Malaga Center Flat Cathedral

Malaga Center Flat Cathedral Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Malaga Center Flat Cathedral on Molina Lario, you immediately understand why this four-star property gets such rave reviews. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the Cathedral — and I’m talking about the kind of steps where you can hear the bells chiming from your window. The building itself has that classic Andalusian charm, but what really struck me was how the staff actually responds to messages quickly (something that’s honestly rare these days when you’re dealing with apartment-style accommodations).

The Heart of Málaga

Here’s what you need to know about the location — it doesn’t get more central than this. You’re on one of those pedestrian-friendly streets where locals actually walk to do their daily shopping, not just tourist areas. The Cathedral is right there, obviously, but you’re also a two-minute stroll to Calle Larios for shopping and maybe a five-minute walk to the Picasso Museum. What I loved is that you can grab morning coffee at any number of cafés without dealing with the crowds that hit the main plazas later in the day. Couples seem to get this — they’ve rated the location 9.7, which honestly makes sense when you experience it firsthand.

The Space Itself

The room setup works really well for travelers who want more than just a hotel bed. You get proper living space, which means you can actually spread out your stuff (you know how cramped regular hotel rooms can feel after a few days). The windows face the street, so there’s natural light throughout the day, and the soundproofing is better than I expected for such a central spot. I appreciated having space to store groceries if you want to grab some jamón and cheese from the local markets — though honestly, with so many great tapas places within walking distance, you might not cook much.

Getting Around and Practical Stuff

One thing that surprised me was how easy it is to walk everywhere from here. The port area where you can catch ferries to Morocco? About a fifteen-minute walk. The beach at La Malagueta? Maybe twenty minutes if you take your time. And if you’re flying in, the airport train stops at Centro-Alameda, which is close enough that you won’t need a taxi unless you’re traveling with tons of luggage. Parking can be tricky in this part of Málaga (like most historic city centers), but there are public garages nearby if you’re driving.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that balance between being right in the action but still feeling like you have your own space. You’re not dealing with hotel lobby crowds or fighting for elevator space, but you also have that quick response time when you need something. The 8.4 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s not trying to be fancy, but it delivers exactly what most travelers actually want: a comfortable base in an unbeatable location where you can live like a local for a few days. Plus, there’s something special about falling asleep to the sound of evening conversations drifting up from the street below.

• Helen from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Location was fantastic – central to both the old town and the marina/beaches. Great view of the cathedral and although there were a lot of people about, you didnt hear anything in the apartment at night. Apartment was well equipped for what we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and we would defintely stay here again.

• Jill from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The location of this apartment and the views from it are second to none in Malaga. We never tired of being so close to the cathedral. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped and the hosts were brilliant with their communications. It was very easy to access and we were lucky enough to be able to enter early, before the official check in time. Having two bathrooms was a huge luxury for us as we could have one each, which we much appreciated. Also having a lift, which isn't always something you can take for granted in a city centre block. We had a great stay!
