Top hotels in Málaga Centro
Hotel ILUNION Malaga
Well-located, the Illunion is a ten minute walk from the train station and just ten minutes from the old town area with all its cafes and restaurants. The hotel itself was very clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Málaga Hotel Eliseos
Friendly check in. Basic but decent rooms. Nice pool top terrace. Breakfast for €8 was good, but not a lot of fresh fruit. Location is good, a short walk to the harbour and shops. If you want a nice place to stay on a budget then this is the place
