Clean and convenient hotel, easy access to transportation and walkable to most attractions, the only issue is noise past midnight, noise isolation is very bad because you can hear people picking things from trash also the trash removal that starts past midnight, was woken up twice by that once past 1am and once at 2:30am.
Also the flashing red light in the smoke detector above the bed is very annoying.
Otherwise hotel is well located.

The hotel was located conveniently and walkable to a lot of attractions.
Clean and quiet except for night time, after midnight the garbage pickup starts and you can hear the sound of that and people picking stuff from trush after midnight and all the noise from outside.
So sound isolation is vey bad if you are a light sleeper, I got woken up by the outside noise multiple times at 2:00 or 3:00 am.
Other than that the hotel was very clean and conveniently located.
Excellent property, beautiful locations. All good, the only suggestion maybe it will be the one to put an electric towel radiator in the bathroom in order to dry the towels.
Third time staying at this wonderful hotel. It ticks every box for us in when staying in Malaga. Staff are great. The location is great too! So many of Malagas offerings are right there on the doorstep of the ICON. I can’t wait to go back.
Our room was on the first (European second) floor and we could hear street noises into the night even with the window and shutter closed, but other than that, the hotel is very conveniently located and close to everything. The staff are friendly and the room is clean and very comfortable.
A very good hotel but would have been better value with an outdoor patio to relax or even a pool for the price. The room was very clean with very minor quirks - for example, a service form was available but no bag provided for dirty laundry. Bed and bedding were lovely. Really pleasant staff and great easy access to shopping area, port and hundreds of restaurants. Overall a good stay and I would definitely recommend.

Our second visit. Still looks like it has just opened. It’s in a great location and the room, although small, makes good use of the space for those with young children. The problem is that it can be noisy. The walls are paper thin, meaning you hear the guests next door if they’re particularly noisy. And even if they’re not, you can hear every time they use the bathroom. Avoid the ground floor, it can get quite noisy outside as the area has many restaurants and bars open until late. Generally, the location is good as you’re close to the historic centre, port and beach. The staff are excellent and very friendly, even at midnight and dealing with noisy guests.
The room was nice and clean however for a family of four it was somewhat tight with the luggages. The bathroom was a good size , we were on the first floor and we the window was next to a main Street and therefore was a little noisy sometimes in the morning and night overall was a nice stay
What an amazing hotel experience that made me fall in love with Malaga! So nice I wanted to rebook a second trip back next July but the hotel fees aren’t available until a few months later 😂 Only thing I would suggest is the bunk bed corners should be rounded off, my father almost banged his head on the corner. I also didn't realize that my room window would face the indoor corridor area rather than the street, although the issue is minor as the whole hotel is very well-lit it could be mentioned in the hotel room description. All in all, I had a great time. Thank you!
