Elcano

The room was comfortable but really small, air conditioning was good. The hotel is situated next to a busy road but it did not trouble the sleep. (This means that there was a bus stop nearby). The beach was at a walking distance. We could park near the hotel. The service was friendly but the reception lady did not speak English which might be a problem to some visitors.

The breakfast was smaller than we expected but was served really nicely on a tray.

Wszystko w najlepszym porządku, bardzo spokojna dzielnica, blisko do plaży, zdecydowanie tańsze posiłki w lokalach niz w centrum. Można poczuć prawdziwe życie miszkańców.

Trochę za małe pokoje. Mówię o swoim, który był 2 osobowy, no, ale tego się raczej zmienić już nie da :)

After my short family break in Nerja I had headed into the mountains for a day’s meander in the mountains - Benamargosa, Cútar, El Borge, Almáchar etc. - ending the day near Malaga at Hotel Elcano. It was an ideal location in readiness for the next day’s little adventure. The hotel is easy to find on the N340 about 6km east of the centre of Malaga. I’m finally getting used to booking myself into hotels via WhatsApp messages. This one was easy: small lay-bye in front, key box by the front door and straight in. The real problem was, as expected, finding somewhere to park. After four circuits of the immediate area, I eventually found a space on the road just round the back. The hotel is stylish, the room very comfortable. There is a lovely breakfast room and a patio area at the front. The girls at reception in the morning were very pleasant, efficient and helpful. I paid a lot more than I usually do for similar accommodation away from the coast but it was perfect for my overnight stay. Recommended.

Easy to get to from Malaga airport - very comfy bed and late arrival no issue
