Situated just a stone's throw from the heart of Tarifa's Old Town, the Hostal provides a warm,…read morefriendly, traditional Spanish welcome. Sorry folks, but you will need more than the basic few words as the staff speak no English. The Hostal's location - at the end of a tiny side street - makes this a little difficult to spot straightaway, but it's prime spot in the centre of town is the ideal base from which to explore the maze of cobbled streets. The rooms are clean, modern, attractively furnished and compactly comfortable.

Sleeping on these beds is like sleeping in a hole on a rock that swallows you as you sleep. The wifi is slow and unsecured. Uses one of those portals so its probably stealing your information as you use it. The best part of the bathroom is the see thru door that you can use to watch your significant other poop. Thats how i like my bathrooms; without privacy. Staff is rude. Asked for some towels and was told no. Straight up no. The front desk lady told me "if you missed the morning cleaning then i wont give you any". First hotel i ever stayed out where towels are rationed like drugs in prison. Lastly this place is expensive, but not expensive because its near the beach because you can find cheaper places closer to the beach. I would avoid this place. Edit: forgot to mention that the walls are paper thin. I could hear everything; the people walking by, my neighbor having sex, and the cars honking outside.
