What a nice, clean room, with a spacious bathroom! Convenient to the old town, port, restaurants near the port, the bus station, grocery store. Good price. Unfortunately we could only stay 1 night. It was too windy for the boat to go to Morocco AND a strike the following day was going to make it very difficult to travel to... More

My husband and I stayed here for a night on a trip through Spain. The place was pretty much what I had expected. It was a no frills place with friendly staff. We were taking the boat into Tangier, Morocco the next day, and Tarifa is the perfect location to leave from for this (boats from here go directly into... More

Spent two nights here while day-tripping to Morocco. The town is very pleasant and convenient for the Morocco trip. The hotel was ok, but not memorable. Parking was not easy and the neighborhood is not the greatest. More

I stayed here for two nights and really liked the place. Easy walk to the bus station, old town, port, and the beaches. Very nice room that was clean and comfortable. I went through Tarifa on my way to Tangier and was coming back to stay for two days. On the way to the port to catch my boat to... More

We drove in from Granada and the hotel was well signed and easy to locate. Parking on the street in front was free. The hotel staff were friendly and very welcoming. The room was not overly fancy but it had all amenities and the overall hotel was very clean. The proprietor had realized that he over charged us for our... More

The Alborada is a handy and clean hotel a short distance (5 minute walk) from the old town, with a very friendly staff. The hotel was very easy to find using our GPS. Parking was on the street, and we generallly had no problem finding a parking spot. The continrntal breakfast was excellent, but sparse, and not worth the money.... More

Most of the other reviews have covered everything, except that the bus station is a level 5 min. walk away, and that the helpful staff at the hotel will help to arrange a tour package with guide to meet you in Morocco. After squeezing his muscles and 50 oranges, staff member Quino even drove us to the port in the... More

We were traveling with a tour group or else I would not have even stopped in Tarifa. However, the Alborada was good for one night's stay before journeying on to Morocco. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel employees were friendly. Some of the tour members complained about the meager breakfast, but I really enjoyed the fresh squeezed... More

The Alborada is in the newer part of Tarifa, outside the old town walls. The hotel/hostal is on a corner, but although many rooms overlook the road, it's a quite location with little traffic noise. The rooms and the public areas are all sparkling clean. Our bathroom, fully tiled, had a bath (with shower in it) and a hairdryer, and... More

for the price its perfect. we stayed here 2 nights for our day trip to Tangier and we couldn't have asked for more. Great breakfast, internet, nice rooms, parking on the street, 10 min walk to the ferry to tangier. i would imagine in the summer this place is crawling with surfers and beach goers. Just great. More
