I had a visit with my mother, and all went well except my mother didn't sleep well due to the idiots next door who thought it was fine for them to make noise till 6 am in the morning. It is not the hotels fault. The hotels staff is amazingly nice, they spoke very good english, except for the older male (wich I still liked very much). We slept in the room closest to the reception, and I slept good all the week through! If you are looking for a budget trip to malaga, this is the place to go to sleep. Loved the receptionists! Very helpful people. Thank you Hotel Alameda :)
