Apartamentos Libere Malaga la Merced

Stayed in the 3 bedroom, 2 shower with pullout couch so fits 7 people. The one downside is that wherw the pull out and one bedroom are you get alot of noise at night. So no light sleepers in these areas. Everything else was good.

The property is very centrally located, which is very convenient for the guests that wishes to be within walkable distance from the historic center. However, there was no hot water available in the shower any of the days I was there, the A/C did not work at all either. I sent a message to the property and no one ever got back to me on the topic. Recently I received a call from the property claiming that they will charge me a fee because I smoked on the premises, which did not happen. I do not smoke, and I did not have any guests visit me during my one-night stay here. Besides that, there is no reception, so you are not able to hold your luggage at the place before you check-n or after you check out, unless you pay an extra fee for late check that may or may not be available. I travelled all around Spain during this last visit, stayed at 4 different hotels and this has been the worse, the only good thing was the location. I'm very disappointed in their service overall.

Stayed in a Studio at this "Smart" hotel for 7 nights. Pros: Building is at the beginning of a very busy corridor leading into the Jewish Quarter. Taxi waiting area within a few feet. Great location as it is close to everything. Building is secure, although one must ensure that the main door is completely locked after the buzzer. To Consider: Mattress and pillows are of cheap quality - really very thin. Housekeeping did not bother to change the comforter which had a rather large ink stain; comforter did not even have a cover, just the insert. Sheets also had some old yellow stains. Nespresso machine provided, but no pods and sugar. Laundry machine in room but no detergent. There is a restaurant downstairs - it gets really loud at night, even if you are on the other side of the building. The walls are really thin, so you hear everyone walking, moving chairs, having conversations, guests slamming the main door, walking up the stairs, etc. BTW, no staff at the apartment. You need to call them on the phone for everything. Experience: On the day of my checkout, sewage cleaning was going on in the building, but guests were not informed. The entire building smelled so bad. I vomited once and then resorted to spraying perfume into a mask and wore it while I was getting myself ready.

Enjoyed the apartment, the facilities and especially the locaton in the Calle Granada, close to the Plaza de la Merced. Our stay was really nice. Chech-in/out made easy by e-mail. Good value all in all. The only concern was that the apartment had been smoked in earlier. We did not like that smell. Not too disturbing, but the busy streets are loud all night.

never left a review, but just found this entire experience so unacceptable. i requested and paid for late checkout the night before. i heard nothing from the hotel other than my payment was accepted and assumed me late checkout was permitted. i was told 30 minutes before checkout that it was declined… whatever i sorted it out but then my backpack zippers both broke and i could no longer close my bag. the chat function is useless, so i caller. asked for 10 minutes to run down to one of the many stores below and buy a new bag quickly. i was told that i was not allowed 10 minutes and that if i left i would be locked out and my stuff would be thrown out. i left anyway because really i dare you to throw anything out and see how that pans out with the police and court case for a 10 minute extension. for the price they charge for such awful service i do not recommend this place. at best this is a 1.5 star hotel, so if you’re good with that then stay. i’m not.

Very clean, minimally decorated studio with a wonderful bathroom and balcony (where enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine), right in the heart of Malaga. On busy Calle Granada, which is fabulous and terrible, as late at night the street noise of revellers can be quite loud into the wee hours and early mornings you hear businesses setting up shop. Love the church bells. Love the electronic key system. Room could use some coffee pods for the Nespresso machine and dishsoap and sponges!

Modern clean private studio , electronic check in. Download the app and at precisely 3pm your room number and access code appears on the app. Washing machine was useful but no dryer. Contacted for user instructions but was sent a manual in Spanish. So I’m presuming no drying facility which is somewhat unhelpful if only staying a few nights. No where to dry the clothes. The bed was comfortable and air Con good. The only issue was the outside noise which from inconsiderate vendors dragging tables and shouting after midnight packing up. My room was directly next to a courtyard used by bar vendors so extremely noisy. It makes the hotels quiet policy from 10pm hypercritical and a waste of time. I would however stay again because it was super modern and high tech with un intrusive access in and out. You are protected by CCTV which is good oh and there is a lift . Location was great with a taxi rank just on the main road ( near the tunnel ). Train station 20 mins walk

We booked a studio apartment which was nicely decorated, clean and modern. It was located in a great part of town in the old town, near to main tourist attractions and not too far to walk to the harbour and beach. The only thing I wish I’d know when booking is that there is no on site reception or luggage storage, and the only way to communicate is via an online reception chatbot on the Líbere app. When we had a few issues with our stay this method of communication proved to be quite laborious. We had no hot water for the duration of our stay which I was told would be fixed but despite contacting the online reception team via the chatbot everyday and one visit from the online reception team, it never got fixed. The walk-in shower also leaked due to poor design and we had to constantly mop up water. The toilet seat was also broken but once reported via the app was fixed asap. We couldn’t check in until 3pm so booked a secure locker nearby via the Libere app. I didn’t receive confirmation of how to access the locker before our stay and when I couldn’t get a response from the online reception team on the day, I ended up having to pay for a new locker. The online reception team finally sent details through but it was too late by then. The apartments are located next to bars and restaurants so it was quite noisy at night when we were trying to sleep with people talking, drinking and eating outside and proprietors dragging bins around until the early hours.

It is amazing. very clean, eco-friendly. active communication. well-equipped. location is really good.
