Rooms are clean but a little dated (but that's not the end of the world). Everything else has been perfect, staff were attentive and the location has calm beaches with what seems to be a larger proportion of locals. Oh, and good food options from Fresh fish on the beach and Asian noodle bars to Burger King and KFC. Thoroughly enjoyed.

During all our trips we booked cheap and more expensive hotels. What did they have in common? They offered a small bottle of drinkable water in the room. Not here!
Only when you book a Superior room you are entitled to have a 0.75 EUR water, otherwise you will be charged 3,50 EUR. So, no matter the scorching temperature, or long trip you have had. You gotta buy your water! No basic hospitality here!
I´m just wondering: Why not increasing the 160 EUR/night room price with 2 EUR and give travellers this feeling of welcome, instead of an unfriendly charge for drinkable water?
When checking at the reception desk they referred to this as "It´s our Policy". I thought Hospitality was the only policy in this business ;-)

Having found this trip via a loveholidays deal, I wasn’t expecting too much from the hotel, but it’s been great. Sea view from the room, right next to a huge park/nature reserve, as well as the beach being across the road. Loads of restaurants and cafes nearby, a 40mins-ish walk down the beach into the city centre. Just ideal for a city-break/beach-holiday rolled into one.
Reception provide beach towels if you are heading to the beach, and all necessities (e.g., toothbrush, paste, shampoo, etc) are provided in the rooms. Staff are all super helpful. Being vegan, I’ve never stayed in a hotel abroad where we could actually order vegan room service - but they have a burger, a noodle dish and a vg pizza on the menu here, so we made sure to order room service for our final meal here.
Already planning our next visit because Malaga has been amazing, and will 100% be staying at the Catalonia again.

A great place to stay. Right next to the sea and a park, bus stop 5 minutes away and metro 7. Lots of restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Nice, peaceful neighbourhood. The hotel itself is very modern with impressive interior and a very lovely, helpful staff. Room had everything we needed, there is also a minibar, which you have to pay for, but everything is very clearly marked, prices are visible, no confusion, which I appreciate. Plety of storage in the room, nice, light design, great views from our room. Ideal as a.quiet retreat after a busy day in the city centre. Loved it. Nothing to fault.

Great hotel with helpful attentive staff. Room was well appointed and spacious with great views of the sea. It a little way from malaga centre but a nice walk along the promenade or taxi outside if required.
