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.

Great location. Just 2 minutes walk from the beach and restaurants.A bus stop is just outside of the hotel, to take you to Malaga's historical part of the city and shopping area. Room has a big TV, a fridge a teepot and many shelves for storage. Great hot shower. Bathroom has shampoo, conditioner and a hair drier.Breakfast was very good too, starting with youghurts, fruits, toast, pastries , selection of serano ham, salami, different types of cheese and finishing with great cup of coffee. Owners of the hotel and staff are very friendly.

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 😉

Great location in the beautiful area of Pedregalejo, next to the beach. Beautiful colonial house with spacious rooms and bathrooms. Clean and comfy, everything you need for a few nights in Malaga. Super good value for money.

The shower didn't work properly due to being a little old. There was a kettle in the room but only for tea, not coffee. The breakfast opens a little too late (9am), so if you are an early bird you will have to wait and if you are a coffee drinker (vs tea) you will also have to wait.

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.

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.

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.

Very attractive small hôtel. Efficient friendly staff. Room refreshed every day. Bus stop just outside. Beach close by. Supermarket and other shops about 5/6 minutes walk away. Beach side chirinquitos close by. Quieter location outside city centre. I would be happy to have the opportunity to return.

Nothing at all to dislike.

-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.
