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!

This is a little Haven in the center of Tarifa. Property is gorgeous with an excellent staff. We wished we had taken up on the spa treatment and yoga classes that were offered for extra cost - very reasonable. It’s nearly everything but on a very quiet alley. The excellent Staff is the highlight of this property.

Lovely relaxing stay

We had a fabulous stay here. The staff were fabulous and made numerous excellent restaurant recommendations, all of which we enjoyed. The location is excellent, in the heart of the old town which suited us, and an easy walk to the fabulous beach. Great location to completely chill and relax. Thank you.

Lovely stay

The hotel was very charming with exposed stone walls and beautiful decoration. My only slight complaint was that our room was a bit damp, but that is understandable given the first floor location and exposed stone walls.

We stayed for one night at this tiny boutique hotel. The hotel was clean. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are small, we had a downstairs room which was slightly noisy. There was no wardrobe to hang your clothes just a few coat hangers. After using the shower the room felt a little damp, there are no external facing windows so ventilation was poor and when the bath tub/shower is based in the main room this is not ideal. Breakfast was ok, the locally made cake was delicious! Location was great, situated on little cobbled street in the old town. The hotel is decorated beautifully but due to the room size and ventilation we would not stay here again.
