Brightly painted rooms offer good value, as well as the boisterous welcome from staff and easy reservation service via email. The terrace is a winner as well. If I could have a special starring system for terraces, 5 stars. "I an see Africa from here". The rooms arent huge but clean and nicely done. Easy walk from the bus station... More

Stayed here for one night 21st Oct. Best value for money in Tarifa, i have stayed at various other hotels and hostals in Tarifa, and this is the cheapest - and far superior to others, its an old house which has been turned into a hostal, so you get chance to see what the big old houses really looked like,...

Wonderful room, wonderful location, great staff and laundry service! Pretty much everything we could have wanted. The lounge upstairs on the roof was especially nice but it would be nice to have wifi everywhere rather than just up there.

I stayed for a few days in Hostal Africa in Tarifa. The beauty of the place stunned me. The colours in my room and its tasteful furniture just enchanted me and created a lovely energy. Not to mention the gorgeous view out of my window. What a place!! I felt like in a dream. The lady of the house was... More

We were looking for places to sleep and I was surprised to see that in Tarifa all the prices are a little higher than in the rest of Andalusia, we found this hostel for a good price and I have to say that for us was very ok, the room was clean and nice, everything worked well except for a... More

this hostal was perfect. The owner only speaks Spanish but that is perfectly ok with us. Only potential problem is noise because all the rooms are based off of one spiral staircase you can hear everyone, upon check-in he asks you to please respect others. Other than that beautiful place (well beautiful as far as hostals go) and extremely budget... More

We stayed here one night, room 9, at the top of several flights of stairs (no elevator) and just off the lovely roof terrace. The room was very basic but clean and colorful. Wifi worked on the roof and in our room, probably because we were so close. The hotel is centrally located in the very appealing town of Tarifa.

The decor looks like the hostal was scrubbed and painted for our arrival. Located within the old city wall it is about a 10 minute walk from the dock, or the bus station. There are lots of steps to negotiate and our room was on the small side with a high tiny window. The terrace on the roof was amazing.... More

The decor of the lobby and rooms was beautiful, and the room itself (a double with private bath for me and my husband) was simple but adequate. My favorite part was the roof terrace, which had a reading room with couches, outdoor tables and chairs, and a stunning view of the sea and Africa (hence the name, I guess!). The... More
