Hotel Casa Blanco

The description of the place is deceiving, it hardly has a Moroccan feel. It is small, stark, and cold feeling. The doors to the rooms are not very secure - they look like closet doors, the toilet, shower, and bathroom sink are all in a small wet room with low ceilings - everything gets wet. The bed wasn’t very good. The street noise is super loud. The location is good being right in the main square.

My wife and I spent ten nights at Hotel Casa Blanco during a recent trip to Tarifa. There is no doubt that location is the hotel's strong point. Close to bars, restaurants, shops, monuments and other attractions it is difficult to imagine a more central location. The flip side of this is parking which is almost impossible in nearby streets. We left the rental car at a car park, about 300 meters away but it is free of charge only until the Holy Week. The hotel offers no breakfast service which is not an issue at all given the wealth of options nearby (I personally had breakfast at Casa 10 in the same street as Casa Blanco). The hotel occupies an old and nicely renovated building at a street corner. Our room (number 3) overlooked the street making it potentially noisy during peak season. It was quite small, especially considering that it was designed for three persons with an additional bed located over the bathroom (and accessible with a ladder). Storage spaces are almost non existent. Bathroom is extremely tiny with the shower squeezed between the toilet and the bathroom sink and separated from them by two plastic curtains. Pretty basic. All this comes at a very reasonable price (53 € per night). Overall Hotel Casa Blanco is not a bad option for those looking at an accommodation in the heart of Tarifa. One must only be aware of the place's limitations.

A comfortable place to stay in a fantastic central location in Tarifa and good value for money. Unfortunately the paper thin walls meant we could hear rather more of our neighbour's late night activities than we wanted to.
