Comfy, little spot

I wanted a hotel close to the beach and this was great, 2 block walk and you were there. I felt safe as a solo female traveler in and around the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was quiet and clean, my room was secure and there's a beautiful rooftop patio to enjoy with views of the water. The bus stop is right out side and you can get to most spots in Malaga. My only issue was the wifi was very spotty. It took awhile to make calls or search for things online with it constantly dropping offline. Overall I'd stay there again, thanks!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I loved this hotel. I stayed in a single room which was small, but it was so well arranged with everything you could want - refrigerator, electric kettle, desk, great lighting, etc. Breakfast was included in my package and was huge and delicious. It included fresh bread, yogurt and granola, fresh fruit, eggs made to order, a pastry, fresh orange juice, coffee or tea. The location was great with a bus stop in front of the hotel. Buses run every 10 minutes and all of them go to the historic center. There were good restaurants nearby and the beach and boardwalk were only several blocks away. The view from the roof patio of the beach is beautiful. It’s not in the center, but it made me explore more and see more.

We loved staying here and we will definitely stay again. Very nice eateries nearby and cheap shopping options on the other side of the road (found some nice cashmere scarves for 6.5 eur when in town the same kind were 10 or above). Very nice and quiet, clean and loved the many lights! Also, the lady at reception was very kind to keep our luggage until we were ready to leave for our flight, well past the checkout time so we could explore unencumbered. 5/5

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.
