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.

Hotel offers very clean basic accommodation. My room was a small single but had everything I needed for a one night stay including coffee/tea AC and fan. Bathroom was small but adequate. Hotel is in a good location, close walk to the beach front. Staff were friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

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!

This is a lovely comfortable hotel in a great location for walking to the beach, restaurants and the port. The breakfast is the best we have offered during all of our travels over 7 weeks in different cities in Spain! The staff members are friendly and always helpful. They take pride in their hotel. This is our second stay and we will definitely be back!
