"Great hotel, nice food, nice wines and cocktails, rooms a little basic but clean, pool areas nice, lifts could do with updating as they take forever, good location. Would recommend."

"Hotel Ilunion Malaga is in the perfect location within walking distance of the old city on one side and the beach on the other. We stayed in a junior suite, room 703, and the balcony had a lovely view towards the beach. Breakfast was perfect with everything from cereals, continental style and eggs, bacon, beans, etc. The only negative from my stay was the coffee. In the morning there was always a queue for one of the only two machines available and unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait. Other than that, I couldn't find another fault with this excellent hotel."

"Our experience was ok, a little bit confused about my charge because I paid for a room for two people and this room had two beds and I ended up paying € 20 more for the extra bed that I was in the room. The owner didn’t mention when I booked the room. Other than that this Riad was so cute decorated and also very close to the shops areas."

"When we arrived (after 3pm) our room was not ready so they offered us a different room to the one that was already allocated. We went to the room, the balcony was overlooking a big buzzing industrial machine, as we were booked in for 13 nights we did not want this room as the buzzing noise was too much. We asked at the desk if we could have another room, one that had a double bed rather than single beds (which we'd already requested, by email, a couple of weeks before we arrived) the man at reception said they only has a couple of rooms on each floor with a double bed, he looked on his screen and said we could have a room with a double as he'd found one but it would cost us €130 extra, we asked why, he said it was because we hadn't requested that or a balcony, I showed him my reservation confirmation (that was made 8 months earlier) which confirmed my choice. He said we could have the room but he would drop the extra cost to €65 we had no option but to pay! The room that we had was on the 10th floor, the railing was wobbly which was due to a missing bolt, if anyone had leant hard onto the railing it would have broken away. We told the desk, the staff member didn't seemed bothered so we told another staff member in the morning. The railing was fixed when we were out for the day. There was no apology about the fact that they'd put us in a dangerous room that had cost us an extra €65."

"Upgraded from standard room to pool view which was a nice surprise, comfy beds and large large room."

"Clean, good location, the staff so kind and a full delicious breakfast with mimosas included the best"

"Really helpful and friendly staff. No gym - boo. The restaurant: simply the best food you will EVER have at a hotel of this level, and better than you will get at most 4+ star hotels too. Beef pizza, gyoza, club sandwich, goats cheese salad, draught beer. Just excellent. Very handy for the airport, bit of a drive into town. Rooms as expected for this level: everything worked, it was all clean. Highly recommend."

"Lovely, modern hotel, room refreshed every day, excellent choice at breakfast. Great location."

"Basic hotel ideal for a few nights in malaga close to bus and train station 20 mins walk to the port"
