Malaga Centro I

Malaga Centro I Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Malaga Centro I feels like discovering a well-kept secret right in the middle of all the action. This four-star property sits on Plaza de San Francisco, and I mean literally in the heart of Málaga — you can’t get more central than this. The building itself has that classic Spanish charm, but what really caught my attention was how quiet it felt despite being surrounded by the city’s buzz. You know what’s rare these days? Finding a place that manages to be both perfectly located and peaceful at the same time.

Location That Actually Matters

Honestly, the location here is pretty much unbeatable — they’ve got a 9.9 location score, which makes sense once you’re there. You’re literally steps away from Málaga’s main shopping streets, the cathedral is practically around the corner, and the old town’s winding streets are right at your doorstep. What I really appreciated was being able to walk to the Picasso Museum in about three minutes, and the port area is just a pleasant stroll away. Couples seem to absolutely love it here (they rate the location a perfect 10), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having the entire historic center as your backyard.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well, especially if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two. Each unit has its own kitchen, which honestly saved me quite a bit of money — grabbing fresh ingredients from the local market and cooking breakfast became part of the daily routine. The room I stayed in was spacious enough that I never felt cramped, and the windows opened up to views of the plaza below. The decor strikes that nice balance between modern comfort and Spanish character, nothing too fancy but everything you actually need.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll make your life easier — they actually have free private parking on site, which is basically like finding gold in central Málaga. I mean, anyone who’s tried to park in this part of the city knows what a headache it can be. The staff was genuinely helpful too, not just going through the motions but actually offering useful local tips. They pointed me toward a fantastic little restaurant just two blocks away that I never would have found otherwise. The whole check-in process was smooth, and they seemed to really know their neighborhood well.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.3 rating, this place clearly hits the mark for most people, and I can see why. It’s that perfect combination of being right where you want to be without the chaos that usually comes with central locations. You get the independence of having your own space with the kitchenette and everything, but you’re also surrounded by some of Málaga’s best cafés, shops, and cultural sites. The value proposition really works — you’re paying for location and comfort, and you’re getting both without any unpleasant surprises.

Malaga Centro I Accommodations

Reviews of Malaga Centro I

• Elica from Luxembourg (9/10)

  We are a family of 4 (one baby including) and we stayed in the apartment in April.
  The place is comfortable for large families and very clean. It has 3 double bedrooms, of which one is with a bunk bed, two full bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, which we did not use much. The coffee machine is with capsules (Nespresso, Krups). There was a cot prepared for our baby.
  The location is great – right next to the old town and pedestrian zone. The apartment has even a parking available.
  The bathrooms were conveniently stocked on shower gel, soap and toilet paper – something you can not always rely on with rental properties. There were even kitchen paper, cans with cocktail alcohol drinks, a few coffee capsules and water left for us in the fridge to enjoy, which was very nice.
  The check is was quite modern – it happens entirely online via a sequence of detailed instructions. I believe the property is managed by a holiday rental company and they seem to be doing a good job.

• Linde from Netherlands (10/10)

  Great location and a personal parking spot

• Triona from Ireland (9/10)

  Apartment was very spacious and clean with central location in the old town. Plenty of good restaurants, bars and supermarkets on the doorstep. We stayed in the three bedroom apartment which had a main bathroom as well as an en suite in the master bedroom. There were two double rooms and a third room with bunk beds. The bunk beds are a decent size and comfortable. There is a lift for access also. Balcony overlooks a lovely courtyard.

• Gabriela from Romania (10/10)

  Very nice apartment, clean, very close to all atractions, short walking distances, including the meeting points for excursions, in the city center. The kitchen and baths were very well equipped, very comfortable beds and pillows. A quiet apartment in a secured building. Very good communication with the Oledays team, who were very kind. We strongly recommend this apartmen.
