We had a great time at Soho Boutique Equitativa during our 4 nights stay. The hotel is centrally located with great views and friendly service. We were ugraded to a room with view (room 801) which was really nice and comfortable. Some things could be improved but will mention them going on, otherwise its a great stay.
Pros:
Location, Location & Location. Couldn't be more perfect than this. Easy to walk everywhere with no need for public transport. We stayed at floor 8. It had only 4 rooms the whole floor. It felt very exclusive and we didnt hear a single noise with great room views. Friendly service in the hotels especially the guy that checked us and big shout out to the breakfast staff. Clean and well kept hotel with a fresh carefree vibe. Toilettries are from "Lalique" and they are high quality. Big comfortable bed with 3 pillows to suit all the tastes. Shower has great pressure in a fully marble room. Coffee Machine in the room and a very big TV screen. Elevators very effecient. Hotel was sold out but still seemed like we are the only ones staying.
Cons:
Pool is small and is not heated at all. I got severe shoulder & neck pain for 3 days after that due to some windy period. Breakfast was a good selection but could be slightly more varied for 4 stars. Room has no tissues and bottled water not replenished. Near bed sockets are not very functional actually mainly USB socket. Room has only one chair, so you cant sit as a couple on baclcony lets say.
Overall, I would come again in a heartbeat as the location is unbeatable with comfy rooms and friendly service. What more could be...
Read moreDuring my stay at the Soho Hotel Equitativa in Malaga, I appreciated the prime location and the quality of the breakfast. However, there were several areas where the hotel could improve to enhance the guest experience.
One significant drawback was the absence of a concierge service. Traveling with children or elderly parents can be challenging, and the lack of assistance with luggage was a noticeable inconvenience. The presence of a concierge or dedicated staff to help with bags would greatly ease the arrival and departure process for guests with additional needs.
Additionally, the hotel missed some basic amenities that are often standard in many establishments, including those with lower star ratings. Essentials like toothpaste, toothbrushes, cotton pads were not provided. These small items, though basic, are crucial for comfort and convenience, especially for travelers who may forget to pack them.
Moreover, the absence of a boiler in the room was surprising. The ability to make a hot drink in the comfort of one’s room is a simple yet significant feature, often found even in 3-star hotels. Its inclusion would add to the overall comfort of the guests’ stay.
In summary, while the Soho Hotel has its strengths, such as its location, it falls short in providing essential services and amenities that contribute to a more comfortable and convenient stay. Addressing these areas would greatly improve the experience for...
Read moreThe location of the hotel was perfect, with the street across leading directly to the Old Town. It was also very convenient for accessing bus, train, and airline routes, which was important for us as we were frequently changing cities during our vacation. We were pleasantly surprised to receive an upgrade to our room.
However, even though we received the upgrade, the room was still quite small. I can't imagine what the original room size would have been like. We had one large suitcase, and if we'd brought another, there would have been no space to open it. The closet was very small, around 50 cm, so we couldn't fit all of our things inside. Additionally, there was no smart TV as we had hoped. While the room had a flat-screen TV, it only connected to local channels, not Netflix.
Another issue was that, as shown in the pictures I shared, the hotel room faced the front of the building, and nothing could be hung outside the window. There was also no place inside the room to dry our swimsuits and towels, so we had to head to the beach every day with damp bikinis and towels.
On the brighter side, the breakfast was tasty, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the bed was very comfortable. Overall, despite the small issues, our stay wasn’t bad, and we were happy with...
