This isn’t the best hotel in the world but it’s friendly, quirky and good value. Staff are great, very decent/ big breakfast. Decor is odd but cute. Room is really stuffy without use of fan and air con. Location ok, 15 mins out of centre. On bus route. Deffo worth checking out if on a budget.

The hotel is very near the beach which made it really easy tog back and forth multiple times a day (to siesta when it was very hot!). It’s also near a large supermarket to get water and snacks. The public transport is very close, with a bus stop directly outside the property and the buses taking you straight to the city centre. The rooms themselves were very nice and newly renovated with excellent air conditioning. Would definitely stay here again!

Bad experience, bad attitude from hotel management
On checking into our room, it had a string sewage smell. We opened the windows and doors and switched the fan on. After a few minutes the small was atill coming from the bathroom so I went to the reception desk to report it. The assistant gave us another room one level above the first one. We checked into this and it was fine. On leaving for dinner shortly afterwards I thanked the assistant, upon which he told us he checked our original room and it was fine, and didn’t understand why I complained. I reiterated that it smelled bad and he insisted I was wrong, with a really bad attitude. On returning to the room around 11pm we showered in cold water as there was no hot water. The air conditioning did not work, after at least an hour on cold, and with the extra fan in, the room was still hot. After our exchange earlier I wasn’t going to complain and turn the whole thing ugly. The following morning I reported the issues to the morning manager, and he said he was aware of the water problem, but it was now fixed, and we were on our way to the airport! He insisted the water temperature was 40deg the previous day, and that the air conditioning worked fine, I must have been using it incorrectly! Again a bad attitude. After a week of several hotels and superb experiences, this was by far our worst experience. If I visit Malaga again we would rather sleep in the car.

Best stay in Spain
Excelent stay, way above the expectations. We received a service ( room surface, amenities, patios, partial view at the see, clean room, breakfast, assistance at parking ) which makes this hotel to deserve 3 stars.

One of my favourite hotels I’ve stayed at. A perfect location just off of the main centre. Very quiet and very clean. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The breakfast options in the morning were such a treat! I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have stayed at the hotel california three times now and it's usually a good value option. The location is great and the staff are friendly. The rooms are reasonable and value for a 2 star. But the main reason I choose this hotel is for the large sun terrace. Sadly, this time, there were no sun loungers available - every single one was broken and out of use. There was no explanation given when I raised it with the management and was just told that they were waiting for the summer to get replacements. I've no idea how they can allow all the loungers to break without fixing or replacing. The marquee was also broken so overall, the impression was very disappointing and revealed a neglect of what is the hotel's main attraction. I'm not sure I would stay here again due to this significant issue. It's a shame as I liked this hotel.

Room cleaning service was not good (floor was dirty from the very first day until we left the room). Very poor room insulation (we heard our neighboring room occupant snoring the whole night for two consecutive nights). Something to be recognized is the remodeling of the rooms, very nice done.
