I visited on a Bank Holiday weekend when the hotel was busy . The service was still acceptable but the parking I thought I had reserved wasn't available. Not a good start as the city was heaving.The room was ok as was the breakfast but nothing stood out, good or bad.I suspect the value for money would have been much... More

We stayed four night in hotel California and had a great time. The hotel is a nice authentic building and has basic spacy rooms with a complete bathroom. The breakfast is served at the table and has freshly baked croissants and petits pains, cheese, ham, cream cheese, marmelade, yoghurt, fresh fruit, cereal, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee or tea....

We needed a couple of nights in Malaga and, after blowing the budget elsewhere, it had to be cheap, so we were expecting a real drop in standards - which made the Hotel California such a great surprise. We had a large room (104) with an adjacent small room where we dumped our bags, a spacious bathroom with an opening... More

Good value hotel easy to get to from the city centre, quiet, and close to the beach. Clean comfortable rooms with good a/c, although a bit faded furniture-wise. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfasts ok.

A delightful family run place to stay in Malaga. If you are looking an ultra modern hotel forget it, but this place has character. Rooms are clean, air conditioned, if you like that sort of thing and include a fridge. Wonderful continental breakfasts include fresh orange juice that is to die for. The staff go that extra mile to make... More

We have just returned from a short 5 night break at this hotel. We had two double rooms, a bathroom and a balcony. The room was very quiet and the beds very comfortable. We had a small fridge. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been a tea and coffee making facilities in the room (hence... More

I have just returned from this hotel where I stayed for 10 days. The hotel is nice, family owned, with helpfull staff. With the reservation, I asked for the quiet room far from the stairs, lift and street and I got it. The room on the 3rd floor was small, but very clean and quiet. Fridge, air-conditioning, hairdrier, flat TV,... More

Close to the beach and the new yacht harbour. All busses to the city center stop in front of the hotel. It's only a 10 minutes drive. Pleasant, inviting lobby, friendly staff and good modern furnished rooms. We had some sea-view from our room. Great price/quality ratio. Highly recommended.
