This is a lovely comfortable hotel in a great location for walking to the beach, restaurants and the port. The breakfast is the best we have offered during all of our travels over 7 weeks in different cities in Spain! The staff members are friendly and always helpful. They take pride in their hotel. This is our second stay and we will definitely be back!

10/10 Wonderful stay at Hotel California during our first visit to Malaga. The hotel is beautiful, quaint and welcoming. The rooms have been updated and our particular room was quiet. The breakfast each morning to start the day was absolutely amazing served by a very kind and helpful staff. 5-minute walk to the beach! We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Quirky and in a great position, about 15 mins pleasant walk into the city. Room was quite small and basic with no view, but it was fine as we were out all three days. Breakfast was the highlight. No buffet, but the coffee and selection they bring you is fabulous. Would stay again.

I’m so glad I found this wonderful little hotel which is both quirky in its decor but wonderfully modern in its fixtures and fittings. The breakfast is fresh and delicious. For us the location was perfect - just 100 metres from the beach and local bars and restaurants and yet the centre of Malaga is only a 15 minute walk away. Finally, the staff are welcoming, helpful and very friendly and we will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Malaga.

We had very comfortable rooms and really loved the rooftop terrace, which has views of the ocean. The breakfast was great. It is a short walk to the beach, but a longer walk to the main touristy shopping areas. We prefer to be a little out of the fray. It is on a bus line if you don’t feel like walking.

The staff were friendly and helpful! The room and bed were comfortable. We especially enjoyed our little balcony! The breakfast was excellent and such a wonderful start to the day. So fresh and delicious!! The location of the hotel was perfect! A quick walk short walk to the beach and within walking distance to the downtown area. Restaurants were abundant nearby. Also, train and bus stations were within walking distance. Hotel California was a delightful experience and we plan to return!

I fell in love with this hotel! This was a great place to stay in Malaga. From the terrace at the top floor looking out to the ocean to the incredible service ! They did clean the room and bathroom every day which was really nice. The hotel is not even 5 minute walk to the beach and about 15 to 20 minute walk to the city center. There’s a market near to get some food and wine if interested. The staff was very accommodating and understanding. Definitely stay here if you have the chance

As a single traveller this worked perfectly for me. A lovely quiet area, apart from the traffic noise from the road, but not the hustle and hustle of the city. The roof top terrace is very comfortable and relaxing. Staff at reception are helpful and friendly. Easy to walk into the city each day. A couple of restaurants near by, one excellent one for healthy food KeyZen. Fridge in the room was very handy to keep fruit and yoghurt water etc. I will definitely stay again if in Málaga. Thank you

I checked out in the middle of the night because I was swarmed by biting ants. Plus, they say the have parking, but they actually only have a single, tiny, inaccessible spot in a ramp across the street for the entire hotel.

The room is impeccable but the wifi connection in my room was very slow. The location is perfect, about a 20 minutes walk to the city center and 3 minutes to the beach. There’re some restaurants that locals visit in the neighborhood, price cheaper than those in the city center. Staffs were friendly helped out with carrying my suitcase up to the entrance. Sound proof is not very good. Highly recommendable.

This is one of my all time favourite hotels, real character and exceptionally friendly staff and owners. It is like one big happy family. Wonderful view of the Sea from their upper deck and some rooms. Real attention to detail. The breakfast provided was wonderful, high quality and great selection. They were very helpful in helping us plan where to go and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. As The Eagles song says “You can check in any time but you can never leave”, indeed I hated to leave and wished we had stayed longer! Ian MacKenzie

Stayed here for two nights in November. 2024, really liked it, room on the 4th floor was a little bit more dated than the room on the second floor, which was beautifully appointed. Overall a very convenient place to stay, about 20 minutes. Walk two the center of town with tons of shopping and dining opportunities. Highly recommend, would stay again.
