San Roque Holidays from £851

Ideally located in the old town. 15 minute walk from the train station. A beautiful hotel with loads of history. All staff are brilliant, from reception, to hospitality (shout out to Brian) and housekeeping. Breakfast was amazing, you won’t go hungry. Bedrooms are spacious and well maintained. There’s also a minibar and a steamer for your clothes. Toiletries included, which were lovely, (and hairdryer). There is a lounge, where you can make a tea or coffee. Plenty of places to try tapas. We had 7 nights, in hindsight I think 4 nights max would cover it. Cadiz is a great walking city. Would recommend the hop on/off bus too. You get to see the new town near Victoria beach. In my opinion the old town is best.

On the plus side the apartment was great, quiet and cool. It had what we wanted and it was well situated so nothing was too far too walk. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space. On the minus side, the listing on the Hotel site was a bit misleading. The first photo is of the beach entitled View from property - which was one of the reasons I chose it. The apartment is in the middle of a set of streets with no view at all. The host does not speak English - though Google translate worked fine and she was very helpful. Finally the listing says free parking. There isn't any parking at all! There is a station car park 2 minutes away at 16EUR per day.
