Good location, comfy beds and pillows, mostly nice staff. Rooftop bar is nice and there are a few sunbeds up there too. Cleaners come in every day. Quite close to train station, beaches and old town. The room was smaller than expected - we booked an executive room so not sure what size a standard room would be. Despite numerous messages to the hotel about bed configuration in advance of our stay, they still got it wrong and then were very argumentative with me which I didn't appreciate after a long journey (or ever really). Breakfast is very average for a 4 star hotel and although it's advertised til 1130/12, they don't really refresh it towards the end. Hot food has been sitting there for a long time and pasty/fruit selection is limited.

The hotel was lovely, in an excellent location a short walk from the town and the port. It is a beautiful hotel, very nicely decorated and with a comfortable rooftop bar. The bedrooms were a good size, well decorated and very comfortable, with a coffee pod machine provided - always a bonus - and the bathroom was very well appointed, with nice toiletries. The staff were excellent - very friendly and helpful, and were happy to provide recommendations of places to eat.

There was nothing not to like; there was no rooftop pool, which is something I frequently look for, but that's a small point. Others might like the small gym that is on the ground floor.

This lovely hotel in a fabulous location had such friendly staff from the people at reception to the guys at the bar were all so helpful and kind. Comfortable beds and great decor as well as a really clean and beautifully scented interior. The roof bar was fabulous with good wine at reasonable prices. We had never been to Malaga before, and the food recommendations given to us by the hotel were excellent and non touristy resulting in fab food at a super price. The location was just brilliant five minutes walk from train station but also close to shops. We really will be back.

It was all fab

One of the most beautiful buildings in Malaga with real plants installed for decoration. It’s a real pleasure to see. Also the art inside the lobby and breakfast room are fun and different. It’s a very aesthetic boutique hotel. What I love about this hotel is its location. It’s in a pedestrian only zone in the heart of Malaga, close to the harbour…. so you don’t get any traffic noise and sleep much better as a result. That was amazing and refreshingly quiet!

For a 4 star hotel with such magnificent art and aesthetics I personally found the breakfast selection to be of good quality but a little limited. They had fresh pastries every day, juice, some cereals, fruits, bread and some savoury items but it felt that despite the good quality the choice was more limited compared to other 4 star hotels where I’ve stayed. Also no shower facilities once you check out. In the summer heat, I know I like to shower before I catch my plane back home.

The Mariposa hotel is simply fantastic. We were allowed to leave our luggage early while our rooms were being allocated. Absolutely beautiful room, fantastic bed and furniture. A super clean bathroom with the best shower and toiletries is standard . The hotel is absolutely spotless and a credit to the house team . Fantastic room service. Also the hotel has a very special roof terrace with lovely beds and complimentary towels. A very good value hotel and we’re all planning on coming back soon. Thank you all of the staff , fantastic, friendly people. Kind regards Damian

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mariposa Hotel in Málaga, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel's location is perfect—nestled in a vibrant area, it's within walking distance to both the historic center and the beach, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. The rooms are beautifully designed with a modern, chic aesthetic, and they are impeccably clean and comfortable. The attention to detail is evident, from the plush bedding to the well-appointed amenities. I especially appreciated the little touches, like the complimentary toiletries and the coffee maker, which made my stay feel even more luxurious. The staff at Mariposa Hotel are truly outstanding. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful recommendations throughout my stay, they went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Their professionalism and friendliness really set this hotel apart. The rooftop terrace was another highlight of my stay. It offers stunning views of the city, and it's a perfect spot to unwind with a drink after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day right. Overall, I highly recommend Mariposa Hotel to anyone visiting Málaga. It combines comfort, style, and outstanding service in a way that makes for a truly memorable stay. I can't wait to return on my next trip to this beautiful city!

Central area- convenient to shopping/ marina and main areas. Lovely rooms roomy and comfortablebed. Very clean and towels replaced daily. Very friendly reception staff- all very willing to help. Nothing too much trouble.

Room was too warm and had trouble regulating temperature. Server at breakfast was obviously annoyed when we arrived with 10 mins to go at breakfast. Rolled eyes when had to switch toaster back on. Was very rude. Roof top bar was not well stocked and seemed unprepared for custom in December.

Everything was perfect. Hotel was beautiful - modern yet tasteful, well positioned to the centre of everything but just far enough out to be a little quieter at night. Staff were efficient and super friendly. Breakfast was wonderful - tons of choice, hot and cold, in a lovely dining room. As it was our first holiday abroad in several years because of the pandemic, I indulged myself and my daughter by having a junior suite - worth the bit extra - so lovely, comfy beds, fab bathroom, lounge area to enjoy a bit of downtime (and watch the UK news….huge smart tv with all the uk channels, plus option to link to Netflix and Prime if you want!). Hotel also had a terrace up on the roof which was great for a bit of sunbathing. No complaints at all - highly recommended.

We went on a holiday in Southern Spain with my family and we visited at least 5 hotels of which Mariposa hotel was our favorite. It is in the center of the city, walking distance to anything you need to see, with great communication to all other areas, with lots of places to eat around it. It is clean, easy to get to, there is a parking nearby and in the hotel if you are with a car, it is suitable for people with disability, and has amazing staff. Nikolas at the reception was incredible, super helpful and gave us great recommendations on what to visit and where to eat! The breakfast is also with good variety and many delicious foods to try and there is a rooftop bar with great cocktails as well. Just our favorite hotel and at a good price too, we will return there in the future for sure!

Nothing

Really like the building both externally and internally, instantly recognisable on the street from the plants coming out from the hotel. Service from the reception staff was great. Hotel generally felt very clean. Room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Roof terrace felt very cool and was a great place to relax before going out on the evening.

Only fault was that the bar on the roof terrace was closed both nights we were there despite it saying online that it was open.
