Refino Central Studio, Málaga Overview
Refino Central Studio is located in Málaga, Spain. Rated 7.0 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Refino Central Studio is a compact, non-smoking studio in Málaga, Spain, set on Calle Refino, 20, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot. The address puts you close enough to tackle Málaga’s main sights without relying on long transfers, while the studio itself is designed for straightforward stays with air conditioning for warmer days. With check-in from 4:00 PM to midnight and check-out at 11:00 AM, it works well for travelers who want flexible arrival timing and a clear departure window.
Guests have rated Refino Central Studio 7/10 based on two reviews, so it’s best approached as a simple, no-fuss option rather than a heavily reviewed standout. Reviewers have pointed to the value of having a dedicated base in the central area, and the property’s operational focus on hygiene and safety is reinforced by disinfected guest rooms between stays, effective cleaning standards, and cashless payment availability. Hand sanitizer is provided in guest areas, and staff follow local safety protocols.
In terms of what you can do nearby, the Málaga Cathedral is about 1 km away and the Picasso Museum is roughly 1 km from the studio, both reachable for a morning visit. If you’re planning a classic coastal walk, La Malagueta Beach is around 1.5–2 km away, and the Gibralfaro viewpoint is about 2 km for skyline views. Refino Central Studio is best for solo explorers and couples who prioritize location and a calm, non-smoking environment over extra on-site services.

Should You Book Refino Central Studio?
Worth considering as a walkable, compact base in central Málaga, especially if you prioritize location over space. The main caution is the very small review sample (2 reviews) and the modest 7/10 rating, so it’s a “reasonable bet” rather than a sure thing.
Best For
- Solo travelers who want a practical, non-smoking studio close to major sights on foot
- City-break couples or friends who plan to spend most of their time walking to museums and viewpoints
- Travelers who value straightforward logistics like air conditioning and cashless payment
- Sightseeing-focused guests aiming to reach places like the Picasso Museum, Roman Theatre, and Gibralfaro Viewpoint without long transfers
Not Ideal For
- Guests who need lots of space, since it’s described as a compact studio
- Skeptical bookers who prefer stronger evidence than a 7/10 rating based on only 2 reviews
- Travelers sensitive to noise or early/late activity, since the check-in window is relatively late (from 4:00 PM) and the property is in a central area
What to Expect
You arrive to a compact, non-smoking studio on Calle Refino and settle in with air conditioning, using the provided hand sanitizer and cashless payment options.

In the evening, you can keep your plans simple and stay close to the center for Spanish dining options like El Pimpi.
