The Solymar is a small Hotel one block from the beach. Relatively quiet and easy to reach from the airport. Good connection by public bus into the old centre. Rooms are nice, clean and simple. The Hotel staff is extremely friendly and parking in a secured carpark is available against a small fee. Would definitely use the Solymar again.

We stayed at the Solymar for one night in February en route from Morocco. We paid only 19 Euros for the twin room so weren't expecting great things, but were very pleasantly surprised-the room was simply furnished but immaculately clean, and the bathroom fixtures and fittings were of a good standard. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast (although there is a... More

I turned up without any reservation, purely "on spec". I needed a single room for two nights. I wanted to be in walking range of the centre of the city (the cathedral, for example,turned out to be about 20 minutes walk away) and to be reasonably close to the airport. I was in luck! For 32 Euro per night I... More

We stayed at the Solymar 2days before joining our ship for a cruise, and two days after. The hotel is a little out of town but the hotel staff couldnt have been more helpful they helped out with maps of the local area and told us were to get the local bus. The rooms are basic but very clean the... More

Wife and I stayed here for 6 nights as a base to visit Malaga and surrounding areas. It room and bathroom were clean though compact.

The reception guys were friendly enough but a couple of them lack the standrad of English required to serve non-spanish speaking... More

Nice and cosy hotel - very clean - excellent value for money - friendly staff - very close to the seaside - definitely we recommend it for budget seekers who are after a clean comfortable hotel.

I spent in Solymar one night. It was really nice. I booked a single room some time before my trip. I found it online, and actually in real it's even better than it described. The room was comfortable, with TV, mirror, wardrobe, big bed. Also there was an air conditioning, that was really good, because I needed it. Bathroom was... More

I got stranded at the airport and found this little gem. Its a hostel type hotel in a side street near the dockside of Malaga. Clean rooms with ensuite for 40E a night. Downside is no breakfast (or kettle in rooms but machine downstairs) but plenty of local supercheap cafes close by. Location was good as its quiet and residential... More
