Close to the beach and bars. Clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Staff was very kind and polite. Great place for a short stay!

This was just a two night stay following a trip to Granada that left us close to the airport. The Hotel is 5 minutes from the beach and about a 30 minute pleasant walk to the Cathedral and town centre. Hotel was clean and well presented. Staff were helpful and the breakfast excellent. All-in-all a pleasant stay.

Was an amazing short stay. Easy to rach from the airport or the city center and the beach is a 3 minute walk away. The next bus stop is 1/2 minute away :-) Staff/owners are very helpful and the breakfast is lovely.

The staff at the Hotel California is extremely friendly. They provided information and help. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. The room was comfortable, and had everything one can need. The location was perfect. It was a block from the beach, and walking distance to restaurants. It was a 5 minute taxi ride to the city center. We had a great experience and I highly recommend this hotel. It’s not in a super busy area which was great, since the busy area was a 5 minute walk away.

The hotel has no ramp, only the stairs and had to carry our luggage’s towards the reception. Breakfast is excellent. The personnel is friendly and ready to help. Would certainly go back.

This isn’t the best hotel in the world but it’s friendly, quirky and good value. Staff are great, very decent/ big breakfast. Decor is odd but cute. Room is really stuffy without use of fan and air con. Location ok, 15 mins out of centre. On bus route. Deffo worth checking out if on a budget.

The hotel is very near the beach which made it really easy tog back and forth multiple times a day (to siesta when it was very hot!). It’s also near a large supermarket to get water and snacks. The public transport is very close, with a bus stop directly outside the property and the buses taking you straight to the city centre. The rooms themselves were very nice and newly renovated with excellent air conditioning. Would definitely stay here again!

Hotel California is a lovely, family-run place and I enjoyed my stay very much. The breakfast on the front terrace was very nice and delicious.

Very nice small boutique hotel for our stay. Enjoyed the short distance to the beach and the rooftop. Great breakfast.

This place was a great! Maybe a little far from downtown and all the action, but everything about it was super nice and staff was very helpful! And it was steps from the beach, quick 5 minute walk :)

Great pace for a city stay, clean, friendly and interesting decor

Made changes on request ASAP; nice location with City & ocean view; near beach, restaurants & market

On checking into our room, it had a string sewage smell. We opened the windows and doors and switched the fan on. After a few minutes the small was atill coming from the bathroom so I went to the reception desk to report it. The assistant gave us another room one level above the first one. We checked into this and it was fine. On leaving for dinner shortly afterwards I thanked the assistant, upon which he told us he checked our original room and it was fine, and didn’t understand why I complained. I reiterated that it smelled bad and he insisted I was wrong, with a really bad attitude. On returning to the room around 11pm we showered in cold water as there was no hot water. The air conditioning did not work, after at least an hour on cold, and with the extra fan in, the room was still hot. After our exchange earlier I wasn’t going to complain and turn the whole thing ugly. The following morning I reported the issues to the morning manager, and he said he was aware of the water problem, but it was now fixed, and we were on our way to the airport! He insisted the water temperature was 40deg the previous day, and that the air conditioning worked fine, I must have been using it incorrectly! Again a bad attitude. After a week of several hotels and superb experiences, this was by far our worst experience. If I visit Malaga again we would rather sleep in the car.

Excelent stay, way above the expectations. We received a service ( room surface, amenities, patios, partial view at the see, clean room, breakfast, assistance at parking ) which makes this hotel to deserve 3 stars.

Friendly and helpful staff. AMAZING breakfast and sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere. Would stay again.

Wonderful stay and I would highly recommend.

The only issue was I had to carry my luggage up three flights of stairs and there was no parking. I booked the room because it had parking.

Breakfast was excellent service was excellent rooftop patio was nice to relax on

10/10. Can’t recommend enough! Close to the beach and walking distance to the city. Our room was big and very nice. If you bring a car, remember to prebook a parking spot with the hotel directly.

This is an absolutely brilliant room - the renovated rooms are superbly finished. The bed is very comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. We hope to be back soon

“You get what you pay” Hotels rooms are very old, very close to the old town. Parking is a little tricky, please contact the property for parking information. DO Not arrive and ask for parking…

The room was comfortable and everything looked new. Staff really helpful. We had a great stay.

Very nice location, nice atmosphere in the Hotel. Only my room was not super clean.

Ideal location for beach,port,old town.Hotel was spotless and breakfast excellent.

We truly enjoyed staying at Hotel California. The hotel was convenient and close to many places.

One of my favourite hotels I’ve stayed at. A perfect location just off of the main centre. Very quiet and very clean. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The breakfast options in the morning were such a treat! I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have stayed at the hotel california three times now and it's usually a good value option. The location is great and the staff are friendly. The rooms are reasonable and value for a 2 star. But the main reason I choose this hotel is for the large sun terrace. Sadly, this time, there were no sun loungers available - every single one was broken and out of use. There was no explanation given when I raised it with the management and was just told that they were waiting for the summer to get replacements. I've no idea how they can allow all the loungers to break without fixing or replacing. The marquee was also broken so overall, the impression was very disappointing and revealed a neglect of what is the hotel's main attraction. I'm not sure I would stay here again due to this significant issue. It's a shame as I liked this hotel.

Room cleaning service was not good (floor was dirty from the very first day until we left the room). Very poor room insulation (we heard our neighboring room occupant snoring the whole night for two consecutive nights). Something to be recognized is the remodeling of the rooms, very nice done.

Excellent customer service, lovely and nice hotel with friendly staff.

Hotel is close to the beach and Gibralfaro. Staff are very helpful, helped us to take the luggages to the room and to the lobby when we leave as our luggages are quite big.

We stayed at California 3 nights. Very nice property. Beautiful hall and reception, modern and big rooms. Delicious breakfast. Perfect service!! hotel near the beach about 6 minutes walk and 15 -20 minutes walk to the downtown.

We loved everything about the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable with an excellent shower and the breakfast was good and plentiful. Extra coffee on request!
