Charming hotel in the centre of Arcos
Stayed for one night in this Morrocan style designed hotel. The staff was very friendly, and unlike in many other hotels in the Andalucia, the owner spoke perfect english. There was no space outside the hotel to park our car but there's an underground car park around the corner where you can leave your car for a discounted price. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable. The old town was within a walking distance from the hotel.

A meh experience
First the front desk agent couldn't find our reservation. Then she put us in the wrong room category (lacking a terrace). Next we had to take our bags up 2 flights of stairs. The floor in the room had dry wine stains and you couldn't lock the balcony door. I would avoid this place.

Great staff!
This is an old place with some upgrades and a basic comfort. Any downsides were overcome by the great service provided by Emiiio at the front desk. When the Wifi didn't work, he took are of that. When we wanted recommendations about places to eat, he provided several options and suggested what to order.

Hotel is ok
Location of hotel was convenient, close to everything we wanted to see. 24hr Parking structure was nearby for our car. Our room was overlooking main street and it was very noisy at night. Didn't have any sleep, no rest during our 1 night stay. Room was inexpensive, good enough to stay for 1 night just request for a room away from the street. Restaurant located in hotel was good.

Literalmente, nos salvaron la vida!!! Llegamos a eso de las 00:30 porque el ferry que llegaba a Cádiz llegó 14 horas tarde y tuvimos que reservar en el último momento. A pesar de que el check-in estaba cerrado desde las 21:00, pudimos llamar a un teléfono y una amable señora bajó a abrirnos la puerta y enseñarnos nuestra habitación. Gracias a su amabilidad pudimos dormir como personas mis dos hijos y yo. Literalmente nos salvaron la vida porque al día siguiente pude conducir hacia Navarra descansado y seguro. Gracias, gracias, gracias 🙏 Se lo recomiendo a todos.

Ubicación ideal
La ubicación es ideal, justo donde comienza el casco antiguo. Estaba muy limpio y la habitación amplia. Muy recomendable y económico. El único fallo es que la llave de la habitación y de la puerta trasera no funcionaba correctamente.

Een hotel met stijl
Een leuk hotel in een bijzonder gebouw (uit 1850) dat mooi is gedecoreerd en dat hoort bij de stijl van het stadje. Kamers met redelijk komfort. Wij sliepen op 2e etage en je moet met de trap. Personeel zeer behulpzaam. Vrij parkeren op 10 minuten lopen.
