This was a family trip to Spain. The rooms were comfortable, reasonably spacious and the staff were attentive. The brunch was ideal for travelers and not to be missed.

Unfortunately I found this hotel to be lacking in value compared to what you pay. The breakfast selection was very sparse and the coffee was undrinkable. Unlike other hotels we stayed in in Spain, children are charged full price for the buffet. On the first day they give you two free waters but do not replenish. For the price I had higher expectations for the food. The room was nice and clean.

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.

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.

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.
