Is Hotel Only You worth it? Our review

We were won over by the sleek design of the Only You Malaga hotel, nestled between the historic center and the eclectic Soho district. We were really impressed by the attention to detail in the rooms and the incredible view from the roof-top pool.
Finally, its location close to the Port of Malaga and the Paseo del Parque park, on the border between the beach and the historic center, makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the city.
For us, this is without doubt one of the best hotels in Malaga!

The room

Our room offered a warm, soothing ambience, with subdued lighting, a palette of neutral tones (camel, gray) and noble materials.
We loved the dialogue between the woven carpet, the textured fabric curtains and the leather armchairs, which combined harmoniously. Textile-covered walls, half-lights and industrial-design lamps added an elegant contemporary touch.

A glimpse of a room at the Only You hotel in Malaga

We slept remarkably well in the king-size bed with cotton sheets and appreciated the adjustable lighting system!
Among the little touches we noticed were the Marshall base for listening to music, the Nespresso machine with unlimited pods, and the little straw hat for the pool.
Some rooms also offer pleasant terraces with city views.

The bathroom

We particularly appreciated the ingenious design of the partition between the bathroom and the bedroom, in the form of a ridged wooden partition, allowing the space to be modulated by opening or not opening onto the bedroom. In addition to this design trick, the contrast between the warm wood of the partition and the waxed concrete floor brought a modern touch to the whole.

The bathroom had both a shower and a bathtub, with a separate toilet. We also found hygiene products from the Codage cosmetics brand, plush bathrobes and slippers.

The breakfast

Only You Malaga’s buffet breakfast is a real treat. It features a wide range of sweet products (pastries, cakes, home-made yoghurts in a variety of flavours) and savoury products (local cheeses and charcuterie).
A special mention goes to the corner dedicated to local specialities, where you can savour typical Malaga sweets, such as tarifas, sugar doughnuts, addifctives!

Breakfast at the Only You hotel in Malaga

We also appreciated the attention paid to presentation, with small pieces of natural wood furniture adding an authentic touch, far removed from the standardized buffets of the big hotel chains. In addition to the cold buffet, the restaurant offers hot dishes to order! For our part, we enjoyed scrambled eggs and a fresh juice of the day.

Breakfast at the Only You hotel in Malaga

Last but not least, breakfast was all the more enjoyable with the beautiful view of Malaga, the port and the first rays of the sun.

The hotel’s Sky Bar Lolita is open from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., offering a beautiful view of the harbor and the bell tower of Malaga Cathedral. Note that there are very few seats in this bar, so it’s advisable to arrive early.
