Four Points Flex by Sheraton Malaga Centre
Modern hotel. Overall very good. Rooms adequate for short stay but bathroom small and glass partition meant not much privacy. Could have done with bedside table / drawers. Extra shower mat would have been useful, as washbasin in main room not the bathroom.
