NH Malaga

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. 

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. 

Rooms at NH Malaga, with parquet floors, white walls, and minimal decor, have a modern feel. Rooms have Juliet balconies, and furnishings include wooden headboards and desks, as well as beds that guests rate as comfortable. All rooms come with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. But some guests find the free Wi-Fi slow and complain about the fee for upgrading. Although all rooms are air-conditioned, some can get hot in the summer. Bathrooms have gray marbled walls and floors, magnifying mirrors, and shower/tub combinations. Superior Rooms have coffee- and tea-making facilities, and Suites with two bathrooms and separate living room areas are available. 

The breakfast (for a fee) served at NH Malaga offers a wide variety of items, including fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, pastries, and made-to-order eggs. The on-site restaurant specializes in Spanish fare, and has a cafeteria bar that serves drinks and snacks. The hotel has a small fitness center with cardio machines, hand weights, and a sauna open 24 hours a day. There are 10 meeting rooms available, and the largest can accommodate up to 1,000 people. Garage parking is available for a fee, and the hotel is pet-friendly. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, but it's often necessary to upgrade (for a fee) to get an adequate signal.
