One Star Bliss

La Estrella de Tarifa is a cheap and cheerful one-star hotel in Tarifa that I cannot recommend enough. I had the penthouse which was perfect once I got fit enough to take on the stairs three or four times per day. I was attempting and later completing a swim of the Strait of Gibraltar and La Estrella was perfect as the budget base to work from.

It was simple for a three day stay. The receptionist was great and accomodating. I stayed in the penthouse. No elevator, so if stairs isn’t your thing, don’t stay at the penthouse. it was perfect for me

Could find better in Tarifa

The area itself is great but the room wasn't that clean. My friend and I had allergic reactions to the blanket put on out beds.The bathroom smelled and the shower would start leaking randomly at night.

We stay in hotels all over the world every 6 months or more. Our budget has been low, mid and high over the past 15 years. I must say if you adore 5 star accommodation this is not for you. Personally I love the quirkiness of this hostel. The room is clean, big enough and has Wifi. The bathroom is extremely small but adequate. The location is awesome and the staff speak English. At night, when you leave your room, there are candles, lanterns and incense to guide your way to the front door. We loved the change from he sterile 3/4 star hotels

A éviter

Hotel inaccessible en voiture, prévoir 15 euros de parking en plus du prix de l'hôtel, mal isolé, literie bricolé et pieds du lit pas au même niveau impossible de dormir avec ça, toilette sans porte aucune intimité en cas de passage au toilette les odeurs envahissent la pièce, couverture du lit inadaptée pour un usage d'hôtel, mauvaise expérience. Chambre à l'entrée de l'immeuble bruit de passage.

Ein Hotel mit sehr viel Charm. Die Zimmer sind individuell und der Zugang ist auch etwas speziell. Eine schmale steile Treppe führt zu den einzelnen Zimmern in den verschiedenen Stockwerken. Man bekommt das Gefühl von 1001 Nacht mit viel Arabischem Flair. Wir waren begeistert vom Zimmer, obwohl es nicht modern eingerichtet war. Natürlich gab es aber auch WiFi und einen kleinen Fernseher. Diesen brauchten wir aber nicht, da es schöner war in der Altstatt zu flendern und die verwinkelten Gassen zu erkunden.

Hôtel sympa bien situé dans le centre historique

Charmant petit hôtel joliment décoré, plusieurs appartements disponibles de tailles différentes. Vue sur les toits de la ville depuis ma chambre, pas d’air conditionné, un ventilateur seulement - j’ai eu très chaud certains jours. J’ai passé un séjour très agréable dans cet hôtel, proche de tout, mais dans une rue calme. Le personnel est sympathique.
