“Pleasantly surprised by Lola”

I didn't spend much time selecting a hotel for my two-night stay in Malaga, and I lucked out by choosing Room Mate Lola. I picked it for its location: it's very close to the train station (which is an easy ride to the airport) and is only a few blocks from the old part of the city. The hotel itself was relaxed, clean, and comfortable. The first thing I liked was that the reception staff sit behind desks instead of more formal checkin counters. They also dress casually. They were fun yet professional. My room was great. There was lots of space, and everything was spotless, particularly the bathroom. The only negative thing was that my room faced the side of an apartment building, so I kept the curtains drawn the entire stay. My favorite part of the hotel is the "chill room" on the first floor. It houses a couple of comfortable sofas and is a great quiet place to read or catch up on email. Note that there is free (and fast) wifi on the first floor but not in the guest rooms.

“A nice surprise”

A surprising and overall well maintained hotel, especially for the price. Most shopping, attractions, shipping port,train and bus station are within a 10 - 15 minute walking distance.

“Nice hotel, poor neighborhood”

No complaints at all with the hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants. Neighborhood is a little seedy, with prostitutes patrolling the streets at night.

“Will stay there again if I go to Malaga”

Good experience there

“Great hotel”

The hotel was very clean, modern and comfortable. The AC wasn't working on the 2nd floor so they changed us to the 3rd no problem.

“Just Right -- A Comfortable Stay in Malaga”

Breakfast was perfect and was quite tasty. The hotel is very clean and located within short walking distances to everything we enjoyed (shopping, eating, drinking). Beach was about a 20 minute walk, not bad at all as you walk through a beautiful park.

“Best. Hotel. Ever.”

Fantastic location. Far enough away from the main street but close enough to walk to everything. Great breakfast (UNTIL NOON!) Nice and quiet. Clean. Barely noticed the cleaners, never intrusive - never knocked on our door to clean the room, they just seemed to get in and out. Walk to the beach was a little far (20-25 minutes) but no big deal. Young girl at the front desk upon check-in was one of the nicest and most accomodating people we dealt with on our whole vacation (wish I got her name). Jose, the young guy at the desk was not quite as helpful (was more interested in what was going on on his computer and barely looked up when you came into the hotel). I actually booked another Room Mate in Madrid (Mario) after staying here. Lola was a way better deal and had a view of the street with a big window. Would definitely recommend this Hotel, once this area is built up more, this hotel will be pricey I think. I would go back tomorrow!!!

“Nice hotel.”

Good location. Clean rooms. Decent breakfast (included). Friendly and helpful staff.

“Great place to stay in Malaga”

Except for the narrowness of the parking (!!), our stay in Malaga was made totally comfortable thanks to this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful; breakfast very nice; the rooms were spacious and clean, the bathrooms modern and pleasant; it seems like the trend throughout Europe nowadays is to skip the complimentary body lotion and provide just one towel per person, but additional ones were available upon request. Walking distance to most of the town and easy access to major routes. We'll be sure to look up Room Mate hotels for future stays.
