Dulces Dreams

Top choice in Málaga


Managed by an enthusiastic young team and delightfully situated in a pedestrianised plaza overlooking a red-brick church, Dulces (sweet) Dreams is a great budget option. The bright, high-ceilinged and whimsically decorated rooms are, appropriately, named after desserts: Cupcake is one of the best. Note that there's no lift, and street noise can be an issue for light sleepers.

Breakfast at the downstairs cafe is healthy and cosmopolitan, with choices including avocado, cheese, fruit and muesli, plus organic coffee that guests say is the best in town.
