Centrally located in Tarifa’s Old Quarter, this guest house is 10 minutes’ walk from the beach and marina. Its rooftop sun terrace offers excellent views over the town to Morocco.

All air-conditioned rooms at Room Tarifa feature a private balcony and flat-screen TV. There is free Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with a shower.

I noticed that given the space, someone put great thought into planning how a person could be comfortable and accomplish certain common daily tasks. For me, 6'1", I was able to sleep and shower and have a delicious breakfast given the small footprint of the hotel. It's also very cute.

I Had a great stay at La cocotera hostel in Tarifa. The hostel helped me to combine working from their coworking in the morning with kitesurfing in the afternoon. I had an amazing week and the staff was very friendly and helpful

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is a very cozy pet friendly hotel with a good atmosphere. Great location and excellent service. Special thanks to Arthur for his attention. I was surprised by the amazing food and very reasonable prices in the restaurant. A must visit for travelers.

    Could be a great hostel, but I take of 1 point for the cheap beds, 1 point because the air conditioning in the room was broken, and 2 points of for the awful bathroom and showers

    Great location, kind and positive staff, huge and well equipped kitchen, great garden to chill and eat outside, comfortable living room with sofas and long dining/working table. I stayed in a mixed dorm. Bunk bed had a curtains all over to keep privacy, shelf for few necessities and plug-in to charge whatever I need. I appreciated the large bathroom. Even thought it's shared with another room, I rarely had to wait to have a shower. The hostel seemed busy, but I had a great sleep :). I really enjoyed my stay 💕. Thank you!

    The property was a great location we could take a short walk to everywhere, also parking space available on request with a small extra fee, very clean. All amenities were brand new. Netflix available and electric shutters, very safe and well secured apartment. The owners of the apartment very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
