We loved the location and the property, however the pillows were foam and both my husband and I did not sleep well because of this. The rooftop terrace was amazing, beautiful views. Overall, we loved the property. It was decorated beautifully 😍 One nice touch was beer and wine was available upon arrival. You simply helped yourself and made note of this, paying when you checked out. We would recommend this hotel.
Ótima estadia. O quarto apresentou alguns barulhos na maçaneta e também ruídos de água durante a noite. Isso foi um pouco incômodo, mas compartilhamos os detalhes com a recepção.
De resto, tudo perfeito. O hotel ainda precisa de alguns ajustes, mas o café da manhã é ótimo e a localização também.
nos recibieron muy bien. la Sra muy amable nos acompaño a parquear el coche. nos dieron un cuarto que me sorprendió parecía de un hotel 5 estrellas muy cómodo con muy buen aire acondicionado. era recién hecho el baño lo ame muy cómodo y lindo. aparte todo muy limpio. pero lo mejor con una terraza con la vista al mediterráneo. tremendo cuarto. la ubicación es excelente todo cerca.Todos los empleados super amables. Me encanto este hotel. pienso que debería tener mas estrellas. excelente propiedad para visitar málaga. super recomendado
This is, by far, one of the most comfortable, chic, clean, and beautiful hotels we've been. Location is unbeatable, and the room confort was supreme. Highly recommended for a traveling couple.
We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. We could leave our luggage before and after our stay. We were also able to borrow towels for the beach. They helped us rent a car. The breakfast was good, although it could have been better with more fruit options.
The room was clean, and everything worked properly. The hotel is close to the beach. I recommend this place and will choose this hotel again next time I’m in Malaga.
Very quiet hotel. Great breakfast options. There are several tile steps going up to the property but it is an older building. Very updated interior rooms. Clean and spacious
Autentisk, koselig lite hotell med sjel i et hyggelig strøk av byen! Veldig hjelpsomme ansatte, rent og hyggelig rom men nytt inventar, god seng. Rommer var imidlertid ikke særlig stort, men det fungerte fint for noen dager.
Super clean and perfectly located within walking distance of both the Alcazaba and the beach. The receptionist, Gonzalo (hope I’m spelling it correctly), was very kind and went above and beyond to help us resolve a parking issue.
The only downside was that the elevator was out of service during our entire two-night stay, so we had to carry heavy luggage to and from the third floor.
Savnede en sikkerhedsboks på værelset som man kunne efterlade sine værdier i. Og så var der ikke pladser og service nok til alle i morgenmadsbuffeten. Jeg måtte komme tilbage en halv time senere for at få plads,og så var der ikke mere rent service. Det skal siges at der kun var en på arbejde i køkkenet,som stod for opfyldning af mad,opvask,afrydning og opdækning.Hun kunne ikke følge med.
Clean and comfortable. Room was nice. will stay here the next time I'm in Malaga. Ancient telephonic kit was fun..

Das Hotel hat eine charmante Ambience. Mein Zimmer war sehr sauber. Die Mitarbeitenden waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, mit Humor. Schön, dass ich eine Dachterrasse nutzen konnte. Das Frühstücksbuffet war fein und gepflegt. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!

Hotel Review – BYPILLOW California, Malaga
Stay: 9–11 January 2026
The hotel has a very friendly and welcoming staff, which made the stay pleasant from the start. It is centrally located, with easy access to the city center, the beach promenade, and great walking routes nearby. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, as well as a minimarket and a pharmacy within short walking distance.
However, the rooms were extremely noisy, with very poor sound insulation. There were no ventilation vents in the room, making it impossible to get fresh air without opening the windows, which then let in significant noise from the busy, traffic-heavy street outside. Although there was a heat pump/air conditioning unit, this is unfortunately not a replacement for proper ventilation and fresh air.
The bathroom layout was poorly planned. The placement of the bathroom furniture made it almost unusable and very impractical.
Breakfast was very minimalist and quite limited compared to expectations.
Overall, the hotel has a great location and kind staff, but the lack of soundproofing, fresh air, and functional room design significantly affected the comfort of the stay.

Fint lite hotell med hyggelig betjening og enkel frokost.
Ikke langt til stranden :-)
Kommer gjerne tilbake!
The room was very clean, the hotel was relaxing and the staff very friendly. The breakfast was a little limited but the coffee and fruit juices were good. The roof terrace had lovely views. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel in posizione tranquilla, personale gentile, stanza molto pulita, buona colazione
Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel California, we were welcomed by a very helpful staff member. Though our room was on the small size it had everything we needed with a very good sized shower. There is parking on the road outside the hotel but be warned you need coins for the parking meter. The location was great with an easy stroll down to the front. We really appreciated the honesty bar enjoying a bottle of wine for 9 euros on the patio on our return after dinner.
Really lovely hotel, with lots of character. Clean and comfortable, with a Smart TV, which is always good.
Only slight snag was the 'soundproofing'....it was actually that quiet!
