“AC Hotel Malaga Palacio distinguishes itself with its rooftop bar and pool, offering panoramic views that capture the essence of Malaga. While the location is superb, placing guests near the Málaga Cathedral and other cultural hotspots, some reports suggest that service standards may not consistently meet expectations, particularly regarding guest prioritization. In my view, the hotel presents a compelling option for those prioritizing location and views, but potential guests should be aware of possible inconsistencies in service.”
