Apartamento Plaza Alfonso XII

Apartamento Plaza Alfonso XII Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Apartamento Plaza Alfonso XII, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Málaga” feeling. This four-star property sits right on Calle Luis de Maceda, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. I mean, you’re literally in Málaga Centro — not some tourist bubble version of it, but the actual heart where locals go about their daily business.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot: you can walk to pretty much everything that matters in Málaga. The cathedral is just a few minutes away, and you know what? So is the Picasso Museum. But more importantly, you’re surrounded by those narrow streets filled with tapas bars that tourists never seem to find. The couples who stay here really get it — they’ve rated the location 8.0, and I totally understand why. There’s something romantic about being able to stroll to Plaza de la Constitución for morning coffee, then wander back through the old quarter without ever needing a map or taxi.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting an apartment experience rather than a typical hotel room. The space actually feels like a home — there’s a proper kitchen where you can make breakfast with those amazing tomatoes from the local market (trust me on this one). The setup works perfectly if you want to live like a local for a few days rather than just passing through. I found myself cooking simple meals and eating them by the window, watching the street life below.

Practical Comforts

The apartment is well-equipped without being fancy for the sake of it. Everything works properly — the Wi-Fi is solid, the air conditioning actually cools the place down (crucial in Málaga summers), and the bathroom has good water pressure. You’ll find all the basics you need, plus some thoughtful touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. The building itself has character — it’s one of those classic Andalusian structures that feels authentically Spanish without being a theme park version of itself.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.6 rating and that excellent location score of 8.2, this place clearly hits the mark for most people. I think it’s because Apartamento Plaza Alfonso XII gives you the best of both worlds — you’re staying in a real neighborhood where actual Malagueños live and work, but you’re also within walking distance of all the main sights. The fact that couples particularly love it makes sense; there’s something intimate about having your own little Spanish apartment in the center of this beautiful city. You can grab groceries at the corner shop, cook together, then head out for evening tapas — it’s the kind of travel experience that feels genuine rather than packaged.

  Communication was great and the contact was extremely helpful. The property was very clean, in good condition, well furnished and located within easy walking distance of the center.

• Monika from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The location away from the very Center but close enough. The area felt more authentic not too touristy. The apartment was spacious and well laid out. we appreciated having a courtyard space that was outside in the fresh air. My 5 year old daughter loved having a playground close by. There was no clutter. A lot of shops and cafes in the area too.

• Florica-emilia from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Good location, close to everything, flat exactly like in the pictures , friendly staff

• Steve from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The apartment is immaculately clean & tidy; the bed is very comfortable, the living room is spacious & relaxing & the kitchen has everything that could possibly be required.
  Location is excellent with only a ten minute walk into the historical centre of Malaga including the Cathedral & Picasso Museum etc.
  The management company are amazingly good, offering to support my very late access (I had a midnight arrival time to Malaga), waiting for my arrival to remotely open the external door for me & were fantastic in ordering taxi's for me as required. The company were outstandingly good.
  I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the apartment; comfort, relaxing, very well designed & appointed & location etc.
