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.
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
Great location-only a few minutes walk to the beach, with the hotel providing beach towels and an umbrella. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend to others.
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.

Other than the AC dripping into a container all night, it was perfect.
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!
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!
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 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!
