Bigger than other hotels
in the area, NH Malaga is an upper-middle-range, chain hotel within a 10-minute walk of Calle Marques de Larios, a pedestrian street famous for its restaurants,
bars, and shops. The hotel has a Spanish restaurant on-site and offers a
breakfast buffet (for a fee) that earns glowing reviews from guests. Its 133 rooms are
spacious with comfortable beds, but the hotel has no swimming pool, and the fitness
center, which has about a dozen cardio machines, hand weights, and a sauna, is small. With 10 conference rooms, the hotel might suit business
travelers, but some guests have complained that the free Wi-Fi is inadequate, and that it's necessary to upgrade for a fee. Travelers set on a pool could try the neighboring Hotel Molina Lario.
Scene
Chain hotel with outdoor seating areas and sleek lobby
NH Malaga is in a modern brick building overlooking the
dry paved riverbed of the Guadalmedina River. Large photos on an outer
wall create a backdrop for the seating area made up of funky white chairs and
tables, and a large patio with small
trees has covered seating available in case the weather isn't cooperating. Inside, the lobby exudes an efficient, business-style vibe with a revolving door, steel elevators, and a large screen
announcing the weather and other news. Seating is available on purple
couches. The breakfast buffet is served in a long room with parquet floors, and guests say the meal offers a tasty assortment
of food and no crowds, making it quite enjoyable. There’s also a cafeteria lounge with a small bar and
gray chairs with glass tables, where guests can have a drink or a snack.
Location
Near the historic and commercial center of Malaga
NH Malaga is located near the historic and commercial
center of Malaga, within a 10-minute walk from Calle Marques de Larios, a pedestrian
street famous for its shops, bars, and restaurants. The Picasso Museum and
Malaga Cathedral are both within a 15-minute walk, and it's a 10-minute drive to the beach, and a 20-minute drive to Malaga Airport. It's less than a 10-minute walk to the central train station, so the
airport can also be reached within a half hour on public transportation.
