Stor besvikelse

Vi blev verkligen besvikna. På rummet fanns inte ens en stol att sitta på, och inte någon form av bord. Man har satsat mycket på att få en känsla, däremot har man totalt missat det funktionella. Handdukshängare endast för två handdukar, var skulle man göra av badhanddukarna? Dessutom luktade det otroligt illa från avloppet. Wifi som var gratis fungerade inte vilket var en stor besvikelse eftersom det inte fanns tv på rummet. Priset för rummet 90 euro var alldeles för högt.

Charming hotel in tarifa

Beautiful and charming hotel! Staff super friendly! No drinking water in the room,. Make sure you bring your own! The drain in the shower was blocked and when we communicated to the person in charge he already knew about it and we were not inform before. Great and quite location! I loved the experience and would go back again! Thanks serafin!

gorgeous authentic little Riad

This hotel is a gem. I loved it. The manager, Georgina is so sweet and helpful. The room is moroccan simple style ...very comfortable. The hammam is fantastic - I recommend it and the therapist is great. I wanted to extend but sadly there were fully booked. I definitely recommend and will be back next time I visit beautiful Tarifa.

beautiful place to stay in Tarifa

We stayed for 2 nights in room 9 and had a wonderful experience. The staff were professional and courteous at all times and the room was just lovely, even nicer than the photographs. Everywhere was very clean and had a relaxing spa feel. It is up a narrow pedestrian street but there is a secure car park close by at €12.50 per 24 hours. This hotel is central within the old town and we would recommend it.

Beautiful and Unique Hotel

We absolutely loved this little hotel. It is beautiful and great for the price. We had a really nice breakfast included each morning. The room was very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. We also took advantage of the Hammam spa service and it was very nice. The hotel staff went out of their way for us, especially when they got breakfast ready early for us because we had a morning ferry to catch. The little town of Tarifa was a pleasant surprise for us. It had many cool little shops and restaurants.

Beautiful design in a cozy town

What a beautiful little gem in a quirky end of the continent. The charm of this location can’t be beat, obviously the designer and decorator put great care into bringing in beautiful touches of neightboring Morocco in every direction. There were some strange parts to our stay - loud neighbors being the most disturbing. And due to a storm the WiFi was not working and there was no TV so we got to catch up on our reading!
