Parador de Malaga. Gibralfaro

This Paradore is exceptional perched on a hillside overlooking Malaga, this setting is equally matched and excels in quality food, staff and rooms, there is a pool for these warm times We always come here and our expectations are always meet by all staff from reception through to the dining - we stay half board, and the household present a quality service at all times - this is why we contuinally return to this parador

Great hotel. So beautifully located on top with a fabulous view. We took the bus or a Uber back and forth to the city, no problem. Could well walk, but the trip is very steep. The breakfast at the hotel was super delicious and delicate, delicious ingredients and great selection. Lunch at the hotel was also super delicious. Very sweet and service-minded staff. Nice small pool area with pool towels. We had some fantastic days and would love to come back. One of the best hotels we have stayed in. The warmest recommendations

Beautiful views. The views of the plaza de toros, sea and Malaga are stunning. The rooms are lovely and big. The reception staff were excellent and helpful. However, if you want to easily get into the centre of town, it isn’t a great location. It is a 30minute walk down. And too hot to walk back. Taxis are about €10. Worth staying there once for the beautiful views, but in future I would rather stay somewhere more central. Service at the bar was incredibly slow. On a Saturday night there seemed to be only 1 person working
