Aura

When I reserved this hotel, I wasn’t sure about I chose correctly because of the location, because most visitors to Algeciras are headed to Gibraltar and/or Ceuta/Tangier. And both the ferry terminal and bus station are a 25 minute walk away. But having been down near the port, and seen that it is an area in need of redevelopment, I can happily say this is a much nicer area to stay in. The hotel is a block from the supermarket, and there are restaurants a short walk away. My room on the 2nd floor is large, quiet, and have very good air conditioning. It’s an average budget hotel, so it’s a bit boring in style. But for business, or as a base for day trips, it’s a good choice. The only complaint I have is the refrigerator which is full, and has a QR code that apparently allows purchases. I don’t mind the hotel trying to make money, but please at least allow us a little space to keep a drink or a yoghurt cold. It’s southern Spain. It’s hot. We need refreshments. Like I said, I understand why you have the refrigerator that way, but as a frequent hotel guest, (you are my 7th hotel this trip) only your hotel is this way. Apart from that one annoyance, I enjoyed my stay.

I stayed at the Sercotel Aura Algeciras and the experience was very satisfying. The location is excellent, in an area with pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants and everything you need a few steps away, as well as having easy parking for free. The hotel looks very clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and comfortable, with a large TV screen and a large mirror in the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower is excellent, something that is greatly appreciated, and they also offer complete amenities: comb, toothbrush, gel, body milk and more. The only catch is that, although the bed was comfortable, it was not double but two singles together with wheels. Overall, a highly recommended hotel for its location, cleanliness, spaciousness and details.

Good hotel at a good location. The rooms are well equipped and modern. The breakfast was really excellent. It's very rich and very tasty. Perhaps the parking could be offered free of charge for the hotel guests. Anyway, we had a nice stay for 2 nights.
