The room was clean but very cold on the top floor at the very end. The hotel did supply us with a small space heater but that was the only source of heat. It is unclear whether this location considers itself a hostel or a hotel.

Functional room with all the basics that you need. Excellent location, close to restaurants, attractions, beach and ferry terminal. Jesus is a great host! The only inconvenience is that you don't get a key to the main entrance. You will have to wait until the staff open the door for you.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Hôtel très bien placé : à la lisière de la vieille ville, il est d’ailleurs en partie construit sur les remparts et l’accès permis à sa terrasse offre une des plus belle vues sur les toits de la vieille ville (origine arabo-andalouse), le détroit et les côtes marocaines jamais si proches. En même temps, sa façade Nord donne directement sur un boulevard : l’accès à l’hôtel est donc facile et on peut aisément garer sa voiture dans l’une des petites rues desservant le quartier. Jesus, le patron est très accueillant, disponible et de bon conseil. Les chambres sont propres, les fenêtres à double vitrage et le ménage comme le lit sont faits tous les jours. Le rapport qualité-prix est très satisfaisant.

Ok but v basic

I don’t know where they took the pictures! It was ok but it was a hostel not a hotel. Breakfast was coffee and a bun with just tinned pate or peach jam. Coffee was Luke warm. Mat in bathroom threadbare and toilet ran on - But it wasn’t expensive So ok for one night.
