Not for this price

The location is very convenient, the staff is friendly and helpful. There was a smell of sewage in the bathroom at times. The hotel is fine but not on par with the hefty price. You’d expect luxury and it is not.

The Malibar took a payment of over £1000 off our credit card even although we had paid Expedia prior to the holiday. It then took a long time to get the money back . They never refunded us fully as they claimed exchange rates. This cost us a further £100. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL

Well located hotel

Icon is a lovely hotel. I would stay again as the room was smart, clean and had a super comfortable bed with a pillow menu! All the staff were friendly and helpful and the location is spot on. Not noisy, but minutes from the main town. Cafes and restaurants were fabulous and we frequented many in soho. The cathedral was within easy walking distance as were the beaches. Super easy to find from airport. Train was €1.80 to the station, which 10mins away. We ate out so didnt have breakfast. Recommend the local market and Mamuchis

Regular visitors to the Icon Malabar

This was our third year visiting the Icon Malabar. We like the location, the helpful and friendly staff, the lovely rooms and buffet breakfast. The only downside was the outside noise from local bars and early morning refuse collectors but that’s something that is beyond the hotel’s control.

Clean and convenient hotel, easy access to transportation and walkable to most attractions, the only issue is noise past midnight, noise isolation is very bad because you can hear people picking things from trash also the trash removal that starts past midnight, was woken up twice by that once past 1am and once at 2:30am. Also the flashing red light in the smoke detector above the bed is very annoying. Otherwise hotel is well located.

The hotel was located conveniently and walkable to a lot of attractions. Clean and quiet except for night time, after midnight the garbage pickup starts and you can hear the sound of that and people picking stuff from trush after midnight and all the noise from outside. So sound isolation is vey bad if you are a light sleeper, I got woken up by the outside noise multiple times at 2:00 or 3:00 am. Other than that the hotel was very clean and conveniently located.

Excellent property, beautiful locations. All good, the only suggestion maybe it will be the one to put an electric towel radiator in the bathroom in order to dry the towels.

Third time staying at this wonderful hotel. It ticks every box for us in when staying in Malaga. Staff are great. The location is great too! So many of Malagas offerings are right there on the doorstep of the ICON. I can’t wait to go back.
