L'Boutique Tarifa is, per its name, a little boutique hotel in the town of Tarifa. The staff is…read moresuper-friendly and helpful. When we arrived, close to midnight, I really wanted to go see the lights of Tangiers, which I'd read were very visible from the Plaza del Miramar. The owner very kindly offered to drive around town with us, to show us the sites, right then. How cool is that? The hotel was easy to find, even with our lying Google Maps lady's directions. Small, practical, family-run hotel with chic contemporary style. Very personal and relaxed atmosphere. Rooms are cheerful, clean, and meet all the standard needs. Bath has a sizable shower, by Euro standards. Their combination of IKEA and vinyl decals made for pretty sleek boutique hotel decor! Atmosphere was perfect for this Boho surfing/beach town! They use conventional keys, and you get a blue key for your room, plus silver key to access the hotel at all hours. Free Wifi with strong connection!!! This hotel is conveniently located near authentic Spanish restaurants and two grocery stores. Tarifa is a small town, so it's difficult to get lost. You are pretty safe finding your way around whether walking or driving here, though driving you will be hampered by one-way streets (as with any town we visited in Spain). The downtown area is where all the sites are, as well as the trendier restaurants. It did make more sense for us to drive to the downtown coastal area, when sightseeing (Castillo de Guzmán, Puerto de Tarifa, Plaza del Miramar, Isla de Tarifa, etc.). In the off-season it was not difficult to find metered street parking, although I can imagine this would be difficult in the summer months. Tarifa is a very cool casual beach town, with a Cali-type feel. L'Boutique Tarifa embodies this feeling, and offers very reasonable rates on informal accommodations with all you need, and no hype or fuss, which is perfect for a beach stay.

We stayed in Tarifa the evening we came back from a day trip to Tangier. This hotel was lovely…read more Our room was very tiny, but the bed was comfortable, the room clean, and the decor just lovely. The bathroom was also very tiny, but clean, and stocked with the usual amenities. Some notes: -It can get VERY loud. The rooms all face out on the bar area which can disrupt your sleep if you're in bed before midnight. Bring earplugs. The night we were there they were having a huge party and there was a man playing the guitar and singing. We actually opened the windows of our room to listen, but if you are trying to sleep, this might be an issue. -There is free wifi in the lobby. Just ask the front desk for a password. -They will stow your bags for you if you arrive and your room is not ready. -Free buffet breakfast that was quite good. We enjoyed mimosas and toast in their lovely cafe. There is yogurt, ham, cheese, and coffee available as well. -No television in the room. We didn't care, but if that matters to you, just an FYI. -There is a small shop and a spa on site if you're so inclined. I think we paid 75 euros for our room and it was worth every penny. It's close to the dock if you're planning on taking the ferry to Tangier, and also walkable from the bus station if you arrive that way. (We took the bus from Sevilla.) Highly recommended if you're in Tarifa!

To start a good review (perversely) on a bad note: the rooms at La Sacristia are not the biggest,…read moreand in peak season they're not the cheapest, either. Hotel stays aren't determined by fixtures, fittings or facilities, though - it's the time you have that make them. And the time we had was fantastic. We had a great meal in the buzzy bar/restaurant (a mixture of local tuna and local beef, if memory serves), a stroll round the block on a summer's evening for a couple more drinks followed by a great night's sleep. The next morning, up for breakfast and a wander round the lovely old town (which the hotel is at the heart of). Objectively speaking, La Sacristia was good. But for some reason we just had an amazing time - so I'll always remember it very fondly.

Maria Jose and Luca the owners give you a warm welcome and were nice and friendly to everybody equal if family or backpacker (special: you can do your laundry, up to ten kilo for 10,-EUR). The location of the Pension is in the centre of the old town of Tarifa, opposite the post office and near the church. The price was reasonable (we paid 50,-EUR for a triple in june). I can recommend this Pension to everybody.

Situated just a stone's throw from the heart of Tarifa's Old Town, the Hostal provides a warm,…read morefriendly, traditional Spanish welcome. Sorry folks, but you will need more than the basic few words as the staff speak no English. The Hostal's location - at the end of a tiny side street - makes this a little difficult to spot straightaway, but it's prime spot in the centre of town is the ideal base from which to explore the maze of cobbled streets. The rooms are clean, modern, attractively furnished and compactly comfortable. A word of warning however you will become very familiar with the Iglesia de San Mateo's clocktower throughout the night!

The compound is divided in two parts by the Málaga-Cadíz highway but the sides are connected by an underground crosswalk and both have a pool with lounge chairs. The rooms are spacious and bathrooms are compete with bidets. Free covered parking provided. There is a convenience store next door for your snacking needs if you feel overwhelmed by Andalusian menu and don't feel like joining locals and travelers alike at the hotel restaurant. The highway noise can be a bit annoying but that's until you immerse into local ambiance. And it does get quiet at night).
