Hampton By Hilton Malaga Martiricos

The rooms were quiet and clean, and breakfast was worth having. It’s only a few bus stops from the centre. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and it’s a very good hotel.

We could walk to pretty much everywhere from here. The hotel was clean, friendly, and basically brand new. Breakfast set us up well before we headed into the Spanish hills on our road cycling bikes. Brilliant place, cheers.

The hotel feels modern, and the staff were really pleasant. It’s a little out of town, around a 25-minute walk to the middle of the old town. Breakfast felt a bit like a canteen, with guests picking up plastic trays for their food. There isn’t enough room around the food area, though. I saw a woman drop her tray this morning. Hilton, please get rid of the trays.

The bathroom was nice, but I regretted not booking somewhere more central. I was in a rush and trusted the Hilton name, and came away disappointed. For the price per night, this place didn’t meet expectations. There was a kettle in the king’s room with cheap coffee powder and tea, which was disappointing too. The bar by the entrance mostly has ready-made juices and soft drinks at standard prices, but you can walk to a supermarket nearby for the same things cheaper. The coffee is cheap stuff, so coffee lovers may be disappointed. Breakfast wasn’t anything special, and the bread was often stale. The location is awkward: public transport stops aren’t right outside, though they’re all within a 10-minute walk. The city takes 25 minutes on foot, so after walking halfway there, using transport feels kind of pointless.
