Apartamentos Debambú

Apartamentos Debambú Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Apartamentos Debambú, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a pretty standard apartment building from the outside. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This four-star property sits right on Cinteria street in the absolute center of Málaga, and I mean the real center — not one of those “centrally located” places that’s actually a 20-minute walk from everything you want to see.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about location in Málaga — it’s everything, and Debambú nailed it. You’re literally steps away from the Cathedral, the Alcazaba, and all those winding streets full of tapas bars that locals actually frequent. I could walk to the Picasso Museum in about three minutes, which was perfect because I’m the type who likes to pop back to my room for a quick break between sightseeing. The couples who stay here seem to get it too — they’ve rated the location 9.6, and honestly, I can see why. There’s something romantic about being able to stroll to dinner without dealing with taxis or metro lines.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting a proper apartment, not just a hotel room with a mini-fridge. Each unit has a full kitchen with everything you actually need — real plates, decent knives, even a proper coffee maker. I ended up cooking breakfast a couple of mornings because there’s a little market around the corner, and there’s something nice about starting your day with fresh orange juice (this is Andalusia, after all) instead of rushing to find an open café. The living spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile, which I appreciated after staying in too many cookie-cutter hotels.

Practical Comforts

The apartments are well-maintained without being fussy about it. Air conditioning that actually works (crucial in Málaga summers), decent Wi-Fi, and bathrooms that feel modern without trying too hard to be Instagram-worthy. I mean, you’re not here to spend time indoors anyway, but it’s nice when everything just works. The building itself is quiet — well, as quiet as you can expect when you’re in the heart of a Spanish city. You’ll hear some street life, but that’s part of the charm.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the fanciest place in Málaga, but it gets the fundamentals right in a way that matters. The 8.8 rating makes sense because it delivers exactly what most travelers actually want — a clean, comfortable base in an unbeatable location where you can live a bit like a local. You can grab groceries, cook when you feel like it, or just use it as a launching pad for exploring the city. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space in such a walkable neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where you spend your days wandering Málaga’s streets and come back feeling like you’re home rather than just checked into another hotel.

• Borka from Croatia (9/10)

  The location is the best possible. There was enough place for our clothes, in general the size of the room and the bathroom is ok, the space is very well organized. We got shampoo and bath cream in the toilet – two small bottles of each. There were two towels per person, one bigger and one for the face. We asked for new towels on the 3rd day and they brought it. At any time you can ask for toilet paper, the towels and shampoos will be given in the morning when the cleaning staff is there.
