Directions

From Malaga Airport (AGP):
Distance to Hotel Astoria is 7 kilometres, approximately 15 minutes' drive.

Getting there. Trains run between the airport train station and central Malaga station, 700 metres from the hotel, every 30 minutes. Tickets are approximately 2 EUR. The number 19 bus runs every 30 minutes to Malaga's city bus terminal. Tickets cost 1 EUR. There is a taxi rank outside the airport terminal. Fares are approximately 15 EUR to Malaga. Prices are all subject to change.

Getting around. Malaga's main attractions are situated within the city centre and can be easily reached on foot. A cheap and extensive bus service is in operation in the city. The resorts of Marbella, Torremolinos, and Puerto Banus are also easy to explore on foot. Driving is not recommended in the town centres, however, hiring a car is useful for exploring the coast and locations further inland. There is limited transport between the resorts, which are quite far apart.

Good value for money and great location

Make use of the v.cheap and very reliable public transport. We only had a 3-day trip and managed to visit a different beach each day. There's a beach/port, which is a 15min walk away and Torremelinos (30mins) and Fuengirola (1hr) are easy to get to on the Renfe.

Pity that

La Alcazaba is well worth a visit - as are the Botanic Gardens some 4kms. out of Malaga. The journey is possible by bus, but the walk from the terminus takes 15 minutes or so, and I only found the Gardens thanks to the bus driver.

Ideal situation

Try the lamb shoulder and chips at Restaurante Galicia in nearby Calle Cuarteles or maybe tapas at Restaurante Mensula in Calle Trinidad Grund 28, both less than a five minute walk away from the hotel. The main market is closed for massive restoration at present.

super central hotel

My husband and I went on a 4 day break to Malaga. we chose this hotel because of its good publicity and convenient location to the train and bus stations. We planned to travel to Granada from Malaga for a spot of sight seeing. This did not happen because Malaga was so full of museums, historical sights and such a general good feel to the place that we stayed in the town. We did venture to Torremolinos, a 30 minute train ride and a world away, but okay in November. We will go back. Next time we may try to hire an apartment. Although we had the room and the hotel was good we missed the balcony and bottle of wine .
