This is one of my all time favourite hotels, real character and exceptionally friendly staff and owners. It is like one big happy family. Wonderful view of the Sea from their upper deck and some rooms. Real attention to detail. The breakfast provided was wonderful, high quality and great selection. They were very helpful in helping us plan where to go and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. As The Eagles song says “You can check in any time but you can never leave”, indeed I hated to leave and wished we had stayed longer! Ian MacKenzie

I loved this hotel. I stayed in a single room which was small, but it was so well arranged with everything you could want - refrigerator, electric kettle, desk, great lighting, etc. Breakfast was included in my package and was huge and delicious. It included fresh bread, yogurt and granola, fresh fruit, eggs made to order, a pastry, fresh orange juice, coffee or tea. The location was great with a bus stop in front of the hotel. Buses run every 10 minutes and all of them go to the historic center. There were good restaurants nearby and the beach and boardwalk were only several blocks away. The view from the roof patio of the beach is beautiful. It’s not in the center, but it made me explore more and see more.

Our favorite hotel so far in Europe. The facilities are great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You must have the breakfast. Eggs are cooked to order and the breakfast is served at your table. Fresh fruit, squeezed orange juice, great coffee, yogurt, muscili and lemon cake. H

We loved staying here and we will definitely stay again. Very nice eateries nearby and cheap shopping options on the other side of the road (found some nice cashmere scarves for 6.5 eur when in town the same kind were 10 or above). Very nice and quiet, clean and loved the many lights! Also, the lady at reception was very kind to keep our luggage until we were ready to leave for our flight, well past the checkout time so we could explore unencumbered. 5/5

Stayed here for two nights in November. 2024, really liked it, room on the 4th floor was a little bit more dated than the room on the second floor, which was beautifully appointed. Overall a very convenient place to stay, about 20 minutes. Walk two the center of town with tons of shopping and dining opportunities. Highly recommend, would stay again.

Absolutly perfect

Everything was perfect! The room was extra clean, confortable, nice view. There is no balcony but good windows you can open. There are two terrasses , one rooftop with view of ocean. The hotel us well located near beach and old town by walking. It was quiet, I appreciated everything in that hotel. The ambiance is agreable. It is a family project. So they care. We have complete breakfast served at the table for afordable amount. I will go back for sure. I felt good all 9 days i stayed. The pictures are the same as the hotel.

Quick one night stop over before catching flight home next day. Lovely friendly reception, but you need to let them know before arriving if you need parking. Don't assume there will be room when you arrive. We were fortunate. Room very large and clean and lovely modern bathroom.

Ok hotel.

Everything was great. The reception was accommodating in speaking English. The only issue is the poor design shower unit. Swing doors do not seal proper thus the floor soaking always. Be careful not to hit the tap the wrong way or you get super hot blast. No coffee maker just kettle for instant coffee. Restaurants in the area don’t have hours conducive to meals.

Great location - walking distance to beach, restaurants, old city, museum, and fortress. Beds are very comfy and AC is excellent. Lovely rooftop garden to watch the sun set in the evening. Breakfast is top rate - perfect coffee with hot milk, warm freshly-baked rolls and croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, granola, and yoghurt.

This was just a two night stay following a trip to Granada that left us close to the airport. The Hotel is 5 minutes from the beach and about a 30 minute pleasant walk to the Cathedral and town centre. Hotel was clean and well presented. Staff were helpful and the breakfast excellent. All-in-all a pleasant stay.

Beautiful Hotel & Wonderful Staff

The staff at the Hotel California is extremely friendly. They provided information and help. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. The room was comfortable, and had everything one can need. The location was perfect. It was a block from the beach, and walking distance to restaurants. It was a 5 minute taxi ride to the city center. We had a great experience and I highly recommend this hotel. It’s not in a super busy area which was great, since the busy area was a 5 minute walk away.
