Hotels near Urban Look, Malaga

Where to start? Bed mattress went up at the bottom of bed. So slept with legs going uphill. Double bed very small. Room very small. Pillows poor. Bedding all mismatched and poor. Furnishings in room scratched and all needs replacing. Small open wardrobe. One chair in room which again all marked and needs replacing. Toilet rolls very poor quality so had to buy more and no toilet brush. Toiletries poor quality. Lighting very dim in room and bathroom. No drinking water after first day. Sun terrace sun loungers dirty from the birds . We were put at the back as was less noisy we were told! We couldn’t open door to street as there was Indian restaurant directly underneath with associated noise and strong smells from morning till late night and their shutters being pulled down at closing time after 12pm woke us up every time. Also waking us was the motorised street sweeper at 1.30 am. Three times while there. Also waking us up every night were drunk people shouting and screaming every single night. And also waking us up were the men emptying the rubbish at 6am and also shouting to each other.. Other than it was clean I do not have a good word to say about this so called hotel. Some of the staff were indifferent without so mush as a hello when walking in. I would never recommend to anyone who values their sleep as we have not slept for the total of seven nights and dreaded going back to the hotel each evening. The photos give this place a serene look but it is far from serene and had we not already paid we would have moved. We paid almost £180 a night for nothing as breakfast was an extra £20. Anyone who says this hotel is ok must have stayed in some poor places. Other people were also complaining about the quality and the noise. Please don’t go as it is truly awful and I would not stay in a Eurostars hotel ever.

The apartment is well located to the old town and sites, with a 20 minute walk to the harbour. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets in close proximity. The apartment was clean and well laid out, with a comfortable bed. Lovely bathroom with rain shower and new finishes. The kitchen is well equipped. The communication and assistance from Coeo is exceptional, quick and very helpful. You can also leave your luggage with them before and after checkout. Would definitely recommend staying here! Only con is that more comfortable pillows are needed.

We ended having our flights cancelled suddenly and had to quickly at 3pm find somewhere to stay . This was available and was read well and 15 mins into the centre from the airport. It was right in the middle in between the shops on 6 floors and nice and modern, greeted by friendly staff. We had a nice room , which despite requesting a double found we had a twin but as we were only there overnight , decided to stay put. Nice black and white decor with a small but nice bathroom with good accessories and good air conditioning. Have had a stroll outside, owing to the frustrating day we’d had we headed to the 5th floor to the rooftop terrace. Scaring the bar staff as we arrived bang on 5pm with no sign of anyone and were trying see if it was open when they appeared not expecting anyone to be up there. It’s a lovely place to see the city overlooking the cathedral ( merrily ring out the bells ) and served lovely cocktails and snacks to keep us going. Surrounded by loads of bars and restaurants ,you don’t have to go far to find somewhere and later on Malaga comes to life and is thriving and lively. We will come back and stay longer next time.

So the good bits first .. Location - edge of town, so cheaper than the centre for everything but also convenient as only 5mins to the tourist part. Staff- Very friendly and helpful Breakfast - we didn’t book but it looked reasonable Improvements needed.. 1) This is not my idea of boutique there are at least 4 floors and over 100 rooms 2) The balcony is Juliette so no room for sitting but you could see the castle, mountains and Cathederal from ours 3) this is not set up for long stays , as you’ll see from the picture I mainly had to live out of my suitcase - no storage for clothes ( I saw previous complaints so did take a few hangers but hadn’t quite factored in NO drawers at all and just a suit hanger thing) 4) no bin in the room 5) most importantly for those with mobility issues ( I cannot do stairs easily due to prosthetics) not all rooms are accessible by lift - this is not shown or explained on the website . I attach a picture of the stairs to access the front rooms. In my opinion this is a great ‘weekend’ or ‘business trip’ hotel but it still has a lot of improvements needed to make it Boutique and good for holiday makers. TOP TIP- visit the ‘authentic Sherry Bar ‘ just round from the hotel - an experience not advertised anywhere but not to be missed !

Very nice 3 star hotel ,in an excellent area to explore Malaga city centre. Small hotel with a lovely terrace on the 4th (top) floor, with seating around small tables and two relaxing loungers. Comfortable bed, plenty of hanging area for clothes. powerful shower within the bath and great black out curtains, with the AC working very well. Free safe as well! The main doors are locked at 11pm, so don't forget to make a note of the entry code! We did not have breakfast and but its not your usual buffet breakfast in a restaurant area. You order and eat on the 3 tables in reception, or take it to the roof terrace or your room. It was around 10 euros each for juice, pastries and coffee, perhaps toast, but I cant be sure. Plenty of local breakfast cafes within 5 minutes walk to eat and people watch in the sun, so up to you as guests. The hotel being 3 star is basic, but in a fantastic area, with everything walkable, so i would recommend and definately stay again when staying in Malaga next.

Located just outside Málaga centre, this hotel is very clean and has excellent facilities. However, if you want to go to the city center, you must use the bus. It took about 20 minutes by bus to reach the city center, and public transportation was easier to use than expected, so I didn't feel any major inconvenience. The breakfast is great and the room condition is good. However, the swimming pool on the rooftop is thinner and smaller than expected, so take that into account.

First the good parts: - Staff is friendly and helps within the limits of their possibilities - Beds are comfortable - Was given a new room when I had concerns about another guest coughing a lot - location Now the bad stuff: - lockers are too small for most people's bags, which are then placed between the beds. I could fit my backpack only because I can dismantle it - curtains only cover half of the frontside of the bed in some rooms - and even if the whole front is covered at the back there is plenty of room for light to come in - the bed construction is not sturdy enough. If the other person moves, the whole bed is rocking - showers and bathrooms aren't clean. I've seen worse, but also way better. - This seems to be hostel for party crowds. Don't go there if you plan not-party-based vacationing or actually want to sleep at night and not during the day, which many people seem to do - people in the hallway and on the street might as well shout in the room. There seems to be no sound isolation. - when staff was alerted (by multiple people according to their own account) that there was a person who seemed infected they didnt seem to talk to that person and ask for a quick test or that he sleep with a mask. Instead they moved me to a different room upon request and presumably filled the room with someone else since they were fully booked. All in all this was by far the worst two nights during my vacation. It was IMMENSELY OVERPRICED considering what the hostel has to offer. I would NEVER come back and not recommend this to anyone. I even considered moving out early, but I couldn't get a connecting train that would fit my schedule.

Cracking place to stay. The location is great, central for everything and we felt very welcome and valued as customers. Our room was lovely, spacious, comfy and clean. Superb service in the bar, excellent cocktails and staff passed on valuable knowledge of best places to eat out in the evenings. The breakfast was very good, if a bit busy and crowded. Tiny sun terrace and pool but this is outweighed by the positives. We will be back. 👍

The hotel is very close to the airport, but the road to the airport is very narrow. I was flustered when I walked on the road to the hotel in the evening. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but the environment is good, and it's close to the sea. It's good for running early in the morning.

We stayed in 4 rooms as a group of 8 friends doing a speedy mini break in Malaga. The standard rooms were set up as twins as we requested and we all very keen and really well appointed. Great water pressure in the shower! All of the front desk staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The hotel is so well positioned for a malaga city break just steps from the Cathedral. We had lunch at Matiz which was tasty and even after a miscommunication due to a translation issue they were quick to correct the problem. breakfast was included and was simple and what you would expect - it would be nice to be offered the hotter options as we didn’t realise we could get those until after we had finished our last breakfast!. Our only real disappointment was on our last evening when we were going out for a special meal and wanted to have a cocktail on the roof top bar. We had left 45 minutes but the waiter (v curly hair) wouldn’t serve us at the bar and insisted he would come to take our order - despite telling us on 2 occasion he would just be 2 or 3 minutes (and serving others arriving after us) , it was 20 minutes later and we still hadn’t had a drink so left to go to our dinner reservation which we would otherwise be late for and had a cocktail there instead. It seemed a really disappointing thing to happen and left us very disappointed given the standard of all the other staff and service at the hotel otherwise. We would defiantly return but perhaps steer clear of the rook top bar.
