    Honestly can’t think of one thing I didn’t like

    The breakfast was fantastic. Served promptly by the friendly staff, and everything was fresh. The only suggestion I’d have would be a choice of cooked option some days.

    After arrival the floor was not so clean, found not our hair on my socks:) the location, far from the city centre, but close to the beach, so I can’t decide it was good or bad location

    Lovely bathroom, did like the housekeeping quality. All you need for a few days. Thr hotel is close to the beach. Grosery shops around and nice restaurants

    Staying in hotel California was like stepping into a movie set - it's a very authentic place. I loved the decor and ambiance! The room was okay, comfy bed and nice clean bathroom and it was cleaned every day. The staff were really nice and friendly - it's generally a very chill place. I had breakfast which was almost always the same every day but I liked it. The location of the hotel is perfect - walking distance to Malagueta beach and city centre - the bus also stops right in front of the hotel, so it's really well connected. Great value for money!

    The furniture on the roof terrace needs a refresh. But it’s detail🤔

    It is a top standard for a two-star hostel. Just pack towels - they don't change every day. I also ordered a car rental through the reception. Everything flawless and perfect. Beach is close. There are grocery stores and great restaurants nearby. It's a place I'd love to come back 🌞👍

    Isolating of the room

    Location-near the beach, restaurants, bus station, center is cca 20 min by walk, supermarket is 3 min far away Staff- very kindly I travel a lot, and this hotel deserve 5 stars and when you checked out, they can keep your languages and also you can take a shower when ever you want. I will be back again.

    View from the room wasn't the best, but we had no time to look at it more than 1 min :) Did not bother us at all.

    Wonderful place and very convenient spot to move around. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach. Alcazaba castle is just 10 mins away by foot, while the bus stop is a few meters away. Room was extremely comfortable, breakfast was wonderful and fresh. Value for money. All around a great pick for your Malaga experience!

    Nothing much.

    The location was walking distance to everything. From city centre to the marina and other tourist area. There are plenty of restaurants and easy access with public tranaports.

    My room was changed from a double to single and was quite small compared to the originally booked with a 1,5person bed.

    Very close to the beach, modern furniture, friendly staff. The place is probably better than many 3* hotels.

    Nothing really. Would have been nice if there was a bar, but not necessary as plenty in the area.

    Breakfast was delicious, we didnt book to include breakfast but tried it the first day and it was so delicious we had breakfast both days of our stay. We were also allowed to shower on our last day as our flight was not until late which was greatly appreciated.

    The breakfast was very limited for people that can't eat muesli and yoghurt, certain fruit and strong cheese and meats. Needs to be reviewed in my opinion.

    Great location to get everywhere. Would definitely book again for the location and parking

    It wasn't very clean (some hair left in the bathroom, minimal dust). Shampoo+body wash in a single container for the shower, rather cheap feel.

    Great location, 5 mins to beach by foot, 30 sec to bus station which gets you into the city as well as beaches further east. Location felt safe even in the dark. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Cute decoration. Comfortable bed with orthopedic pillows.
