Renovated boutique hotel with a 1 person elevator. Check in difficult and door was locked and staff unavailable before 3 pm. Not able to contact with Whatsapp only local number. This made it impossible for international traveler to call. Room was right over busy avenue lined with cafes and bars. Difficult to sleep at night because of all the noise, also woken up by early morning street cleaner each day. Bed was extremely firm and not easy for some to get comfortable.

Disappointing - not what it looks like on pics.

No one at the reception so service is limited. I had hundreds of ants in my bedroom and even in my BED! More over I also had flying insect attracted by light landing on my computer - all that while all window were closed. Shower head cannot hold in position you need to old it. Celling is disgusting.

This little hotel was cute and comfortable. The receptionist Pepe was very kind and helpful!:) It’s just right next to the beautiful ancient church. Not too quiet but not too loud ether. It’s located in the old town, so for that it’s a perfect place to stay! We’ll definitely go back!🤗 (it shows 1star, but I would give 4)

Comfortable big clean room

Very big comfortable room, super clean. Had a balcony, very good condition. The only thing i can point out is that is was a little big noisy, I think there was a bar or restaurant nearby, and you could hear people talking if you leave the window open.

This is a clean and quiet hotel. This was our second stay in less than a month. This time the shower and internet worked properly. I wish there would have been someone on site for check-in.we arrived at 5:30 pm which seems reasonable for someone to be there. Parking is somewhat inconvenient. Plan on spending an extra 10-15 Euro on parking.

First the good: it is a cute hotel with nice, clean rooms. Good location in the old town of Tarifa. Unfortunately the wifi did not work properly and there was no one at the front desk to help sort it out. I would suggest in the future that they print the password rather than write it down in script. We tried every possible combination to no avail. Second, our shower did not work properly, most of the water did not come out of the spray head but ran down the hose from where it connects to the head. Lastly, the hotel amenities listed on Orbitz says that there is free parking. The parking is not free. Nearly 11 euros for overnight. If the wifi and shower could be fixed I would stay again.

No one at front desk for check in or problems

Had no hot water for 2 days, toilet wouldn't flush, had to plead with bakery staff next door to contact owner for check in and to address these problems. Finally on my last night there was someone at the front desk. Although a phone number was taped onto the front door of the hotel, there was just a recorded message in Spanish. The bakery staff had a different number to contact him. When he checked me in he insisted that check in time is 3:00 pm although on Hotels.com it states 2:00 pm

A Great Find

We were very impressed by the standard of this hostal. The receptionist was friendly, efficient and helpful, whilst the room was large, well decorated and comfortable. The building has been beautifully modernised and is located in an attractive street, with cafes, shops and restaurants nearby.

Overall it was a really nice cute property centrally located, very convenient in the little town of Tarifa. The shower had some issues (no shelves and the sprayer would not stay up), but overall the room was nice and comfortable and got the job done. One other note was that the desk isn't staffed regularly. If no one is there you'll need to call to check in. Ironically the phone number on the door doesn't work, but the one listed on Google does.

Great location

The hotel was in a good location with a car park less than 5 minutes walk. A number of restaurants/bakeries around it and easy walking to see the sights. The room itself was small ( standard double room) but clean and comfortable. Looked like it had been renovated fairly recently
