Hotel El Riad Andaluz

Hotel El Riad Andaluz is a mid-range hotel at Calle Hinestrosa 24 in the Centro Histórico of Málaga, in Andalusia, Spain, with a design inspired by the riads of Morocco and Andalusia's Moorish heritage. The property is built around a courtyard, which is the central feature and the source of its character, creating a calm interior retreat from the busy streets outside. Calle Hinestrosa lies on the northern side of the old town, a short walk from the Plaza de la Merced, Calle Larios, Málaga Cathedral and the Picasso Museum, all reachable in about ten to fifteen minutes. The Alcazaba and Roman Theatre are a little farther, around fifteen to twenty minutes on foot. The María Zambrano station is about thirty minutes on foot or a short taxi ride, and Málaga Airport is roughly 10 kilometres away. Rooms are offered as Double, Twin, Superior and Family types with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel's guest rating of about 4.6 puts it among the better-regarded mid-range options in the city. The courtyard setting suits couples and travellers who prefer an intimate atmosphere to a large chain hotel. No pool, spa or restaurant is listed in the available data, so guests generally eat breakfast and meals in the nearby cafés and tapas bars of the old town. Service is typical of a small independent hotel, with a personal welcome and local advice on sights, restaurants and day trips to places such as Granada, Ronda and Nerja. Quoted rates run from about €60 to €150 per night, making it good value for the central location, though prices rise in Semana Santa, the August Feria and summer weekends. Visitors should book early in peak periods, since small properties fill quickly.
