My partner and I stayed here for one night for a quick stop off/rest as part of a larger trip. The accommodation was pretty much as expected for a budget hotel. Quick, efficient, super affordable, good location. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful during check in.

Great location, good value for a budget stay. Rooms are smallish and lack much soundproofing but furnishings were comfortable and the room heater worked really well (chilly spring weather). Front desk personnel were uniformly friendly and helpful.

Small, friendly and good value.

Small friendly hotel with a nice breakfast. Rooms are small but well maintained. No lift and showers have a step to access so might be tricky for people with limited mobility. Also note that it is at the bottom of a hill which leads up to the centre of town. El Serrallo marina is a shot walk away on the flat with a range of restaurants. Really nice staff who made us welcome.

Good hotel but damp room

Everything fine except the room smelled of damp and mould. Probably caused by the leaking shower. The smell looked like it was coming from the swollen water damaged door frame. Everything else was great.
