HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS MALAGA AIRPORT BY IHG, Malaga

The hotel is the closest accommodation to Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport, adjacent to the MA-21 and MA-23 highways, which provides rapid access to the terminal by car or bus. The public bus line A runs from the airport arrivals terminal every 20-35 minutes from around 06:30 to 23:30 and stops within a 5-minute walk of the hotel; the ticket (around €4) is reimbursed at reception. Taxis from the airport cost a minimum of €15-20, and Uber/Bolt are also available. There is no pedestrian route to the airport due to the absence of sidewalks and the need to cross busy roundabouts and main roads, so walking is strongly not advised. For trips into Malaga city centre, the same bus line A provides a direct connection, reaching the old town in about 15 minutes. The hotel is a short drive from Torremolinos and Benalmádena beaches, and from the MA21 motorway, the rest of Andalusia is easily accessible. Málaga Convention Centre is 4 km away, and Polígono Guadalhorce industrial area is nearby.

Rooms are equipped with air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen satellite TV, a work desk with lamp, a coffee/tea maker, a sound system, and a telephone with voicemail. All have private bathrooms with a bath, bidet, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Family rooms offer a sofa bed, and children under 17 can stay free when sharing their parents' room. Each room has windows that can be opened, and all rooms are non-smoking. Some rooms are wheelchair-accessible with features such as emergency cords, grab rails, and lowered bathroom sinks. Standard rooms are described as compact, making them most suitable for one or two adults with modest luggage; those with larger bags or a family of four may find the space more limited. Road-facing rooms can be subject to noise from the MA-21 motorway, so lighter sleepers may prefer a room on the opposite side. Connecting rooms are available for families needing more space.

Breakfast runs from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, offering pastries, breads, Spanish omelette, cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, toast with tomato/olive oil, juices, and hot drinks. For very early departures, an early-bird snack selection is available from 4:00 AM, including coffee, tea, juice, yoghurt, cereals, and pastries. Dinner is served daily by the on-site restaurant Doña Francisquita, offering Mediterranean cuisine from 6:45 PM to 9:30 PM daily. The bar is open until 01:00. External restaurant delivery to the hotel is available for those seeking alternative dining choices. The hotel also offers a vending machine for snacks and drinks in the lobby.

Leisure facilities are limited to the on-site bar/lounge and an outdoor terrace. The nearest beach, Los Alamos in Torremolinos, is a 5-minute drive or about 20 minutes by public bus. For those seeking active leisure, hiking and a golf course are available within a short distance. Tivoli World amusement park is 12 km away, and Selwo Adventure Park, a safari park with over 2000 animals, is also reachable. The hotel's location along the MA21 gives quick access to the Costa del Sol's beaches and attractions, making it a practical base for day trips.

The 24-hour reception handles late check-ins and offers services such as wake-up calls, luggage storage, currency exchange, and a safe deposit box. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Free private on-site parking is available for hotel guests with 55 spaces (no reservation needed); extended parking beyond your stay costs €5 per night.
