Hostel El Bahia Algeciras

The location is amazing and the staff at the reception are very polite and helpful Thank you so much for your assistance and hospitality

😊: The locker in the room proposed to me was just broken. Even if it was Kelsey, it is good enough for in-house doors, not for the hotel room door. But the guy was wasn’t care about it and stopped convincing me to use this room only after understood that he also cannot absolutely lock the door. The balcony was fully covered with the dust. Tables are very old.

We booked through Booking.com. It said that they have a private area and that it costs 15 euros per car. We booked, arrived at the location and saw that the private area is a small parking lot that everyone can access. It is absolutely not a PRIVATE area. Then we asked the receptionist if it is a safe area to park our cars that contain valuables, to which the receptionist indicated that it is not and that they can NOT guarantee safety. Why do I pay 15 euros for a “private area” that anyone who walks by can easily access? Then we came up with a solution to remove 2 people from the booking who will sleep in the car, so that we know for sure that nothing happens to the cars. The hotel did not agree and did not even want to cooperate with the solution while they made a mistake. We have been trying to contact the hotel via booking.com for months, but they ignore both us and booking.com. also the hotel lied to booking.com multiple times by saying they don't speak english, while i literally spoke english to them half an hour ago because i don't speak spanish. All this because they don't want to admit their mistake.

Do not go to the place. The room is like 1950s without air condition. It is unbearable in summer. The owners tried to charge 50 pounds for using the towels and expect the towel to be clean as new. Super dodgy and cheap. no manner and services . The only is the hostel is on the beach. But no close supermarket and can’t even get water without walking 10-15.

😊: Nice location, was lucky to find free space in limited public parking. Staff was very helpful. 😢: There is no air conditioning neither central nor individual units. It can be challenging in the month of August without AC.

I booked on the day, I was emailed soon after and explained some details. On arrival the owner was very nice, helpful and welcoming. The room was on the first floor, it was very inviting being painted white with a cool blue decor. I had a sea view. It was an amazing view in the night I could see all the lights of the Rock. Perhaps the view is not so nice in the day as their are some big tankers out to sea, but for me personally I did not mind. I slept peacefully listening to the ocean. It was a very nice experience and I would recommend it.

Simple room, suited our needs and is located on a very nice sandy beach.

Hotel is not very new but it's in excellent, amazing localization directly on the beach. when you step down from hotel terrace you are already on the beautiful sandy beach. Beach is wide and very clean. Each morning there are people who clean it. When you walk along the see you can find a lot of huge pretty shells. There is not much tourists, 95% are Spanish or locals what also makes nice atmosphere. On the horizon you can find industrial views with a lot of ships and port and you can see Gibraltar from there.. AMAZING! Going back to accommodation? Rooms are quite ok but not perfect, just like a cheap hotel. In the bar you can order just a coffee. Even do not try to take breakfast there. So, very good place to stay just for sleeping, but not for eating or drinking. Enjoy!
