“Great location two minutes from ferry terminal”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Don’t let the Hostel name deter you because this is a nice, clean option for anyone who wants to be near the ferry or walking distance to many of the shop and restaurants near the fort. We did not book ahead but we had the names of several of the Trip Advisor recommended hotels with us. We had no idea of where we should stay, park in relation to the ferry that we were taking the next morning. As it turned out, right in the square where we parked was a tourist information office and they told us this hotel was the closest to the terminal and was just two minutes away. We ended up taking our car to an overnight parking garage and walked back (5 minutes or less). We had a small room in the main building. It was very clean with twin beds, a night stand, desk and chair. It was very inexpensive and had wifi included. The man who was at the desk did not speak English or French but we managed between his poor English and our poor Spanish. The only drawback was the bathroom was very clean but smelled musty.

“Convenient in good location”

I stayed 2 nights, one in the old part of the hotel which has OK, the other in the new annexe, which was much better and nicer. Restaurant good, breakfast a little unimaginative. Perfect location next to the ferry terminal to Tarifa and the old castle.

“Great stay, friendly staff, clean, perfect location.”

Clean rooms, right in the centre next to great restaurants (eg La Pescaderia, or breakfast at Bamboo). Only downside is that you can't sleep with open windows because it's a bit too noisy but rooms have A/C so it's ok. Btw, Tripadvisor shows this hotel to be in Sevilla on the map, but it is indeed in Tarifa.

“Great little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We recently stayed overnight in Hostal Alameda in Tarifa as a stopover on our way to Granada. Hostal Alameda is conveniently located directly across from the ferry to Morocco, and is clean, quiet, and affordable. Hourly, on-street parking is available, but if you’re not interested in being a slave to the meter, you might want to park in the parking garage located about two blocks away. There are plenty of places to eat in Tarifa, but if you want to stay close to the hostal, there are plenty of good restaurants in which to eat right on Paseo Alameda. I recommend Hostal Alameda and would certainly stay there again.

“Great location, clean rooms and friendly staff”

We booked this Hostal at the last minute once we figured out how early we needed to catch the boat to Morocco. What a great spot in a lovely little town. Our room was clean and quiet. We had them bring an extra twin bed in to accomodate our two kids. It was a tight fit, but it all worked out. The rooms have free wi-fi and the restaurant had dollar beers. We got the kids pizza/gnocchi at a great little place on the "inside of the wall" and ice cream in the cutest little spot around the corner and then we had a great grown up dinner two doors down at a place (I think) called the Pescataria. I cannot remember, but it was delicious. The hostal is kind of no frills, but what do you expect for $100???
