We enjoyed this modern hotel tucked into a quiet corner of Tarifa's old town. The rooftop deck was beautiful and the selection at breakfast was great. Parking was a bit tricky - the first option was full but we found parking at the second suggestion. Once parked everything is very walkable. The staff was warm and helpful.

Great boutique hotel in the old town. Close to great restaurants. We were there in the summer and the vibe in the old town was fabulous. The room was unique (in a good way way - relaxed and casual) and we had a patio. Breakfast was included and quite good. The person greeting us at the hotel when we were there was lovely and helpful. The upstairs deck has a great view of the sea and you can see Africa in the distance.

Very friendly staff, easy parking in the community lot, easy to get to (pay attention to the arrival instructions), good AC, and a nice breakfast. Our lower floor room felt a little damp, which may partly because we had the AC cranked. Comfy bed. Would stay again.
