Hotel Costa Malaga

Phil Morton

Bit of a mixed bag review, location is good, staff were all really friendly and helpful. Pool area was fine, our room overlooking the pool was good we had no issues. I felt €21 for the safe was excessive, I understand some hotels charge but frankly it was too high a charge. It could do with either another indoor bar on an evening where you could get a coffee if you wanted one as the rooftop bar doesn't do coffee,( not sure how hard it'd be to put a machine like in the restaurant up there). As there isn't another evening bar other than the rooftop if it rains then nowhere to get a drink in the Hotel. The restaurant was ok but as all plates are cold you end up with at best luke warm food most of the time, when busy the tables that have been used aren't cleared very quickly (not enough staff) so finding a rable can be difficult. The hotel location was close to bars and restaurants so we ended up going out on an evening as drinks were cheaper locally and more atmosphere we ate out a couple of nights as although food in hotel was ok it was usually mostly the same as an example the soup on every night was creamed vegetable! Breakfast was ok but warm plates would be beneficial. If we stayed here again we would only do Bed and Breakfast due to the lack of variety most evenings. Don't get me wrong it was edible food but for me lacked variety.

I've just come back from a week at this hotel, firstly the staff were very pleasent and attentive, they couldn't do enough for you. We did breakfast only and there was always a lot of choice each morning. The sky bar was lovely at night time but would have been nice to maybe have a bit of live music one or two evenings. The pool was ok, the area was shaded which was great for me but if you like to lie in the sun all day you did need to move around quite a bit. I found my room small, I was sharing with a friend and we just didn't have enough space for our things really...no shelf in bathroom and no drawers to put things away, also the hair dryer cut out after a few a few minutes use and you have to pay €21 a week to use the safe. The location was ok if you like to go out for a walk. Make sure to take walking shoes with you! I did contact the hotel yesterday morning after leaving as I had left something in the room but I've not had a response yet.

The hotel is located a bit away from the beach. The common areas are fresh and recently renovated, but the pool and pool area feel too small compared to the number of guests using them. Overall, this is unfortunately not a premium experience. Several things that are usually included come with extra charges here: pool towels require a deposit, the in-room safe comes with a fee, and even weighing your luggage before departure costs extra. The rooms are spacious, but the interior is worn and not very up to date. The balconies are small and practically only useful for drying swimwear, unless you have a pool view. The air conditioning is noisy, and the walls and doors are thin – expect to hear your neighbors. Breakfast is mediocre. The juice tastes more like cordial than juice, the coffee is poor, and the selection overall is uninspiring. The only highlight is the made-to-order omelets. A big plus is the rooftop bar – it’s cozy in the evening, and the staff working there are great. Unfortunately, the entire stay was overshadowed by a serious issue: I got bites during the first night, and after a few days it became clear that it was bedbugs. When I stripped the bed myself, I found both bugs and traces of them. The hotel moved me to a new room, but the handling after that was inadequate. Dealing with bedbugs is a major inconvenience – changing rooms, cancelling travel plans, and having to completely sanitize all belongings before returning home. Despite this, I was only offered one night’s compensation as “goodwill.” What made matters worse was that the hotel between the lines implied I had brought the bedbugs with me. They claimed the beds had recently been replaced, making it unlikely for them to have been there before. This is simply incorrect and shows a lack of knowledge – anyone working with pest control knows that replacing beds alone is never enough to solve a bedbug problem. There is no doubt they were already present. Bedbugs can occur even in reputable hotels, but the difference lies in how it is handled. Professional hotels don’t blame their guests, and they make sure to compensate them fairly. Sadly, that was not the case here. I will not be staying at this hotel again.

Everything you need for a torremolinos trip rooms simply furnished with comfortable beds and an amazing shower. Staff are friendly. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty on offer. 5 min walk into the centre and about 20 minutes to the beach or you take take the lift down to the seafront and up again for 50 cents per person each way. Nice pool area with plenty of sunbeds you can also hire a large bed with a canopy and a bottle of cava included from 30 per day.

Nice hotel and good location-close to the beach- about 10-20 minutes walking. Has a swimming pool. I didn’t understand why it is Adults recommended but it did not bother us even though I did not notice it when booking through a third party app. Their breakfast is very good, rich and generous. Generally speaking I would not consider it 4 stars hotel but I believe in Europe it is considered 4 stars. I recommend this place though, it is clean and comfortable.
