We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in November, 2011. We were facing a fairly busy street, but had an amazing view of the sea through the big bright windows in our 2nd floor room! The traffic did not disrupt our sleep ever. The roof top patio was a beautiful place to sit at night and look across to... More

Recently stayed for a 3 day long weekend. Was a pleasant and comfortable stay. Location: Easy 10mins walk to the Malaga Park and historic city centre. One street back from the beach as well (quick 5 mins walk). The location was suitable and felt safe but was not really in the middle of anything. This was compensated by easy access... More

The California is close to the Malagueta (the beach AND the plaza de toros). The hotel is spacious and airy, it has a very generous atmosphere. Our room was nice and tidy, maybe a bit narrow for a suite but otherwise very nice. The bathroom was big and clean, although a wee bit smelly. Good breakfast! The staff were very... More

We had seen this place before and liked the area.It is convenient by foot for the centre of town. Local buses( with some changes) take you all over town including the airport and train/bus station.There are plenty of eating options nearby and the beach is only three minutes away.It is however, a lousy place to park a car,so beware of...

I booked Hotel California just two days before travel as a budget getaway from the Great British Weather. I could not have been more delighted! Exactly what I was looking for. Spotlessly clean throughout, well equipped bathrooms with good hairdryers. Effective, quiet fridge and air con. Lovely decor, comfy beds. Service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble...

Fantastic little hotel on the beach! Charming vintage building with well-maintained lobby and common areas. The rooms clean and comfortable with TV, closet and refrigerator. A few rooms even had small balconies or terraces to enjoy the view toward the ocean. The location is great too – about a block away from the beach and about a 10 minute walk... More

The first thing one notices about the hotel is old world charm & character. Look out for the pet turtle and bird on the 1st floor. The hotel had a family run feel. Our room was clean and tidy with a good sized bathroom. the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was good. The one downfall in our room... More

From the hotel, in a 10 minutes walk you can reach Malaga's historic center: La Alcazaba (ancient muslim castle) and the Picasso Musseum. And in just 5 minutes you can be at the beach, rent a "tumbona" and stay all reading and drinking mojitos. Certainly it is not the best beach, though is still a city beach but for a... More
