Casa Caracol

Best hostel in Cadiz hands down! One of the best hostels in existence. From the staff to the all around vibes, very comfortable and cozy. An extremely optimal location with everything a few mins walk away. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and not that crowded, the rooftop area has hammocks and a nice chilled area to relax in after a long day walking or hanging at the beach. Social atmosphere on point. Much love and respect to all!

This hostel was exactly what I needed! The staff was friendly (thank you Ruben and Julia for being so accommodating) and the place was very clean and such a beautiful space :) I stayed in the rooftop private room and it was the best of both worlds: comfortable area to myself with common areas to meet a ton of very fun and interesting travelers. The central location made this hostel the most convenient spot to stop by in between sightseeing! I had many wonderful meals here and I must say Rayhan makes the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Thank you so much, Nico and all your wonderful crew!

Truly enjoyed my stay here and spent time with the staff since I stayed for quite some time. (Initially planned a couple nights but after the first night extended for weeks). I also stayed at Planeta Cadiz while Caracol was under repairs before I could stay, and the difference is apparent. Neither were bad in anyway, but vibes are really nice in Caracol and I recommend to bring good vibes with you to add to it. I'll just say Gaudi inspired interior with no shortage of character. Join the family dinner, say hi to another solo traveler, and enjoy!

Before coming to this place, you have to adjust your expectations. If someone is looking for closeness and a friendly atmosphere, they will definitely find it here. Rubén (the one who accommodated me there) was a funny, friendly and present guide. The music from the kitchen starts to play at noon, it touches your body and sets the tone for your day. Whispers of people from different cultures sharing their experiences. It is an experience at sea and in the port after a whole day of exploring Cadiz The roof is great for a cigarette and a beer 😀 Practical things - everything is clean, the night is undisturbed, the staff is reliable and helpful, the atmosphere is family-like, charger, breakfast 👌, the possibility to wash clothes, the kitchen and your necessities were here, price for center hostel 🤝👍

Had a great stay. The hostel is social, but not crazy loud and really cozy. Most of all though, the staff were all super nice and made you feel very welcome. Would book it again any time.

Stayed at the rooftop room. Really nice and cosy. Just a small appointment to the shower that is broken and does not holds vertical. Staff is very friendly. I brought my bicycle and they offered me the possibility to store it in a closed laundry. Ruben was very helpful always offering help and advices.

I really enjoyed the stay at Caracol. One of the best hostels i have ever been.The Team, on one Hand the volunteer and on the other hand the receptionists, were super kind and friendly and made a lovely breakfast every morning (for free ;)). I'll definitely come back to this beautiful place.

Really lovely and friendly place. The People were very nice and they even made breakfast for everyone. One of the best hostels I have visited. I would definitely Recommend👍

I stayed at Casa Caracol this past Spring as a last stop in Andalucia after taking the train to Madrid and leaving Spain. This was a great last stop. The hostel is very friendly and intimate. Other hostels I've stayed at can feel more like hotels, but this resembles a bed and breakfast. The common room is used by many guests, as is the kitchen, creating a sense of community. The beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean, and the location was great. A short walk from the train station, shaded by buildings around it, and close to the city hall square. I would stay again if I came back!

I loved staying in this hostel. Danny, who I think is the owner, is hilarious and a total character. The rest of the staff are delightful and so helpful. The hostel has a friendly atmosphere and is beautifully decorated and clean. The hostel is centrally located; it is no more than a 10 minute walk from the train station and is close to the beach. Every morning from 9:00am-10:30am there is a free breakfast of pancakes, cereal and milk and/or tea and coffee. Breakfast is a good opportunity to meet the other backpackers staying in the hostel. Everyone gets a very spacious drawer to put all their belongings in. Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip to Spain.

Casa Caracol was probably the best hostel I stayed in during my last trip to Spain (visited BCN, Granada & Sevilla). The rooftop with the hammocks and open shower were awesome, all the staff were fantastic and even gave us some awesome suggestions for restaurants and bars to visit. I LOVED that they had beach cruisers for rent for 5 euro, I used one every day. Because of Casa Caracol my stay in Cadiz was perfect! Will be back!

Cadiz amazing. Casa Caracol the bomb. Incredibly nice people: guests and staff. The rooftop is amazing and it's pretty cool that they generate their own solar-energy. We loved this place and even after a few days we felt like part of the furniture. Place really reminded me of the way chilled but friendly beach hostels were in Australia in the early 2000's.

After traveling all over Spain, I really enjoyed this hostel. It had good facilities, a comfortable bed (we stayed in the private room) in a beautiful location and building rich in history. We rented bikes from the hostel and rode all over Cadiz. It was a magical stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Great place, great people. One of the best hostels I've been to. The space itself is great, multiple areas to chill, including a nice rooftop. This fosters a good sense of community among the people who are staying there. I met some real friends here

i still remember walking up to this hostel and being greeted with friendly guests playing the guitar in the doorway. this was a great stay in an amazing location in Cadiz. friendly and helpful staff who provided great recommendations for exploring the city as well as helping me find my way to my next city. the rooftop with hammocks is a spot that i could have spent hours just hanging out in. highly recommend, and if i ever have the fortune of visiting Cadiz again, i would undoubtedly stay here again.

This has been one of the better hostels I have stayed at. The location was great and right next to the city hall, and the staff was absolutely fantastic. They offer free breakfast every morning (with pancakes!!) and a cheap 5€ dinner at night which usually is pretty good. Due to the free breakfast and cheap dinner, a lot of people hangout in the common areas during this time so the atmosphere is great and it's fairly easy to make friends. The hostel is clean and I saw people cleaning the bathrooms and bedrooms everyday (the bed sheets even smell clean)! The beds are comfortable and the rooms are reasonably spacious. They have options for all girl dorms, so if you're like me, you're in luck :) The hostel also has a rooftop terrace with hammocks, if you're looking for a good place to nap. I will absolutely recommend this hostel in the future as it has a great atmosphere at a very reasonable price!

What a gem! I stayed here for a couple nights back in January and had a lovely time. It's convenient to all the major spots--train station, beach, main square, market--and it somehow feels cozy & intimate while having a lot of places to relax. The rooftop is awesome, and the other lounges are very comfortable. Very cool design touches throughout. Delicious pancake breakfast. Very kind & knowledgeable staff. Comfy beds & spacious lockers. Would absolutely recommend to anyone going to Cadiz!

Casa Caracol was so fun!! I only stayed for one night, but it was such a welcoming and friendly place, especially while traveling solo. The barbeque on the open rooftop seemed excellent, and a group of us went out to the local bars together. The young lady helping out at the front desk was so nice and took me on a tour of the main communal areas in the building, as well as up to my room. Thank you all!
