Hotel Costa Malaga

Andreas Bouvin

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.

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.

I recently stayed at Hotel Costa Malaga By Pierre & Vacances, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. Check-in was quick and easy, which was a relief after a long day of travel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always greeting with a smile and happy to assist with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and just what I was looking for – a perfect place to relax after exploring the city. And the location couldn’t have been better! It was close to key attractions, great restaurants, and had easy access to public transport. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Torremolinos!

Clean, spacious rooms, great location, and superb breakfast. May I add that this is the first ever hotel I've ever stayed in Europe that has a hand-held bidet installed in the toilet! Even the Four Seasons and Ritzes and Mandarin Orientals still don't have that crucial amenity for proper hygiene! So bless you for that ❤️

This hotel is in a perfectly central location for everything Torremolinos has to offer (the shops, pubs, bars, restaurants etc). The reception area, dining area (for both breakfast, lunch & evening meals), the bar area adjacent to the pool area which offers varied seating and sun-lounger options to the stunning roof-top terrace bar are all well-appointed, well designed and attractive spaces. All the staff were very helpful too. Our only gripe was that the air-con in our room could have been stronger, but this really is our only criticism. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation and would readily recommend this place to anyone. It is also adult only so no having to put with others' tiresome kids shouting, screaming, arguing & crying etc. Thanks for a fabulous first stay in Torremolinos! 👍👍 We'll be back!
