Ibis Budget Málaga Centro Reviews

Worth the money 💰 great location- walkable everywhere.

The room is very small, but it has everything, suitable for a single person. It is located next to Novotel and a 10-minute walk to the city center. The price is not expensive.

Waited in line for more than 10 minutes to check in

It's centrally located, about 10-15 minutes from Malaga beach and about 20-25 mins walk from malaga bus and train station or buses can be used as well from the station(check online). The hotel itself has a good service, dining area, and a lift. Room was spotless with the TV and kettle. We stayed there in 2016 and again recently in Nov 2018 and both times their service was excellent.

If you know what to expect in an Ibis Budget, you will be happy staying here. Well located, clean accommodation with pleasant staff manning the front desk counters. Nothing much to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel but a few minutes walk / bus rides will put you in the thick of action. Stayed here for a night and was happy doing so.

The location is good. Close to the C1 for the airport (4 min walk, 20 mins on train) shops and the centre of Malaga. Room felt a bit like a caravan. Not one to share with a friend if you value privacy. No where to get changed in private. If you are shy about making noises in the loo this is not the place for you. There’s no lock on the saloon door either. Breakfast was modest- I think I will have it elsewhere in the future but it was ok. I’d stay here again despite the negatives.

Rooms were as small as I thought it would be. Great shower pressure room is clean The only problem is the noise level I was on 1/F I could clearly hear people talking right outside, but I was dead tired so it didn’t bother me Staffs are friendly granted me an early check in at 6am! I dropped my bags before heading to the city centre on the day of check out at 7 and returned at 2…. It’s a shame I forgot her name but she was super cheerful and friendly (she was working i think in the afternoon shift on December 16) she had only 3 letters to her name

Great location, near to the metro station (which leads to the airport) and the city center. Very professional and friendly staff. The rooms are small, basic, but clean and just enough for a nightover. The breakfast was also simple, but fresh and delicious.

I was expecting the worst checking into a 1 star hotel. I had to google afterwards what is classed as a 1 star. What is the criteria ? This hotel is walking distance to the old town. The room was basic but very clean. Good internet, fresh towels, hot shower, air con, good bed, friendly staff. Ticked all the boxes for me. Would 100% recommend

Don't come here for a luxurious stay! I am lucky enough to use this hotel a few times a year either with school or with my wife. Friendly staff, Begoña is always accommodating and kindly get our students to practise Spanish. Room is functional and breakfast is yummy for an affordable price! Fresh fruit available is a big bonus! They also have a chilled free water fountain. Great budget choice in beautiful Malaga.

Staff were pleasantly helpful. Gave us useful information. Room small as expected but very clean. Location of hotel great walking distance from centre of Malaga. Quiet hotel both day and night. Good base to explore Malaga. Stayed 2 nights room cleaned and fresh towels.

Booked here because of a flight time change to a later time we got there at 22.45 check in went well and got offered water from a jar above the breakfast bar the night guy who was very helpful offering us information we were on the 1st floor the room was compact but everything was spotless and quiet.The breakfast was included buffet style the fresh coffee was very nice 6 to 7 minute walk from the Malaga main train station no need for a taxi.The staff were great with us at checkout also

The hotel was clean & as described. Accor Ibis have not invited me to write a review. The purpose of this review is to warn taxi users of our experience. On our 1st visit to the city, I hailed a taxi outside Málaga Centro Alameda Railway Station. My wife & I both told the driver several times that we wanted "Ibis Budget Málaga Centro" & I added "Calle Calvo". Instead he dropped us at the back door of "Ibis Málaga Centro Ciudad", which was the wrong hotel & further than the station from our hotel. The taxi driver was either dishonest (for higher fare) or incompetent (lack of "the knowledge" as it is called in London). Subsequent taxi drivers had no problem with the address or my Spanish.

We booked this hotel in an emergency, as our flight from Liverpool to Malaga had been delayed by 7 hours.We booked it from the airport in Liverpool before we flew out, about 10.30pm. We only arrived at 2:30 a.m. in the morning, after being at Liverpool airport since 1:00 p.m. the previous day. So when we arrived, we were absolutely exhausted. We couldn't book in straight away because the receptionist told us that the system wasn't on, and that it takes a while to boot up again. So we were sat in reception. After about 20 minutes, she said that the system was still down so she would just put us into a room and sort it out the next morning. She put us in the room directly behind reception, and outside of our window was all the refuse bins. Considering with being out so long without any sleep, we were regularly walking up by guests going to reception, and also the refuse bins being emptied right outside of our bedroom window. I accepted this was a budget hotel, so I can't really complain about the amenities. Is that was what you would expect from a budget hotel. Unfortunately, the only hanging space was one hanger behind a fixed mirror that was fixed to the wall. I presume the answer will be, this was the only available room 🤔
