While this is a pretty cheap hotel, you get what you pay for. The "bed" is a board with a thin matress on top, not very comfortable. The rooms are clean but not that big. No tea or coffee making facilities either. Not a great selection from their menus for breakfast of evening meals. But as this is only a 2** hotel you can't expect a whole lot. The hotel is very convienent for visiting the city centre as it's only a few minutes walk to the main street. Staff were very courtious and friendly.

We booked this hotel directly from the Ibis website. We paid €49 (£33) per night as it was a paid in advance booking which attracted a discount.

It is easily reached by train from Malaga airport. Just get off at Malaga Centro (Almeda). It is less than a ten minute walk to the Ibis.

We got a taxi from the airport as it was very late when we arrived. It cost us 20€ plus a tip. We did have two large cases and two bits of hand luggage and I think there is an extra charge for cases.

The room was immaculately clean and had a king size bed with duvet. It was very comfortable. The bathroom doesn't have a bath but it does have a very large shower. Shower gel and hand wash are both available via a wall dispenser. There is only one bath towel for each person, no hand towels, so I would suggest taking an extra towel if you were going to be there for more than a couple of nights.

Cross over the dry riverbed outside of the hotel and wind your way through the narrow streets and you will find yourself in the Plaza de Constitucion. (About 10 mins from the hotel). This runs into Calle Larios which is a good shopping street. The Plaza Merced is just another few minutes away.

I recommend doing the tour on the Bus Touristico (€15 per person) as you can see all the sights and hop on and off at your leisure.

We will return to Malaga as we only had a couple of days and we would like to spend more time there. I would definitely stay at the Ibis Malaga Centro again as it was very reasonable priced and near to all the main areas.

This hotel is a short walk from the Málaga Centro rail station, itself reached easily in three minutes by a connecting train from the city's main rail station. The Ibis Málaga Centro is at a very central location, near the city's main Post Office and a short distance from many municipal offices and businesses. Rooms are clean and quiet, flatscreen television with lots of channels. Free WiFi in room is a real bonus. Breakfast could have been better (only cold dishes, ie. sliced ham, cheese, muffins etc.) All in all a great place to relax and catch up on some work when you're not actually in a meeting.
