聖卡塔利娜城堡蘇活精品酒店(Soho Boutique Castillo de Santa Catalina - Adults Recommended)

Charming hotel in a castle. Nice rooms with very comfy bed and premium toiletries. Central courtyard for breakfast and on site parking. Outside of town and a good 20 minute walk to the waterfront and 40 mins into the town centre. No gym.

The room was lovely, the staff in the restaurant was lovely as well. However, the overall service is way too far from a five star hotel. Weirdly, the reception knocked our door in the morning twice without calling on the phone, we were very surprised. When we left, the staff drove their shuttle bus to cut our way which is very surprising as well.

We absolutely loved this place! We were at the end of our trip and wanted a quiet place to relax, read, and eat well! Everything was amazing. Very small hotel in a quiet neighbourhood, far from the noise and with great views. It's a 10-15 minutes wlak to the beach, 30 minutes walk to Malaga, but for us it was absolutely worth it.

Albergo ben tenuto Dalle foto pensavo fosse sul mare in realtà si vede da lontano Bellissimo terrazza per la colazione ottima peraltro Personale disponibile e gentile Prezzo ragionevole per la camera grande e con salottino Sicuramente hotel di fascino

Overall I was disappointed with our stay, considering this is a 5 star hotel. Positives: - the concierge and reception staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for the guests. They really are an asset to the hotel. - the rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day, the housekeeping staff were fantastic - the view from the grounds was lovely - car hire from organised by the hotel was good value and very convenient Negatives: - our room had a view over the carpark and despite booking for a whole week, we weren’t treated to a better position. We weren’t even able to guarantee a double room ahead of arrival, despite enquiring about this. - the aircon was noisy and behind the thick curtains so was only effective with the curtains open at night - the restaurant staff did not offer good service. We had to chase them to take our order every time and were quite rude at times - breakfast was poor value and the terms were a little confusing. The sausages and bacon were poor quality and the scrambled eggs were rubbery - there is no bar, no atmosphere if you just want a drink before dinner - the pool area is tiny and offered no waiter service - the wifi was patchy - the tv was slow and there was no way to connect via Bluetooth or cast from phone - the room had no floor length mirror - travelling to and from Malaga was more arduous than I’d hoped. Walking is a chore after the first couple of times so involves taxis. Even the scooter / bike hire points were a long walk. - local cafes and restaurants in the very close by area weren’t great quality Next time we travel to Malaga we will undoubtedly stay elsewhere, I would definitely not return to this hotel.
