INMálaga Penthouse Santos Suites Overview
First Impressions
Walking into INMálaga Penthouse Santos Suites, you immediately get that “this is special” feeling — and honestly, it’s not just the penthouse name doing the talking. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Málaga Centro, and I mean really in the heart of it. You’re on Calle Moreno Carbonero, which might not ring a bell if you’re new to the city, but trust me, it’s one of those streets where you can actually walk to everything that matters.
Location That Actually Works
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re close enough to the Cathedral and Picasso Museum that you could literally roll out of bed and be there in minutes, but far enough from the main tourist drag that you won’t hear street performers at midnight. The neighborhood has that authentic Málaga vibe, you know? There’s a little grocery store around the corner, and the locals actually outnumber the tourists on this particular street. Couples seem to get this place — the rating reflects that, and I can see why. It’s intimate without being isolated.
The Space Itself
The room setup here is what really sets it apart from your typical hotel experience. These aren’t just standard hotel rooms — they’re designed more like serviced apartment, which gives you space to actually breathe. The penthouse concept isn’t just marketing fluff either; you really do feel like you’re staying somewhere elevated, both literally and figuratively. The design leans modern but not cold, and there’s enough space that you’re not tripping over your suitcase every time you want to move around.
What Makes It Work
I think what surprised me most was how well thought out everything is for actual travelers, not just Instagram photos. The kitchen setup means you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby Mercado de Atarazanas and actually cook something if you want to — though honestly, with all the incredible tapas places within walking distance, you might not bother. The whole place feels like someone actually considered how people travel today. You’ve got the space to spread out, but you’re not stuck in some sterile apartment complex either.
Why Guests Love It
Look, an 8.8 rating doesn’t happen by accident, especially in a city like Málaga where travelers have plenty of options. What you’re getting here is that sweet spot between hotel service and apartment freedom, right in a location that actually makes sense. You can walk to the Alcazaba in the morning, duck back for a siesta (because when in Spain, right?), and then head out for dinner without needing to plan your life around transportation. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it — and honestly, that’s pretty rare to find.
Hotels in Malaga frame the Costa del Sol, palm-lined marinas, and Picasso’s hometown plazas.

Signe from Latvia (9/10)
The perfect hidden gem in the middle of Malaga. In the city centre, close to shops, the main street, metro. AC was super nice to have in the midst of summer. 10/10, would return for sure! And the host Miguel has perfect English, super responsive. Thank you for amazing holidays!
Andrew from United Kingdom (9/10)
Firstly the location was superb for all the city attractions. The building itself was clean and secure with the lift an added bonus. Th e property itself was very modern in immaculate condition. Everything we needed was in the property and we wanted for nothing. On arrival we in the city we contacted our contact who arrived as arranged. Carlos was polite and very helpful. We would highly recommend the penthouse. Thank you.

Loved the location, apartment was spotless and Nuria was really helpful meeting us to check in. Great facilities in apartment too.
Maris from Ireland (9/10)
Superb location, tucked nicely a bit away from main pedestrian streets but everything walking distance – with great shops, market and cafes around.
Apartment was very clean, fresh and secure. Equipped kitchen and great shower. Secure entrance and lift.
Yes, ceiling is quite low in part of the living room (attic space) but my partner is 6’4’ and didnt find any inconveniences during 2 night stay. Would stay again for a long weekend
