Un engaño total con Expedia, hice una reserva que me confirmaron por email y cuando llegué al hostal estos me dijeron que la reserva no existía porque no tenían contrato con Expedia...ni siquiera tenían habitaciones a esos precios...te estafan totalmente...había cogido siempre a través de Booking y sin problema pero Expedia son unos estafadores

Es un hotel bien ubicado con buenas vistas.Hay muchas escaleras para acceder a los apartamentos lo cual hace difícil ir con maletas. El desayuno es bastante limitado. Atención personal muy buena.

Muy bien. Repetiría. De hecho creo que lo haré.

Responde a lo que iba buscando. Muy bien todo. Quizás lo único es que para tomar café tienes que esperar a que el señor te lo traiga y conmigo tardó un poco, pero bueno, no tengo queja.

bonitas vacaciones en San Jose

Hemos estado 9 días, la habitación es grande, con una terraza chulísima con vistas espectaculares a San José. la playa más cerca de lo que parece y el camino ameno entre tiendas y restaurantes. El personal del hotel súper atento y cordial, el desayuno muy sencillo y repetitivo, pero suficiente.

Traumhafter Ausblick mit guter Preis-Leistung

Wir waren eine Woche in der Nachsaison Mitte Oktober im Hostel, welches für seine zwei Sterne eine gute Ausstattung, ruhige Lage und einen traumhaften Ausblick auf die Bucht von San Jose zumindestens von den Zimmern 61 bis 65 bietet. Das Frühstück ist ok. Müsli, Baguette, Schinken, Käse, Obst, Sonderwünsche kann es nicht erfüllen.

Very Pleasant

El Dorado is a very pleasant budget hotel, and whilst the rooms are simple and basic, they are clean, bright and pleasant. The buffet breakfast, again is simple, but kept well stocked and fresh. Overall, for the price, we couldn't fault it.

Great place to enjoy this secluded beach town

It is best to rent a car (e.g., in Almeria) to reach this secluded town rather than rely on (limited) public transportation. If you are on the top floor, and arrive by car: hope to get one of the handful of parking spots on the back/top of the hotel. Otherwise, be prepared to climb 102 steps (yes, I counted them) from the sidewalk to the top floor, which may be challenging if you are carrying heavy luggage. More than just a room, what I got felt more like a small apartment, except that there was no kitchen. The balcony with patio furniture had a priceless view of the beach. My main bedroom was spacious, had cable t.v. and air conditioning. I had a mini-fridge and an in-room safe. There was an entire (small) bedroom with bunk beds that I never even entered. There is a pool. There is a restaurant. I don't understand why this place is classified as a hostAl rather than a full-fledged hotEl. The front desk staff seem happy to help with any and all questions you might have. My stay included a free breakfast that is plentiful (cold cuts, cheese, bread, pastries, cereal, coffee, tea, fruit, juices... all very tasty). I will absolutely return to this hotel/hostal whenever I get the chance, and will recommend it strongly to my friends, family, and anyone else interested in my opinion. :-).

great time and relaxation

Hostel El Dorado is a wonderful place to get away from the large cities of Spain. It is situated on a hill, two blocks from the center of town and overlooking the San Jose cove. Most of the rooms have a patio and they are well kept. The pool is small but you can enjoy it after a long day at the beach. We recommend Genovese and the other beaches that are right up the street from the hostel. You can get there by bus or if you have a car, please be careful with the road, since it is mostly an unpaved road. There is complete silence and relaxation at the hostel. Very nice to just listen to the waves and not hear all the cars and people of the city. Highly recommend. If you are coming as a couple, the restaurant downstairs is great for couples, overlooking the town and moon.
