About
Hotel La Chancla
Hotel La Chancla is a modest 18-room property set directly on the beach in Malaga's Este district, in the Pedregalejo area. It's a place with a distinctly local character — the ground floor houses a lively bar-cafe, and the area caters more to residents than tourists. The modern rooms are simple but well-kept, with air conditioning, soundproofing, and flat-screen TVs, and some offer sea views.
The hotel's highlight is its rooftop terrace, complete with a jacuzzi, sun loungers, and views over the Mediterranean. Guests can also use the solarium, and an honesty bar adds to the relaxed, self-service atmosphere. With a high facilities rating and strong service scores, it's a practical choice for travellers who want to be near the water without the formality of a larger resort.
Note that the hotel is above a bar, which can bring noise during certain weekends or events, and breakfast service starts later — details to consider if you prefer a quieter, early-morning start.

8.5Verified guest“A quaint hotel with lovely sea views if you get an oceanview room. The rooftop deck with hot tub and the fun pub/cafe below are great — open late but not noisy for guests. The area is very local, not touristy, so you get a real taste of Spain. Loved the place.”
