It was in a nice area not far from the beach. Good transport into Malaga. It seemed strange that only one teabag per person was placed in the room and no coffee was available.

The listing said they had an airport shuttle. When I contacted them to arrange this, they said to take a taxi. Since they’re on the other side of town, the taxi was expensive- both ways.

Difficult to communicate as we didnt speak much Spanish, but the staff was excellent and really made us feel welcome. A very short walk to the beach. Super clean. Good value for a simple stay. The road was busy, but was a good trade off that made it simple to use transit and taxi services. Overall was happy to stay there. Small and outside of the city of Malaga is what we were looking for. Thanks Hotel Elcano!!

Cute boutique hotel. Small rooms. Staff doesn't speak English at all. Pleasant and accommodating however when you make contact. Clean rooms. Bathroom door will strike the toilet. Hear all plumbing adjacent rooms. Bed small for us. Good heat and AC. Close to bus stop.

We used the hotel as an overnight stop before travelling to Malaga airport to fly home. Although this hotel is on the other side of Malaga, it is not difficult to reach the airport. The reception desk was open until 10.00. pm. But arrangements could be made for a later arrival. Many restaurants were open along the beach, so there was no trouble finding something to eat. Parking in the street was easy in November, not sure about earlier in the season. There is also a 24 hour car park nearby.

Great hotel
I enjoyed staying the Hotel Elcano. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location is a short walk away from the waterfront, which includes beaches and a range of restaurants, cafes, and shops. Downtown Malaga is a accessible via either bus or taxi, but the local area was attractive and pleasant as well. The wifi was a little slow in my 2nd floor room, but worked better in the lobby area. Breakfast was a little on the light side but still enjoyable.

Cosy B+B in quiet area
Lovely B+B in nice quiet area with good local shops including local supermarkets and pharmacies. 5 minute walk to beach and easy to walk to the centre of Malaga. The local buses are also frequent and the stop is close the to the front of the B+B. Good breakfast and rooms very clean and comfortable. Would recommend for a quiet break.

Nice clean hotel conveniently placed.
Very welcoming and helpful staff. The hotel is very convenient for the beach bars and restaurants. Buses run every few minutes to Malaga city the bus stop is directly outside the hotel. It is on a busy main road but it didn't stop me sleeping!
