Lock in a great price for California – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Breakfast really good- fresh fruit and freshly baked bread and cake! Lovely terrace with sea view. Family run hotel, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.

David, United Kingdom

Very well docorated and nicely furnished older building that has been maintained very well. Our room was very big and included a small private terrace. The bed was comfortable and very clean. The roof-top terrace was a great place to relax or to enjoy a take-away meal. Although it is a bit of a walk to get to the city center, we enjoyed the walk along the beach to get there. You can also easily use the 'lime' scooters if your legs are feeling tired.

John, Czech Republic

Very good and big breakfast - also several gluten-free options were available! Very nice and flexible service. Highly recommended!

Ksutinen, Finland

The staff is warm helpful and professional. No arrogance.

Patrice, United Arab Emirates

This is really a great Hotel! We highly recommend it! First of all the rooms were spacy, lovely decorated, clean and pretty. Then the Overall design of the Hotel is truly Special, you will for sure take some Picture of it :) Then the staff is super helpful as well. We enjoyed our stay (as well as the breakfast) here and would certainly come again!

Benjamin, Germany

Friendly family hotel close to the beach, city center and supermarket. Great value

Peter, Slovakia

The room was lovely, clean and quiet. The hotel was in a good location for a day at the beach, but it’s a 20 minute walk into the heart of the city. Most of the staff was helpful and friendly.

Herbert, United States of America

The owners and employees love this building and it’s guests. Their love is evident everywhere—in the breakfast, in the decoration, in the flowers growing around a he wonderful terrace...

Rose, United States of America

Beautiful, well kept family establishment in a lovely location.

Teresa, United States of America

The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit and orange juice and delicious homemade pastries. The hotel is located very close to the beach but it is also an easy and a very nice walk to the old city center. Thank you for the lovely stay!!

Noisy refrigerator in the room. A pain in the night.
Large room, comfy. Nice building. Don't miss the solarium on the top. Very helpful staff. Breakfast opens at 8 but we needed to leave before so they made 2 for us only. A two great ones. Near several bus line. Close to the beach.

Did not like that it cost $70.00 dollars to have two loads of laundry washed. They said they would call and have it picked up and washed and delivered. They were not aware of how much it cost when I asked. Never In My wildest dreams I would imagine it to come to that amount. I found out about the amount when I was checking out and paying my bill. I think that a service at that price needs to be agreed by customer before hand. I was very upset.... $70.00 for two loads and they were not even folded properly, everything was wrinkled! Other than that HUGE expense. The service was friendly and the hotel is in a very nice location.

If the room is facing the street, it can be quite noisy during the night. Carpark is a bit tedious as the hotel does not provide Carpark so you need to find something in the streets around.
The room was big and the bed confortable. The hotel is very cosy and the staff very nice. The breakfast was very good and big. Bus stop to go to the city center just in front of the hotel. Beach, supermarket and restaurant around!

I would say there wasn't anything I didn't like. Room , staff, location all great....a taxi stand was nearby and a local bus stop just in front...so no...not a thing I didn't like. however....there was one little thing that was not up to snuff....there were tons of Tv channels and only one in English which was a news channel...should I be able to change anything about Hotel California it would be the addition of extra English TV channels.
We liked the location a lot....restaurants near by were wonderful with a grocery store just around the corner. We also had to change our arrival date and the hotel was very, very accommodating about the change. There we even paperback books your could borrow on every floor...with a fantastic terrace on the building roof.

There was a lot of traffic from the main street so the sleep quality was not the best. There was a sewage smell in the bathroom, but we left the windows open and it was not that bad afterwards.
The superior double room is pretty large, the bed is comfortable, the balcony was nice (the one facing the street); the bathroom has windows. The continental breakfast was good - especially the fresh orange juice.
