About
Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport By Ihg
Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport is a 3-star functional hotel aimed squarely at travellers passing through Málaga. It sits 3.7 km from Paseo Maritimo and close to the MA-21 exit, with a bus stop right outside for quick hops to the airport and city centre. The hotel keeps things simple: vending machines, a coffee shop, and a lift cover the basics, while a 24-hour reception adds flexibility for late arrivals.
Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, with tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and either twin singles or a double with a sofa bed. The free breakfast is a frequent highlight, and the family-friendly atmosphere shows in details like children's menus and a grocery shopping service. Parking is available, and no pets are allowed.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining is only average — The breakfast is fine, but the overall dining experience is rated below other aspects; there's a restaurant and bar, but no standout culinary reputation.
- Limited on-site facilities — This is a functional airport hotel—vending machines and a coffee shop rather than a full-service resort. If you want extensive leisure amenities, look elsewhere.
- Not a city-centre location — While transport links are good, the hotel is on the airport road, not in the heart of Málaga. You'll need a bus or car to reach the main sights.
- No pets allowed — Travelling with a pet isn't possible here, which may rule the hotel out for some guests.
