Incredible!!!

Gerard is super friendly and the hotel is BEAUTIFUL. Perfect walking distance to restaurants, sight seeing, and the beach. As a group of young women, we felt extremely safe. There’s air conditioning in the room and a coffee station downstairs. There’s even an adorable ragdoll cat that roams the hotel - it felt like a movie. Couldn’t say a bad word about this place. My go-to recommendation for anyone’s stay in Malaga.

Quiet, clean, well located inn.

Cozy, well located, quiet place. The riad is located in a quiet, pedestrian street, centrally located, but away from loud bars. The rooms are well lit and look much better in person. The place offers beach towels and umbrellas to take to the beach, along with recommendations for breakfast and lunch spots.

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The aesthetically pleasing vitrified ceramic tile flooring and wall treatments were a notable feature. Its convenient proximity to area attractions, restaurants, cafes, and eateries was advantageous. However, the property's location at the end of a street experiencing issues with homelessness and public intoxication presented safety concerns. On the morning leaving for breakfast, human waste was discovered near the entrance. Furthermore, early morning construction noise from the lower level disrupted our sleep. Parking was limited and the spaces were cramped.

Good stay in Malaga

The atmosphere was excellent—old style Arabic/Old Spanish establishment with internal courtyard and rooms with internal windows. A very authentic feel and dare I write, quaint. There was no noise from outside. Internal noise echoed a bit but the other guests weren’t noisy. The bed was spotlessly clean. The shower head needed a gasket to stop the water spraying everywhere except from the shower head itself! The holder on the wall for the shower head itself was too worn out to hold the shower head so I had to hold the shower head or rest it on the taps. The sink plug was fully inserted and to get it out so the sink could drain I had to dig it out with my fingernails. The hotel is close to the town’s restaurants and bars and the Alcazar and Roman Teatro. Excellent. I really enjoyed my stay but the shower and sink need some TLC. Get that fixed and it’s a gem.

A hidden gem in Malaga: Hotel El Riad Andaluz

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel El Riad Andaluz, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The location of the hotel was perfect, very central which allowed me to explore the charming streets of Malaga. The hotel's ambiance was incredibly cozy, with authentic décor that reflected the local culture and a beautiful indoor garden. My room was beautifully designed, kept only in cerulean tones, with an authentic attention to detail. The hotel's owner was exceptional, very kind and always ready to assist with a smile and local recommendations that added an extra layer of enjoyment to my trip. Whether it was providing directions to nearby attractions or suggesting the best spots for authentic tapas. My stay at this lovely hotel was a memorable experience filled with comfort, warmth, and a true taste of Spanish hospitality. I can't wait to return and create more unforgettable memories. If you're looking for a cozy and delightful retreat in Spain, I highly recommend this hidden gem.
