Eurostars Málaga Hotel

Having stayed in Silken hotels previously I had some expectations about this hotel- having also visited Malaga twice in the past year I had a good feeling about the city. The location is clear on any map but the hotel 'feels' much further away from the city. The immediate neighbourhood is dominated by private residences and the hotel is trapped between two very busy one way roads- add to that the supermarket which effectively shares an entrance with the hotel and you really do feel trapped. The hotel staff seemed preoccupied dealing with large groups of tourists and groups using the meeting facilities. The web site pictures are deceptive (gym is tiny, 'roof terrace' is also very small any only gets sun a couple of hours per day. The free wifi never seemed to work and when it did was painfully slow. On a plus side the spa was OK although overrun with children and the proximity to the 'locals' beach was a relief (5-10 min walk).
