Las Acacias Hostal Restaurante

The staff are very helpful. My companion had early flight and hotel provided airport shuttle at 4:45 am with packed breakfast. My flight was cancelled (ash cloud issue) and staff was very accomodating. They hooked me up on their delightful garden patio with wifi and hot tea daily. Breakfast served until noon, so could also be used as lunch. Grocery stores and other shopping nearby and beach, plus very easy to get into Malaga on public bus 30 feet from hotel.

The single room is a little shabby, but very clean, bed is a bit uncomfortable for a week's stay. Restaurant noise goes on until midnight and sound carries. Bring your earplugs!

The staff at Las Acacias may not speak excellent English, but they are extremely warm and welcoming. They answered all of my questions (and I had a lot). I stayed in the single room and it was the perfect size for one person -- not very big, but not too small either. The shower was always hot, with great water pressure. The best thing about Las Acacias is, by far, the food. Breakfast is delicious and of high quality -- freshly- squeezed orange juice, a latte, and a crispy piece of toast with whatever you want on it (try cheese and their homemade tomato spread). Do not pass up dinner here. I can recommend the hamburger and the provoleta starter! Easily the best food I have had while traveling. Great value overall.

The restaurant is open until midnight, so if you're hoping to go to sleep early, it can be difficult until all of the guests leave. However, I think it is to be expected in a hostal environment. Also, the hostal is not centrally-located. I actually prefer being in a more quiet, residential area, but you will have to take a (cheap) bus or taxi into the city each day. Allow about 20-30 minutes for this.
