If your flight leaves early or you arrive at night in Malaga, Hotel Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport leaves you very close to the terminals. It is a three-star hotel on Avenida de Velázquez, with parking and a continental breakfast.
Location and getting around
It is at Avenida de Velázquez 294, about a 30-minute walk from the airport (1.9 km in a straight line); with luggage, a taxi is more comfortable. The centre is further away: Malaga Cathedral is about 7.4 km away and María Zambrano station about 5.9 km, so a taxi or car is best. According to the property, the Malaga convention centre is about 4 km away.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms are functional. According to the property, they have:
- air conditioning and heating;
- satellite TV;
- a bidet;
- a free tea and coffee set.
Breakfast is continental. There is parking, which the hotel advertises as free. It also says that it serves hot dinners and that the bar is open until 01:00; these times can change, so confirm them when you book.
Who it suits
- Anyone with a stopover or a first-thing flight.
- Those who pick up a hire car at the airport and want to leave it parked the first night.
- Business travellers with meetings or a congress at the convention centre.
Good to know
You can check in from 14:00 and stay in the room until 12:00. It is not a good base if you want to get around the old town on foot: for that, look at other hotels in Malaga in the centre.
