Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Malaga
For most travelers, Málaga Airport (AGP) is the practical primary hub; it is the only airport located within the city itself and offers the most efficient, low-cost connection via the Cercanías train directly to the heart of the capital. Travelers looking at other options should note that these facilities are located in neighboring cities. Federico Garcia Lorca Granada Airport (GRX) serves the nearby city of Granada; it is ideal for those visiting the Alhambra first, but requires a longer journey for Malaga-bound passengers. Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) provides a unique gateway in the British Overseas Territory, now simplified by the removal of the physical border fence, though it remains a significant distance from Malaga. Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) and the Ceuta Heliport (JCU) are located in North Africa; these are niche options that typically require ferry or helicopter transfers to reach the Spanish mainland, making them less convenient for standard tourist travel to Malaga.

The staff were very patient. When we checked in and found the heating wasn't working properly, the front desk immediately arranged for staff to help us move our luggage and change rooms. Furthermore, breakfast was available à la carte without extra charge. It's a hotel worth recommending.FromUS$246

The hotel is a little far from the city center, but the beach is just downstairs and across the road, and you can see the sea from the hotel window. It takes less than ten minutes to get to the airport by taxi. The room is clean and tidy, but a little small.FromUS$190

Everything at the hotel was great, especially the staff, who were warm and friendly and remembered guests' names, making us feel right at home. The restaurant was also excellent; both the food and service were a plus. It's not far from the old town (except for the churches and castles, of course), but the old town isn't worth exploring (old towns in Spain are all the same). It's better to spend your time at the hotel; the beach is just across the street, and the street has a similar feel to the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France.FromUS$374

The room was smaller than expected. No balcony. Service on the rooftop was poor. A glass of wine was only given two sips for €5.50. Dinner was served on cold plates, so the sauce under the meat or ”vus kag sl” was cold. The food was cold. The breakfast buffet was subpar. No yogurt buffet, just small cups of yogurt/activa. There was a milk buffet for muesli and cornflakes. This was our first time at a Marriott, but it was also our last. I would not recommend this hotel.FromUS$249

The front desk, restaurant and room service are very good, especially thanks to Jose at the front desk for giving a lot of help and advice.
In addition to going to the airport, even the train station and the bus station to Gibraltar are within walking distance (without luggage). The hotel hangs 4 stars, which is the poor hardware facilities in Seville, Cordoba, Granada four stars, but the service attitude and quality make up for it!FromUS$234

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was just okay. The surrounding area was nothing special, and it was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the airport. Getting around wasn't very convenient; you'll need to take a taxi.FromUS$138

The staff is very friendly and the location is good. I booked a twin room, but they upgraded me to a triple room?? I booked a room without a view, and I understand that there is no view, but the window could not be opened properly. During quarantine during the corona period, the window opens just enough to let in air. Also, there is an opaque sheet on the window, so it feels like I am in a motel, not a hotel. The staff was very friendly, but why,,, again???ㅎㅎFromUS$151

Great location, right in front of the pier and steps away from the pedestrian street. The only downside is that you can't load/unload luggage right at the entrance; you have to drag it from another street.FromUS$275

I like to like it. I like to stay in this castle hotel for the second time. The very textured castle is the real castle 呦 The restaurant can receive the meeting Wedding If the friend is in Malaga, the first choice is to have a car by yourself. After all, at the top of the mountain.Great95 Reviews

Room is large. Have small bar and have a long arm sofa. Bathroom size is not small. It has a separate bath tub and shower room. Bed is comfortable and air conditioning is good, especially in Spain. It's critical. The location is good. We just walk from the Train Station with 15 minutes. Also it is not far away from the old town where there are many restaurants and shops over there.FromUS$176

Hotel location is first class. Across the road from Malaga Beach Park, on the street Molina Lario where Malaga Church is located, the hotel is the same name as the street where it is located. To the west of the hotel is Larios Marquis Street, Malaga's most famous commercial pedestrian street. The hotel is located in the center of the city center. The main attractions are within a 15-minute walk. There are taxis to the train station and bus station. The hotel decoration is very new, but the key is very retro, the hotel's breakfast buffet is not bad, worthy of this price.FromUS$243
