This hotel is literally right in the heart of everything going on in old town Tarifa. The town is alive and humming both day and night, right outside the hotel. The hotel entrance is just down a side street (a couple hundred feet off the main street), so it gets surprisingly quiet in the hotel.
My adult son and I were in room 13, the highest room in the building. Although our room was only a few $ more than regular rooms, it was called a deluxe apartment, and was an incredibly spacious room, with a small kitchenette (stove burner, sink, fridge), a large bed and large sofa bed that the staff was kind enough to make into a bed for us in advance of our arrival. Very clean room. The bathroom has obviously been updated and is roomy and posh. The front desk staff (Kadri in the mornings, and a young man who is a college student in the afternoon/evening -- I think his name is Pepe?) were both soo kind and helpful (Kadri in her advance correspondence with me, and Pepe in helping me set up a day trip via ferry to Tangiers when we arrived at the hotel).
For parking, my son pulled the car up near the hotel -- I dashed in to check in and get info on parking. We parked at a nearby lot, which was only about $20 a day.
We stayed in five different cities during our visit to Spain this August, and this was definitely our favorite hotel of all. I highly, highly, highly recommend!!!
