Plaza de la Merced Historic Center, Málaga Overview

Plaza de la Merced Historic Center is located in Málaga, Spain. Rated 8.3 out of 10 based on 17 guest reviews.

Plaza de la Merced Historic Center is a small stay in Málaga, Spain, set at 4 Calle Pedro Molina 2 in the historic core where you can step straight into the city’s cultural rhythm. This is a good fit for solo explorers and couples who want to move on foot, and for families who prefer a quieter base with soundproof rooms after a day out. Guests consistently mention the calm feeling inside, helped by soundproofing and air conditioning that makes evenings comfortable even when the streets are lively outside.
