9.2/10 Wonderful! (66 reviews)

This boutique hotel is conveniently located in the Cathedral square . You walk out the doors and a choice of restaurants and cafes are within steps ! The rooms although not huge are a good size with confortable beds and yes comfortable pillows too ! Loved the rooftop pool area that makes you feel even closer to the impressive Cathedral . The ocean front is steps away where you can enjoy long walks or bike rides or just people watching . This is a great hotel to stay in with shopping in the historic section also minutes away . The Hop on Hop Off bus stop is a 5 min walk and tickets can be purchased from the helpful hotel staff who do speak English . Cadiz is a walkable city but from the upper deck of the bus (conveniently covered by an awning for sun protection) you get a great view of the sites as you cruise by .
