Carlos V Malaga

I was only staying overnight so that I could take some time being a tourist the following day and I chose Carlos V due to its location, car parking and value for money – a great combination of what a city tourist requires. And I was not at all disappointed. It is a fabulous location virtually adjacent to the Alcazaba, Teatro Romano and Catedral. I arrived at the hotel much later than planned due to a number of “discussions” with my satnav which I eventually turned off. Once I’d ditched the satnav, and with the help of a taxi driver, I found my way to the ayuntamiento and followed the route through the restricted pedestrian areas provided by the hotel and parked the car right outside the hotel entrance. I checked in, was handed the key for the hotel's garage (50 metres away), parked my car and was sitting in Uvedoble Taberna opposite the Teatro Romano with a glass of Ribera del Duero in my hand within ten minutes. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful, my single room comfortable and clean and the ensuite had lovely powerful hot shower. Located right in the centre of old Málaga, Carlos V was indeed a gem of a find.

“Lovely break in Malaga”

Stayed in this hotel a few nights. It’s perfectly situated for all the attractions in Malaga. Everything is in walking distance. Plenty of restaurants around and shops and bars. It’s an 15 minute walk if you want to go to the beach. Our room had A/C and was a good size and it had a huge bath… more

Stayed in this hotel a few nights. It’s perfectly situated for all the attractions in Malaga. Everything is in walking distance. Plenty of restaurants around and shops and bars. It’s an 15 minute walk if you want to go to the beach. Our room had A/C and was a good size and it had a huge bathroom. Twas very quiet although central. Continental breakfast was good with a nice spread. Staff were lovely and really helpful. I’d definitely stay here again.

“Location, location, location”

Hotel Carlos V has a great location. It’s right next to the cathedral and has a Michelin Star restaurant right outside the front door as well as some very good restaurants nearby. Rooms are small but functional. Shower is probably the smallest shower I have ever used though. There is always someone at the front desk 24/7. We had a very good stay.

“Convenient, central, comfortable, limited breakfast”

Comfortable, quiet, very central location, 24/7 reception is very helpful, very handy to have good value private parking nearby, and good clear directions provided (crucial in Málaga’s old town) - but unexciting, and the breakfast’s definitely a let-down (no tostadas - normally almost a standard), … more

Comfortable, quiet, very central location, 24/7 reception is very helpful, very handy to have good value private parking nearby, and good clear directions provided (crucial in Málaga’s old town) - but unexciting, and the breakfast’s definitely a let-down (no tostadas - normally almost a standard), no fresh orange juice, little fruit and poor machine coffee). Disappointing, too, though fairly typical in Spain, not to have any tea or coffee-making facilities in the room.
