Excellent, clean, simple room with fridge and own 3-piece bathroom and tv. Bed was so comfortable. Easy walking distance to port for ferry to Tangier. Parking was the only challenge-finding free street parking sometimes.

For a somewhat budget hotel, this place really did the job! Room was smaller but very clean, modern, and functional. Hotel also allowed for an early check-in, and let us keep our bags at the property till the afternoon as we had a late bus. Would definitely recommend if you want something no frills for a few days in the beautiful Tarifa.

Very difficult to check-in as all done virtually. I tried to call two different numbers plus email without a response… eventually was able to contact the helpdesk via WhatsApp - which given I arrived at 2 PM as arranged on Hotels.com was frustrating.
Rooms were tidy and in good condition. You’re given the main access code on check-in and then your room is unlocked (key provided).

The room was nice and clean! The staff super kind and helpful!☺️ The only problem is, if you wanna park close to the hotel is almost impossible. (There is a parking lot where you have to pay 1€/hour, which 10min walking distance from the hotel.)

Pros: Comfortable bed and pillows, quiet, 5 min walk from the old town, free street parking, easy check-in/out.
Cons: Cleanliness was ok but could be improved (dark scuffs on white walls, some stains on the blankets although they smelled clean), very basic amenities.

On street parking only. Have been advised that it is safe. Parked on street near hotel for a week in 2024 with no problems. Trying it again this year. Hotel highly recommended and very reasonable rates.
