The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast with fruits and bread changing each day. I would give this hotel 5 stars except the shower didn’t work for the first two nights of our stay, which was disappointing after a long and tiring journey.

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 had the best visit and the hotel, breakfast and staff exceeded my expectations. The staff was so nice, service mindes and helpful. We were served breakfast at the table with fresh orange juice, fruits, bread, youghurt, müsli and croissants. The eggs and bacon was made after your wish. The rooms were nice and clean! Would definitely boom this hotel again! Also nice sea view from the roof top and comfortable walking distance to the center.

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
