Holidays2Malaga Montesa 700m from the beach Rooftop terrace Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Holidays2Malaga Montesa 700m from the beach Rooftop terrace, you’ll notice it’s tucked away on a quiet side street off the main Carretera de Cádiz — which honestly works in its favor. The building itself is pretty typical for this part of Málaga, but what caught my attention right away was how well-maintained everything looked. You know what I mean, those little details that tell you someone actually cares about the place. The entrance is clean, the signage is clear, and there’s this sense that you’re not just another tourist checking into a faceless three-star property.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s actually brilliant if you understand Málaga a bit. Sure, you’re about a ten-minute walk to the beach (they’re honest about that 700-meter distance), but you’re also perfectly positioned between the historic center and the newer coastal areas. I mean, you can walk to the Picasso Museum in about fifteen minutes, and the main shopping streets are even closer. The couples who stay here seem to get it — there’s something nice about being close enough to everything but not right in the thick of the tourist chaos on the beachfront.

The Rooftop Experience

Now, about that rooftop terrace they mention in the name — this is where the hotel really shines. It’s not huge, but it’s got these great views over the city toward the mountains, and honestly, it’s the perfect spot for an evening drink or morning coffee. You’ll often find other guests up there in the evenings, and there’s this relaxed vibe that develops naturally. The terrace gets good sun during the day too, so if you want to avoid the beach crowds but still catch some rays, it’s ideal.

Rooms & Comfort

The rooms are what you’d expect from a well-run three-star place — clean, functional, and comfortable without any pretense of being fancy. Air conditioning works well (crucial in Málaga summers), and the beds are actually quite good. I was pleasantly surprised by the soundproofing too, considering you’re in the city center. The bathrooms are modern enough, though not huge, and everything feels recently updated. You’re not getting upscale here, but you’re getting solid value and attention to detail that makes a difference.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Holidays2Malaga Montesa apart is that it feels like someone thought carefully about what travelers actually need. The location hits that sweet spot where you can walk to beaches, restaurants, and cultural sites without being stuck in the most touristy areas. The rooftop gives you a reason to hang around the hotel rather than just using it as a place to sleep. And the staff — well, they seem to genuinely want you to enjoy Málaga, not just get through your stay. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere real rather than just passing through a hotel machine.

Reviews of Holidays2Malaga Montesa 700m from the beach Rooftop terrace

  • Hajar from Morocco (9/10)

    For the price i paid i was so impressed with this apartment!

    Genuinely the best deal you can get in malaga and so cheap. It is a great apartment literally equipped with everything you would need ( oven, microwave, tv, ac, fan, bidet, iron, hair dryer..) The bed was comfortable and It is a very clean place with a calm neighborhood (I would say the neighborhood is a bit sketchy but there was security cameras even in the living room which made me feel safe).

    I loved how close the apartment is to many attractions in malaga and to the train/bus station too.

    I do have an issue with getting my security deposit back ( I accidentally paid twice and for some reason they don’t allow cash refund if they’re facing problems with refunding through my bank) so i hope that get sorted out soon

    Overall, It was my first time in malaga and i loved it so much, such an underrated city! I would definitely come back and will definitely book again with holidays2malaga!!

  • Martien from United Kingdom (7/10)

    Perfect location near shops, restaurants and beach and station.

  • Aleksandra from Serbia (8/10)

    We liked that the property was very well equipped, it had everything wee needed for a 7 day stay. We got the new towels after few days. The neighbourhood was nice, quiet, near the beach, also near the city centre, just a 15 min walk. The staff was very nice and always at our disposal – Adriana, Daga, Luis, Elena – great team! Daga helped us take the keys on our arrival day, and fixed the issue wit the collecting key machine, even before we realised we have it, and after midnight. 🙂 Big thanks once again!

  • Niya from Bulgaria (9/10)

    The appartment is very cosy, and beautifully arranged with everything you need. Also in the kitchen, everything is there, utensils and so on.
    The only thing that was not sooo comfortable was the bed, i have back problems and it was not the best mattress for me, but beside this, we would choose this appartment again. Staff was very helpful when we arrived, special thanks to Daga and Trinidad 🙂
    Location just perfect- 3 stops from the airport and 3 stops away from city centre, with metro! Perfekt since it is a quiet neighborhood and yet city center is so near by. We definitely want to come back, we had an amazing time!

  • Phong from Denmark (7/10)

  • Karlis from Latvia (9/10)

    Everything was just as expected. The apartment was a bit tired as most of the rented ones, everything was clean, all appliances provided. Everything was just right. The staff was super friendly and helpful. High speed internet.

  • Agbloe from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great stay staff are very helpful especially Laura..

    My only criticism would be the pillows in the bedroom, double bed with one long pillow. I feel two separate pillows would work a lot better or an option of two separate pillows

  • Vojtěch from Czech Republic (9/10)

    The apartment is located in a quiet location, close to the center and the beach. It was clean, cozy and we lacked nothing. (perhaps just a bigger slicing knife). There are plenty of tapas bars around so don´t worry 🙂
    Both AC and WiFi were working well.

  • Erika from Hungary (9/10)

    The apartment was nice and tidy, close to public transport (metro, bus). To get to the city centre, it's a 20 min walk. There is a very nice park nearby.

  • Julia from Ireland (9/10)

    Lovely apartment, very handy location between city centre and beach
