Facing the sea in east Malaga, Hotel Elcano Malaga occupies a building in Andalusian style on Avenida Juan Sebastián Elcano. According to the property, the beach is about 250 m away. It is an option for those who prefer to sleep next to the seafront promenade rather than in the old town.
Location and getting around
The hotel is located, in its own description, in Pedregalejo, the old fishing district in the east. The centre is too far to walk: Malaga Cathedral is about 4.4 km away and La Malagueta beach about 3.2 km, so for those journeys a bus or taxi is best.
María Zambrano station is about 5.7 km away and the airport about 12.7 km. According to the property, the building is outside the low-emission zone, which makes arriving by car easier; check this before your trip, because these rules change.
Rooms and facilities
The shared areas mix wrought-iron and wooden furniture with whitewashed walls and a terracotta facade. There is a glazed terrace and the breakfast is Andalusian-style, with natural products.
According to the property, it has free Wi-Fi throughout the building and bicycle hire, useful for riding the seafront promenade towards the centre. There is no mention of a restaurant, pool or private parking.
Who it suits
- Guests who want the beach and beach bars a few steps away and do not mind taking the bus to the centre.
- Those who like to get around the coast by bike.
- Couples who want to start the day with an Andalusian breakfast.
