Great view from the balcony and bar / restaurant- only downside being that it is a little isolated with few bar and restaurant options in easy walking distance. Plus side- their restaurant was very good and the pool a bonus on a hot day.

The Parador has a spectacular view from where it sits on top of the hill overlooking the city. The views from the dining room & front veranda area are gorgeous & the view of the city from our balcony was lovely too. We could walk down the hill from the parador walking past the castle and Alcazaba directly into the center of the old town. I would definitely stay there again. The staff was very helpful and friendly & one of the front desk even arranged snacks for us early in the morning to take on our hike to the Caminito del Rey because we would be missing breakfast. And we really enjoyed the rooftop pool which had an amazing view as well!

Superb Stay!

Our stay at Paradores Málaga was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautifully nestled above the city, offering breathtaking views of the marina and the Mediterranean. From the moment we arrived, everything ran smoothly —check-in was efficient and welcoming, thanks to the outstanding staff at reception who made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with high-quality bedding that made for a restful night. The restaurant and breakfast staff were equally warm and attentive, making each meal a pleasure with their kindness and excellent service. The location is ideal for those who enjoy a bit of a walk — the city center is walkable, though the hike back uphill can be a bit of a workout. But with views this good, it’s well worth it. If you're looking for serenity, scenery, and superb service, this Paradores hotel is the perfect choice.

This place was beautiful and the views were amazing! Two beds in the room which was perfect for travelling with my sister. Nice grounds and view points close by outside and from balcony! Restaurant and bar on site which was nice. Breakfast included is a great option when booking. There was free parking which was a bit busy sometimes with all the visitors coming for the view points. Very close to the Castle. Can walk to downtown area in about 20 minutes but was a bit steep of a path.

We enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay in this excellent hotel, which is based on a historic building. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. The buffet breakfasts and lunches served from the bar were tasty and varied in choices and options. Views of Malaga from the terrace are the best! Would highly recommend this hotel!

This is our third (but not final) visit. We love the views from this parador. Sitting on the small balcony overlooking the town and the port is magic, especially at night. The rooms are large and well appointed, ditto bathrooms. Reception staff are particularly welcoming and helpful. We enjoy the pool too. It's really convenient for the castle and alcazaba and a pleasant walk down the pedestrian path to town (take a taxi back up!). We had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant too. Service at the cafe can be brusque to the point of rudeness, but it's a nice place to sit with a cold drink.
