Soho Boutique Bahía Málaga is a practical, good-value base for exploring the centre on foot, in the lively district that Málaga has made its arts quarter. It stands on Calle Somera, at the edge of Soho, where street art and galleries have taken over the lanes south of the old town, and it is a short walk from the shopping on Calle Larios, the food stalls of the Atarazanas market and the harbour. The hotel is a mid-range, four-class property with a rooftop terrace and bar, an inviting place for a drink in the evening, and a buffet breakfast offered at an extra charge. The rooms are modern and simple, with air-conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the hotel is a good choice for travellers who want to spend their budget on tapas, museums and day trips rather than on a grand lobby. It suits couples, friends and solo visitors who like a lively neighbourhood, and it is also well placed for rail and bus connections, which makes early departures for day trips easier.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about five minutes on foot from Calle Larios and the Atarazanas market, six minutes from the port and about eight from the cathedral, so most of the old town is within easy reach. The Soho district, with its murals and galleries, begins at the door, and the Centre Pompidou on the harbour is close by.
La Marina station is about six minutes away on foot, and the María Zambrano station, for trains to Córdoba, Granada and Madrid, is about thirteen minutes. The airport is roughly a thirty-minute drive. Within the old town, walking is quicker than any transport.
The rooms
Rooms are straightforward and modern, with comfortable beds, good air-conditioning and compact bathrooms. They are on the small side, so travellers with a lot of luggage should consider a larger room type. Rooms on higher floors are quieter, and those facing the street can pick up the sound of the nightlife on warm weekend evenings, so ask for a quieter side if you prefer.
Who it suits and good to know: travellers who want a good location at a sensible price, with some style and a rooftop to relax on. The rooftop terrace and bar are a highlight, though they do not open every day, so check when you book if the terrace matters to you. Parking is available for an extra daily fee and spaces are limited, so reserve ahead if you are driving.
Breakfast is a buffet that costs extra, and the neighbourhood cafés are a good alternative. The market is a great place to pick up fresh fruit and snacks for a day trip. Book early for Easter Week and the August fair, when prices rise across the city.
