Hostal Tarifa

It is surprising that in 2025 a hotel still cannot accommodate a calm, trained, medically prescribed support dog, even with full documentation. I had expected more awareness and empathy from a hospitality business. Unfortunately, my request was refused and I was informed they only accept guide dogs for blind guests. This is a missed opportunity to be more inclusive and adapt to the real needs of modern travellers. Other hotels in the area have no issue welcoming assistance animals, which makes this policy feel especially outdated.

Stayed because of parking (electric vehicle parking available too). The hotel was extremely loud at night, could hear everyone talking and … doing other things. Not sure if it was actually clean (found hair in bed, ants in room). It’s very basic. Glad it was only for 1 night.

The hotel is well located, clean, and has an underground car park, which was very convenient. Overall, we had a good stay and most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, our experience with the breakfast staff was disappointing. Although we hadn’t booked breakfast in advance, we wanted to have it on one morning and were, of course, willing to pay for it. However, the staff member in charge was noticeably unfriendly and made us feel very unwelcome. She seemed annoyed, rushed us unnecessarily while ordering, and treated us quite disrespectfully—as if we were a nuisance. It’s a real shame, as everything else about the hotel was great!
