Hostal Alhaja Playa

It was an affordable alternative to staying in Cadiz. There is a small park nearby with opportunities for walking my dog. The beach is also a 5 minute walk. I had an issue because the listing promised a balcony but the manager explained to me that because I was traveling with a dog I had to have a room on the bottom floor, nevertheless I was offered a different room on the upper floor. I felt that the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The floor of the room was dirty. Walking barefooted inside the room my feet were soiled instantly. It wasn’t necessarily dirty but it wasn’t exactly clean either. Take an extra 10 minutes to mop the floor. Its expected.

The room was spacious, and cleaned and bed made every day. Staff very friendly and helpful and I loved Simba the resident cat. I bought some porridge, blueberries and soya milk, and the staff very kindly made my porridge for me each morning, which was lovely. It takes 2 minutes in a microwave.

I thought the breakfast could have been better. I didn't like the coffee or the processed cheese.
