About

Habitaciones Centro Historico Malaga

Habitaciones Centro Historico Malaga is a guesthouse on Calle Mariscal, in the heart of the old town. It offers basic, practical rooms — some with private bathrooms, others with shared facilities. The property has a lift, key access, and a shared kitchen with cookware and laundry facilities, plus Wi-Fi throughout.

The location is the main draw: the cathedral, main square, and historic centre are all within easy walking distance, and a simple cafe sits on the square outside for morning coffee. Guests can also walk to the Centre Pompidou Malaga in about 20 minutes.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Low overall rating — The guesthouse scores 5.8 out of 10 overall, below the Malaga area average of 8.3, with the weakest marks for value (5.2) and rooms (5.4).
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The shared bathroom double room and the single room option come with communal facilities rather than en-suite, which may not suit everyone.
  • Basic amenities — While the location is praised, several reviews mention the simplicity of the rooms — no mention of a gym or pool, and the property is a small guesthouse rather than a full-service hotel.
