Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Sol By Melia Malaga Guadalmar Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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 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.
