The room was clean but very cold on the top floor at the very end. The hotel did supply us with a small space heater but that was the only source of heat. It is unclear whether this location considers itself a hostel or a hotel.

Functional room with all the basics that you need. Excellent location, close to restaurants, attractions, beach and ferry terminal. Jesus is a great host! The only inconvenience is that you don't get a key to the main entrance. You will have to wait until the staff open the door for you.

Ok but v basic

I don’t know where they took the pictures! It was ok but it was a hostel not a hotel. Breakfast was coffee and a bun with just tinned pate or peach jam. Coffee was Luke warm. Mat in bathroom threadbare and toilet ran on - But it wasn’t expensive So ok for one night.

It’s a basic bed in the room with en-suite. The room is small but clean and we were comfortable. There is no elevator but stairs are good. The staff is wonderful- gave us lots of help with our transportation questions. It’s located right at the gate to the old town, short walk to the port and a longer walk straight down the main street to the bus station. Very good value!

Jesus was an excellent host with excellent local knowledge to help you out when needed. The bedrooms are basic but clean, comfortable and toiletries supplied. It is very close to tarifa old town with plenty of shops and restaurants. The beack is walking distance down the hill and there is a taxi rank 100 meters from the hotel. We would stay there again. We flew into jerez Airport and travelled by train from Airport to cadiz and bus from cadiz to tarifa, due to flight time home we had to get a taxi back to Airport and booked it locally for €150, cheaper than if you try to book it from the uk before you travel.

Stayed two nights, the owner was nice but only one receptionist could speak English. No English TV so maybe they should get Sky?? Also suggest they try Changing their tea, it was pretty grim.

First of all, ignore the photo of the room used in the Expedia ad. I have no idea where that photo came from, but you're likely not booking that room. The rooms are pretty basic, being more like college dorm rooms than anything else. They're perfectly serviceable as long as all you want is a cot to sleep on indoors while you surf and whatnot, but they're no more than that. Also be ready for some weird quirks. For example, it was impossible to use our shower without flooding the bathroom floor, and the AC--which I was thankful we had, as it was HOT--blew directly onto one of the two beds in the room, making that bed uncomfortably cold. However, the place is clean enough and comes with a breakfast of sorts, so it's not bad, just "okay."
