Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Sol Malaga Guadalmar places you right on the beach, with convenient access to Malaga city center via the bus stop just outside the hotel, or a quick taxi ride. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which offer stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The buffet breakfast is a hit, and the pool area includes sections for both adults and children; also, the sea is reachable through a gate. Though some have noted that the surrounding area is quieter with fewer immediate options for nightlife, the proximity to the airport is a plus for many.

the hotel's location directly on the beach was amazing. a bus stop is conveniently located right outside the hotel, and taxis are readily available for a short ride.
my room was not ready when i arrived. the beds were also very uncomfortable. the room was supposed to have a view, but it overlooked the middle of the rooftop.

the hotel's proximity to the airport was very convenient (only a short taxi ride). breakfast was great with many options available. i appreciated the access to the nearby promenade for walks and runs. staff members were polite and friendly at all times.
i found the foam mattresses to be of poor quality, made sleeping a bit unpleasant. extra pillows would have helped.
