LIVENSA STUDIOS MALAGA FERIA, Malaga

The property sits in a residential neighbourhood about 6 km from the city centre and the Picasso Museum. Public transport is the primary way to reach the centre, with a bus stop a 5-minute walk away and a train/metro station about 10-15 minutes on foot. Buses run every 15-20 minutes during the day, but the last service is around 23:30, after which a taxi to the centre costs roughly 10-12 EUR. For airport access, the train station is a 10-minute walk and provides direct connections. Several supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are within a short walk. The area is considered safe and quiet, but the street immediately around the building can be littered. The location is well suited for travellers arriving by car or using public transport, less so for those wanting to explore the centre exclusively on foot.

Rooms are compact and functional, designed primarily as a convenient base for short stays or travellers spending most of their time out. Each studio includes a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning (with no night mode), heating, parquet floors, a work desk, flat-screen TV, and a wardrobe. The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave, sink, and basic utensils, but there is no hob, kettle, or hotplate. A communal kitchen on each floor provides full cooking facilities (ovens, hobs). The properties are student accommodation, so rooms are generally small - a double bed is available, but the single beds are 1.35 m wide. Some studios have a private terrace. Rooms on upper floors are accessible by lift. Noise can be an issue: doors close loudly, and activity in the corridors can be heard. Road-facing rooms are quieter than those on the student resident floors. Windows can be opened, and external blackout shutters help keep the room dark for sleeping.

Breakfast is available daily for an additional 14 EUR. The on-site café and canteen also offers a lunch and dinner menu with reasonably priced meals. The shared kitchens on each floor provide a space for self-catering, with access to ovens, hobs, and basic utensils; however, utensils cleanliness has varied, so guests who are coeliac or have strict dietary needs should plan accordingly. There are also several restaurants and cafés within a 5-10 minute walk, including options at 0.5-1 km distance. Supermarkets are nearby for stocking the room's fridge and microwave.

The fitness centre is located on the ground floor and is free to use. It includes a range of equipment, adequate for a basic workout. The property also has a shared lounge and TV area, a terrace, and a café area with a garden, providing casual social and relaxation spaces.

The 24-hour reception staff are available for late check-ins, luggage storage (free, before check-in or after check-out), and hairdryer requests. Wi-Fi is free and reliable throughout the building. Paid private parking costs 15 EUR per day and does not require a reservation, although paying on site requires a credit card. Free street parking is often available nearby. The on-site laundry room costs 3.20 EUR per wash and 2.70 EUR per dryer cycle. Housekeeping is scheduled every four days and must be requested by hanging the cleaning sign on the door. The building has a lift and ramp access, and staff can communicate in English. Accessibility options include a person who can communicate in sign language. Payment is by bank transfer or a secure online link; cash is not accepted.
