If the question is whether disbelievers and hypocrites love Allah, the answer is yes, based on His saying: "And of the people are some who take others as rivals to Allah, loving them as they should love Allah." (Quran 2:165) Their love for Allah, however, is polytheistic and of no avail.
If the question is whether Allah loves disbelievers and hypocrites, the answer is no, based on His saying: "But if they turn away, then indeed, Allah does not love the disbelievers." (Quran 3:32) and His saying: "Indeed, He likes not the disbelievers." (Quran 30:45) The verses indicating Allah's lack of love for them are numerous.
