmas lights area) are a 15-20-minute walk. Several cafés, supermarkets and a vending machine with drinks are within a 2-minute walk. For those driving, on-site parking is available but cannot be reserved and costs €15 per night.

Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free WiFi, free toiletries and a small desk or fold-down shelf. Some rooms have a sink located in the main room rather than the bathroom. Storage is minimal - there are no wardrobes or drawers; two metal hooks on the wall serve for hanging clothes. The shower door also serves as the main bathroom door, so the toilet has limited privacy. The bathroom is a wet room with the shower and toilet separated by glass, which means odour and moisture can transfer into the bedroom. Some rooms face the road and can be noisy, but soundproofing is effective in well-sealed rooms. The double rooms contain two single beds pushed together or separate twins; the mattress can be firm and pillows thin.

The breakfast buffet includes bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice. The selection is basic and repeats daily. For hot drinks and snacks, vending machines in the lobby offer coffee, tea, water and packaged snacks at all hours. There are several cafés, restaurants and a supermarket within a short walk - Japanese, Italian, and tapas options are available within 0.5 km.

The 24-hour front desk handles check-in and check-out efficiently and can assist with tour bookings, printing, and emergency advice (e.g., finding an English-speaking dentist). Luggage storage costs €5 per 24 hours and can also accommodate bicycles. A trouser press is available for an additional charge. The hotel has CCTV, key card access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. Housekeeping is provided daily with fresh towels. Accessible parking is available, and the hotel has wheelchair-accessible features: emergency cord in bathroom, lower sink, raised toilet, grab rails, visual aids (Braille, tactile signs).
