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!
Lovely art throughout

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!

Great stay close to beach

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.

Excellent location close to beach

Very nice hotel with a 2 minute walk to the beach. AC and fan were great. We had the room with a large balcony [202] which was nice. Shower and bed perfect. They also gave us beach towels for the beach. Food and grocery store very very close also. Also a very quiet hotel

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.
