Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel California, we were welcomed by a very helpful staff member. Though our room was on the small size it had everything we needed with a very good sized shower. There is parking on the road outside the hotel but be warned you need coins for the parking meter. The location was great with an easy stroll down to the front. We really appreciated the honesty bar enjoying a bottle of wine for 9 euros on the patio on our return after dinner.

Hotel offers very clean basic accommodation. My room was a small single but had everything I needed for a one night stay including coffee/tea AC and fan. Bathroom was small but adequate. Hotel is in a good location, close walk to the beach front. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Really lovely hotel with lots of character. Loved the stained glass window in the rear of the lobby and the tasteful bar and seating area. Great roof terrace although furniture is a little tired. So close to Malagueta beach and central Málaga is an easy 20-25 minute walk through fascinating streets. The reception team were fabulous and very helpful. Alejandro is a kind, helpful and extremely knowledgeable and competent host. I really appreciated his help with parking my car in space 13 in the corner of the underground car park. My room was great, (205) lots of unexpected extras- lovely little balcony for a cup of tea. Luxurious bathroom with huge shower. Super clean. Good lift. Only minor issue was people coming and going until small hours and on arrival they made a lot of racket. This happened 2 of my 3 nights, but since everything else was wonderful, it's not a big deal. Thank you Hotel California, I checked out and escaped into the Sierra de las Nieves!

A nice little property away from the busy area yet a nice 20 min walk away. super close to the beach (2 min walk) and there is a big supermarket one block away. Everyone I spoke to was pleasant and helpful. I had an early flght and they arranged a taxi ride at 4:45AM and someone was at the desk making sure all was good. Would stay again!

Excellent renovated hotel with about a 2 minute walk to the beach. Room was very quiet also. They provide beach towels and umbrella also. We had room 202 which is the best front facing room as it has a large balcony with chairs.
