The best available Lodges to stay near Andalucia

April 26, 2023 Leonarda Pillsbury

Distinctive architecture, sun-drenched resorts and eclectic small towns dot Andalusia, a dry, mountainous region of southern Spain that maintains echoes of its Moorish occupation. Spring and fall bring balmy temperatures, ideal for visiting Seville's cathedral, the world's largest Gothic structure, and the 1,200-year-old mosque in Córdoba. Romantics love Granada, home to the fortress of Alhambra and an inspiration to the late poet Federico García Lorca. Don't miss a dip in the sea along the Costa del Sol.

The hotel is in a rural peaceful location with lovely views and handy for several mountains villages. Wonderful welcome from the owners Clay and Rachel and staff, in particular Amanda ,who is one of the smiliest people we have met. They made us feel instantly at home . Top notch dinner and hugely generous breakfast..will need to diet on return to the UK. Great room with huge bed. Will be back with a doubt.

Lovely place to stay in the Albaicin

Reviewed By Fleming75

This small hotel is high up in the Albaicin in a tiny side street. Taxis will drop you off at the end of the street and it a hairy experience as they navigate the tiny streets and tight corners! It has a lovely patio where a complimentary typically Spanish breakfast is served each morning. We had a room with a small shared patio from which there was a view if you stood of the Alhambra and the distant Sierra Nevada. The main patio serving all the rooms was lovely and a peaceful place to sit with many flowering shrubs. Our room was small but beautifully furnished and very quiet to sleep. The owner Ainhoa was fabulous and with Carmen, gave a very personal service; I was recovering from a broken ankle and the steep cobbled streets were not easy for me (note for anyone with mobility issues). Ainhoa recommended nearby fabulous restaurants and how we should see Granada in my circumstances and called us taxis which were so cheap and quick to come. I thoroughly recommend this as somewhere to stay.

A Delightful Spanish Stay

Reviewed By lauren155002

Carlos is the ultimate Spanish gentleman....gracious, knowledgeable, and thank goodness, willing and able to accompany us down the street to act as translator with a local dentist....who was excellent, by the way. Rosa is delightful....very outgoing and loving, artistic. While tricky to find and even more so to find parking, it is well worth the minor effort. The location is perfect....a couple of short blocks from the Triana Bridge, we were able to walk to the Real Alcazar.....which Rosa was able to reserve tickets for us when forgot to until a couple of weeks before arriving. We were able to continue our touring by foot and back to the B&B in time to freshen up before heading off to various restaurants recommended by Carlos. We would gladly stay there in the future....bright, comfortable, good company, central to sites and restaurants, and away from the hustle and bustle.

Hi, I used to go and sleep over, but this time I would like to leave an amazing review about the new restaurant and its food. We went to have a dinner there with some friends, the service was excellent, and food completely amazing in this unique environment. I highly recommend that if you can’t enjoy the night at the cave but you pass nearly please try the food at the restaurant, specially the rabbit pate and risotto, we live in London and can tell you that is one of the best I ate in my live. Thank you guys and see you next year. Guille IB

Sleep with ANTS

Reviewed By mutsuconan

This hotel is the most terrible I experienced. When I checked-in this hostel. It seems not like the pictures what I saw when I booked it. It is old, rotten and dirty. Besides the environment, I found a lot of ants in the rooms and other insects in the open area. I told to staff but they ignored me and their front desk always closed. Staffs seem lazy to sleep in official hour.

Convenient first night stop

Arrived quite late at Malaga airport and by the time we arrived Marieangela had left so we had the code to enter the guest house and settle ourselves in. It’s super clean, quiet and comfortable. Facilities are shared and there is a kitchen with all required basics. Each room has its own cupboard for food and shelf in the fridge. We managed to park in the street though we were lucky. There are plenty of pay for parking garages close by if you have a car and not lucky enough to bag a parking spot (all free and unrestricted.

Two night stay on half-board. Room was very nice, beds comfortable, heating worked well. Fridge in the room is a bonus. Nice terrace. Bathroom also good, nice quality towels. Both breakfast and lunch were delicious. Local products used by the chef. All the staff were friendly and helpful. My Mother is on crutches, so the lift to the accommodation was a real help. Bought a bag of oranges from them to take home, and they are so good. We have re-booked.

Hostal Avenida

Strategically located at the heart of the town of Tabernas, Hostal Avenida offers you all the comfort at the best price. Our rooms are fully equipped and our staff ready to meet your needs so that you can enjoy the fabulous nature of our region, its culture and leisure activities. The beautiful XVI century church, which is visible from your rooms, is worth a visit as well as the Moorish castle that guards the town. Take a hike into the desert and enjoy the awesome landscape of the badlands, which is unique in Europe. Film lovers can also pay a visit to the Western thematic parks, which are located at less than 5 minutes from our Hostal, and feel like a character of their favourite movies. Hostal Avenida is also an ideal location for speed lovers, visiting the Almeria's track race (Circuito de Velocidad de Almeria) which is only 10 minutes away. There are plenty of bars and restaurants very close by where you can taste our local specialities, the beautiful Natural Park of Cabo de Gata-Nijar with its wild beaches is also only 45 kilometres away.

Good location with great value

Reviewed By HarryJackson1656

Clean and tidy basic accommodation, an ideal base for touring the area. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Finding a parking space close by can be a bit 'hit and miss' so we opted for a 5min walk to either the public carpark or easy on street parking. The hostal has no facilities but there are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk offering everything from coffee to tapas or menu of the day. (La Dalia gastro pub is definitely worth a visit!) The town of Tabernas is ideally situated not only for the nearby 'Western' attractions but also for Almeria, the several nature parks in the region and the many, as yet, unspoilt beaches and coves. If you don't fancy driving into Almeria, then there is a local bus service which takes about 40mins to the main bus depot. Only downside was a slight, but noticeable smell of drainage from the bathroom, however we later discovered that the problem appeared to be with the public sewer rather than the hostal itself! Overall the hostal represents excellent value for money and is thoroughly recommended.
