Barceló Malaga
Not the best views but right next to the railway station so very handy for the airport (via the train), shops in Vialia shopping centre and the port and historic centre (15 minutes’ walk away). Good-value family rooms (2 connecting) and kids will love the long slide that takes you from the first floor to the ground floor. Superior rooms come with Jacuzzi bath.
Breakfast €10 if you pay in advance (€16 otherwise).
