The room and the hotel looks very nice. The greeting was extraordinary, thanks Lució, your welcome made our day! The breakfast is very nice with lots of coffee and love. I really do recommend this hotel for you. It's a hidden gem, very close to the beach. Also, don't miss the little pub/restaurant almost in front of it, they serve very nice meals.

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.

Great location-only a few minutes walk to the beach, with the hotel providing beach towels and an umbrella. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend to others.

Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice little property away from the busy area yet a nice 20 min walk away. super close to the beach (2 min walk) and there is a big supermarket one block away. Everyone I spoke to was pleasant and helpful. I had an early flght and they arranged a taxi ride at 4:45AM and someone was at the desk making sure all was good. Would stay again!

Great stay close to beach

Excellent renovated hotel with about a 2 minute walk to the beach. Room was very quiet also. They provide beach towels and umbrella also. We had room 202 which is the best front facing room as it has a large balcony with chairs.

Excellent location close to beach

Very nice hotel with a 2 minute walk to the beach. AC and fan were great. We had the room with a large balcony [202] which was nice. Shower and bed perfect. They also gave us beach towels for the beach. Food and grocery store very very close also. Also a very quiet hotel
