Hotel Zeus Málaga is a budget hotel at Calle Canales, 8, in the district beside the María Zambrano railway and bus station on the southern side of central Málaga. The position is practical for travellers who arrive by train or coach, including those taking the high-speed line from Madrid or the airport train, as the station is within a few minutes' walk. The old town, with the cathedral, Calle Larios and the Alcazaba, can be reached on foot in around 20 to 25 minutes, or by a short taxi ride. Listed rates run from about €40 to €85 per night, with a guest rating near 3.8, so the hotel positions itself as a low-cost option for those who need only a clean room close to transport. Rooms are offered as double, twin and triple types, equipped with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. No restaurant, pool or spa is listed, and the hotel's role is to provide simple lodging rather than leisure facilities. The hotel's website is hotel-zeus.com and the phone number on record is +34 952 317 200. The streets around the station are a mix of residential blocks, small shops and cafés, and prices for meals in local bars are lower than in the tourist centre. The Muelle Uno port promenade and the Centre Pompidou are reachable by a roughly 25-minute walk, and the Soho arts district lies on the way to the old town. The service character is basic and functional, appropriate for backpackers, travellers on a budget, families needing a triple room, and visitors in transit between rail connections. The area is quieter at night than the pedestrian centre, though trains, buses and road traffic produce some background noise, and guests who are sensitive to noise may ask for a room facing away from the station.
