Elcano is a lovely hotel which is 5-minutes walk from the sea. Our room was spacious and comfy and the bathroom was clean and fairly big. The bed was the comfiest we found on our 12-day trip around Andalusia. There was a fridge and kettle in the room. The hotel was quiet and although the staff seemed to speak only Spanish we had no problems communicating. Breakfast is available in the cafe downstairs. We were able to park for free on a street less than 5-minutes walk away. We only stayed for one night since we needed somewhere not too far from the airport but we would definitely like to stay here again and explore Malaga properly.

Breakfast was a bit bland but we had the simple breakfast because we needed to get to the airport, so the full breakfast may have been better.

Hotel Elcano is very well placed - at the lovely road just a few mins from nice and clean beach, with restaurants and cafes. There is fantastic transport as well - the bus stop in just in the front of hotel and you have 3 buses going to the Malaga centre about 15-20mins. There is a big Carrefour in walking distance (10-15mins), however it's better to take the bus for 2 stops when you're coming back with heavy shopping. Hotel Elcano is very clean, staff is kind, although sometimes not speaking English :) Our room was very small and we couldn't change it as hotel was fully booked, however, as we're leaving in the morning and coming back late evening, it was not a problem.. Especially that we had fantastic huge and very comfy bed, as well as good bathroom with amazing shower (great water temperature to set up easily and water pressure like in my dreams!). Overall, it's very good relation of price to the quality, we absolutely recommend it!

The room could be bigger, also, as the reception is closed after 16.00, it would be nice to have some access to cupboard if we need to borrow some cutlery, plate or...corkscrew 😉

Staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Great location, very close to the beach and quiet but easy access to the city center. We had everything we needed (clean room, comfy bed, fridge and AC, kettle, good pressure hot shower, plenty of breakfast).

I was a bit anxious about accessing the property after late arrival as the information about it was a bit unclear, But in the end it was easy and straightforward so no problem.

The owner, Modesta, she was very nice and generous with her advices. She made me feel welcome. Not just like good service but she was also warm and smiling a lot. It seems that she likes travellers 👍🏻 The Terrace is beautiful and the coffee was very good Location is amazing with the main bus that stops directly in front of Elcano ! 4min walk to the beach 🏖️

It was a little bit noisy at night, but not too much either.

This is a smart, little hotel, which is neat, clean and perfect for the quiet break. It has a good location in Pedregalejo, close to the beach with plenty of options for eating and drinking. We particularly enjoyed the exploring the bars in El Palo!!

I can't think of anything, it suited us perfectly well.

Lovely little hotel with very friendly staff, although some had very little English but it really wasn't a problem. Our bedroom was the one shown on the website which was of good size with a large double bed and long pillows, well laid out bathroom. Very good location, close to several beaches with lots of good restaurants nearby. Bus stops to/from Malaga centre just outside hotel - very convenient and excellent value.

We really didn't dislike anything for our six night stay. The breakfast was good, it was served on a tray to your table but was quite similar every morning so became a little boring by the sixth morning but overall great stay.

-The property was spotlessly clean and tidy, and decor was nice throughout. - Comfortable bed and nice, quiet residential location. - Location was great - a short walk to the beach, and a variety of restaurants and shops.

- We arrived at the designated check-in time, and our room was not ready for around another 1.5 hours. - Reception is only staffed until 4pm, so it is difficult to get help with anything after this time.

Had a lovely clean and cosy room. Nobody bothered me and I felt completely safe and secure staying in this lovely hotel. Didn't get to have breakfast as was in the city early in the mornings but the bus was right outside the door. So handy and so clean. Sound proofing was good too considering I was staying in a room at the front of the hotel.

Maybe a kettle for early risers so I could have a coffee in the morning.

Lovely little hotel and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location for the Spanish school close by, the beach, and lots of restaurants on the beachfront. Good bus connections to the centre in a few minutes too. All in all, great value for money.

It would have been nice to have been able to sit in the breakfast room throughout the day, and I had a few issues with the online check-in form. But these are only minor things that could maybe be improved, overall everything was great.

We loved the location of the property. It’s a short walk to the beach, boardwalk and tapas bars and also well situated to take the local bus to Malaga. The bus stop is in front of the hotel. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was excellent and breakfast was good.

The quality of the bath towels was surprising. They ranged from worn and tired to threadbare.
