Our stay in the Malaga Lodge was pleasant and smooth, Mayte and the housekeeper Mariangeles contacted us beforehand regarding our arrival and we were able to get in touch with them if we had any questions. This is a budget option, the rooms are simple and we shared a bathroom but the Lodge is spotlessly clean and provided everything we needed. There is a shared kitchen where one can prepare his own breakfast, etc. and they generously provide everything from coffee to marmalade. The location is super, a 10 minute walk to the center, we went there frequently by foot and were on a little quiet street away from the bustle. During Semana Santa it would still be noisy though as it is in the middle of the procession area - but also great location to see everything from. There is not much communal space in the Lodge for socializing, etc. if you were to come alone, but this did not bother us.
