El Cenachero Apartments Malaga

Very happy with these apartments but they are probably best sutied to fairly independent travellers with some Spanish, as the resident caretaker speaks only Spanish.

Could not get in on arrival; had to ask for a front door key that worked. Good price for good accommodation, we had a fabulous week in Malaga, and intend to return.

Nice clean apartment - handy enough location - easy to find. No laundry facilities at all, but no problem getting nearby laundry to do it for us. Very cost effective - would stay there again.

No real issues with apartments however as no manned reception we had to wiat around for a couple of hours on arrival until manager turned up. If you are visiting these apartments then try to arrive about 1pm. Taxi from airport cost 25 - 30 euros

El cenachero apts. are not an hotel in the true sense of the word. Whilst being servicable as self catering apts. even then the facilites are at best basic.There is absolutely no reception service worth talking about, in the 9 days that we stayed there no one checked to see if everything was ok, towells,sheets were never changed and there was 1 no toilet roll provided for the duration of our visit. Being around Christmas I would have thought that there would have been some attempt to ensure that the apt. would have been kept at a suitable temperature this was not the case. On the positive side it was very close to the direct bus route into the city which was very frequent and punctual. There was also a good variety of bars,cafeteria and restaurants close by not to mention shops and supermarkets. This could be a very comfortable and convenient base with a bit of thought.There was no kettle,no spoons to eat a boiled egg and no tea towels to clean anything up.

The only thing which let down the apartment in our opinion was no service at reception. There was no-one available to hand during any time, day or night and upon leaving at the end of our stay we had to just leave the keys on the desk as no-one was there. Please be aware that people booking a double room would be dissapointed. This is definitely a twin with pull down beds in wardrobes, which cannot be pulled together at all.

The apartments were like new, could not falult them, everything you needed was there including heating/air conditioning, cooker,microwave the lot, we had a great four nights there would stay there again.

Quit area but very difficult to find parking, if you have a car.

It was quite a good studio flat, for the money.

we enjoyed our stay in these apartments. extremely easy to get to malaga from here ,just a 10 minute bus ride straight into the centre, we intend to go back again as we both liked El Palo as it was probably the most Spanish resort we have been to recently. the only downside is that the apartments are located at the top of a steep hill and could be a problem for some people

These apartments were a short bus ride from the centre of malaga with plenty small tapas bars near by. They had a large sun terrace and a beach which was massive and we had all to to ourselves nearby. If going the el tintero restaurant on the front is a fabulous sea food restaurant along the end of the back at the far end.

staff were very helpful.
