“Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport answers a specific need: a functional, family-friendly base near the airport. I appreciate that they reimburse public transport to and from the airport, a detail that speaks to practical convenience. While the bar area seems to need an update, the early breakfast is a real perk for those with early flights.”

the staff was friendly and helpful, i noticed. the free coffee and tea were available all day near the lobby. the to-go breakfast items at 4:30 a.m. suited my early flight plans well.
The taxi to the airport was more expensive than expected for the short distance. I thought it was a bit much.

The staff were helpful at breakfast. I walked from the airport to the place. I missed the last bus. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean.
I booked the hotel for an early flight. It is within walking distance of the airport. I would not recommend walking, especially at night. The walk takes about 30 minutes across roads without pavements.
