Bottom Line

Room Mate Larios is a mid-range boutique-style chain hotel in an excellent location near the historic and commercial center of Malaga. The hotel has 41 spacious rooms and suites with minibars and free Wi-Fi, and some have kitchenettes and balconies. Though there's no full restaurant, there is a breakfast buffet for a fee, a posh indoor bar, and a rooftop terrace bar, but guests complain about it opening later in the season than other nearby rooftop terraces. There’s no fitness center or pool, and parking is located a half-mile away. Guests may also want to check out Hotel MS Maestranza, an upscale hotel with a spa located next to a bullring and within a five-minute walk of the beach.

Oyster Hotel Review

Room Mate Larios

Scene

Stylish, small chain hotel with bold design and Art Deco touches

Room Mate Larios is on a pedestrian street in an attractive corner building with a shoe store on the lower level. Inside, the lobby has a classy feel with a bold black-and-white marble checkered floor, white columns, and long black couches. Fruit-infused water in glass pitchers is a thoughtful touch. The hotel has a stylish lounge area with moody lighting, a long, curved wooden bar and a black piano. Clusters of two-tone black-and-white chairs around pedestal tables provide a spot for guests to sit and have a drink. The hotel is popular with couples, although it should suit solo travelers too, and the seasonal rooftop terrace offers a spot to take in the city views.
