Plan your stay at El Riad Andaluz

Andalusian-style guest house in Málaga’s historic centre, with an inner courtyard, complimentary tea and coffee, and rooms with private bathrooms and air conditioning.

Room types

The rooms are suited to stays for one or two people, with one option accommodating up to three guests. The selection includes a Basic Single Room, several double room options and a room with an extra bed. All have a private bathroom, shower and air conditioning; they also come with toiletries, towels, a hairdryer and heating.

The differences lie in the layout and space: room sizes range from 8.5 to 11 m². Some rooms have a double bed, one has two single beds, and another combines a single bed with a double bed. The Double Room with Balcony overlooks the inner courtyard, while the single room faces a quiet street. Some room types are on floors accessible only by stairs, which is worth considering when choosing a room.
