About
Hostal Boutique Vidamia
Hostal Boutique Vidamia is a cosy 2-star property set in the heart of Malaga, about 500 metres from the Museo Picasso Malaga. It sits in a quiet yet central spot, close to restaurants, bars, and main sights like the cathedral and the Gibralfaro castle. The building has a lift and offers soundproofed rooms, plus free Wi-Fi throughout.
Rooms range from an economy double with a bunk bed to standard and superior doubles. All come with air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom with a shower. Guests can use a shared kitchen and living area, and the property also has a fitness centre, beach access, and options for hiking, cycling, and tennis nearby – though those are more about the location than the hotel itself.

Worth weighing

- Small bathrooms — At least one guest noted the bathroom was small. If space is a priority, check the room type or ask when booking.
- No on-site parking — There’s no mention of parking in the policies, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking nearby.
