Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 15th September 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: was a bit surprise to discover our room at the bac kof the kitchen, but the staff is very very nice, and since it\'s right on the beach. Very good in the end.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 2nd November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The hostel itself is almost impossible to find, not to mention it isn't even located in Cadiz as advertised. In order to get to Cadiz, or anywhere for that matter, you have to take two buses which gets very expensive, very fast. The one positive is that it is located right on the beach and has a beautiful view. The building itself looks fairly shabby from the outside but is more like a hotel than a hostel on the inside. We were also the only ones in the entire hostel, including the owners who live a few blocks away. The owners themselves seemed nice for the five minutes that we saw them, but were not even there when we attempted to check in. When checking in make sure you have a phone to call them multiple times and an hour plus to kill.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 8th October 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: I thought it would have been cadiz where we were supposed to stay but it turned out to be far away from that town. nevertheless, a nice stay though. so just make sure in advance where you are going to stay overnight if it is cadiz or somewherelse. it may change your travel plans.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 12th October 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: the hostel is directly at the beach. we had a room with direkt view on the ocean, but if you want to do culturalthings you have to know, that the hostel is about 25km away from cadiz, but you can take a bus to near citys easily. nice hostel for a beachstay, but a littlebit expensiv in my oppinion espessial the food in the restaurant, which is in the hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 28th September 2008 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: When wanting to checkout at 9:30 in the morning there was no staff to be found and we left the money for our room behind. Within a few hours we received an email from then without any excuses but with an extra bill for a breakfast and drink that we "forgot" to pay. Not really my style of doing business to be honest!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 23rd September 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: its very far away from cadiz you have to take 2 buses and it takes you one and a half hour.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 8th September 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: If you book via hostels.com, breakfast is NOT included although it costs 35€/ night. You'd better book via telephone, because then you pay 35 and don't have to pay breakfast extra.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 3rd September 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: Great please o relax. bu please do not think thi i Cadiz it i miles away from the city. and not much to do it´s a great plce to relax on the bach but thats all

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 28th June 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Hostal was in an excellent location. Rooms got very hot and air con was essential which worked well. Shower was a good size and rooms were cleaned well but could have changed towels more often. Staff were helpful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 14th June 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This hostel was in the most beautiful location, if your after a nice quiet beachside holiday then this is for you. The lady at reception was very welcoming and all around were smiling faces. The room, and bathroom couldve been cleaned a little better daily but it was nothing major and its only a small buisness. We´d definately recommend it and would return in a second.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 31st May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: hard to find, confusing about checkin-out, great beach, NOT ACTUALLY IN THE CITY as I thought

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 29th May 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Went there on May 28th (off season). Location is great,on the beach with a very nice vue. Staff is great and food is good. You need a car because the Hostal is far from the city.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 16th March 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: This hostel was great....however it is in a small beachside community about 30 minutes from Cadiz....the directions were not very efficient and there were very few signs to tell you where to go....not even just for the hostal but also hard to even find the general area. The hostal is right on the beach....very nice views!! The room was very spacious and clean.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 25th May 2007 Male - 3/5 Comments: !!! Around 40 min out of Cadiz City Center by Car (close to Novi Sanct Petri) !!! That means at least very poor but the location directly at the nice beach made it up. Big Touristic Area around. Good: 90 min to Sevilla, 30 min to Trafalgar, 90 min to Gibraltar (all by car). Good for recreation. Beware: Speed controlling police maniacs often everywhere in this area.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 25th October 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The three flats are right on the beach but right above a restaurant so it was a bit loud and I can imagine it could get really loud. The location was fantastic though with a terrace overlooking the beach

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 13th October 2007 Couple 41+ 1/5 Comments: We arrived at the hotel to be told that there "was a problem with the room" even though we had booked over 3 weeks before? We chose this hotel because of location to Jerez airport (25k it states) but it is 50k to the airport and over 25 to the train station that states is 5k. We had to get a taxi to the airport which cost 70 euros, as we would have not been able to get to the airport on time as we were on pedal cycles and would have took over2- 3 hours to get to airport compared to 1 ish hour. Was not happy it was 40 minutes by taxi. We should have been contacted to tell us the room was not available. We were put in a 1 star hotel but still had to pay the same... Not Happy

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th September 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Sarah (an employee at the hostel) was very sweet and helpful. Although this hostel is rather far from central Cadiz, it offers a delightful view of the beach, and the rooms are very clean and enjoyable. We were very pleased with our whole experience!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 23rd September 2007 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: We stayed in a downstairs room, which although didn't have sea views from the window when you walked into the bar which was literally outside of the door then you could sit on the patio just metres from the beach. It did feel strange being so close to the bar, but the location more than made up for this.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd September 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Not close at all to Cadiz, but very nice. Located on a great beach, but about 25 minutes from Cadiz proper.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 20th June 2007 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: excellent place with masses of great beach for quite little accomodation. You do not need go anywhere else as shops and bars are close enough. The one big importance is that it is a far way away from cadiz and san fernando (much more than the 5 k advertised ) so expect a 25 ish euro cost for a taxi to anywhere else usefull.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 19th May 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Great hostal if you're looking for an easy access to the beach: it is right on its shore. Clean and safe. A bit tough to find though.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 20th May 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This is a hotel, not a hostel. We were glad to get out private room with nice shower after traveling around for a while staying at hostels. The bed is comfortable and we have AC in our room. The location is by far the best ever! We're right on the Barrosa beach with good view of the sunset on the balcony. The restaurant down stairs is also pretty good. If you're looking for a break from your tavels this is definitely the place to recharge!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 16th May 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: "Hostal El Campanario in Cadiz", not in Cadiz city. The posting doesn´t make this obvious and it´s easy to make a mistake.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd May 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This Hostal was extremely nice, clean, and had a perfect view of La Barossa beach, since it is a beach front hostal. All the staff was very friendly, even with the language barrier. The restaurant/bar is a great place to relax and actually get good food. Stay here and take in the beach and locals, you wont regret it!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 11th April 2007 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: Great place for couples right on the beach!! Far from main part of Cadiz but VERY beautiful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Portugal 1st May 2007 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: I payed 11,50€, and when i got there i didn't had a room, that i had booked! The staff said that they didn't had my reservation; So i would like to complain, and get a refund of my 11,50€. Still the staff were nice enough to get an alternative place. Even tough i was pretty upset. One thing is to be 5 feet from the beach, another its 500 yards from the beach.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Romania 18th March 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: They are closing the hostel during night so if you plan to reach late be sure to notify them in advance !!! In case you can't there is a small note on the door with a phone number "for emergency purposes" ;)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 28th April 2007 Couple 41+ 3/5 Comments: The Hostal El Campanario is not in Cadiz, it is on the beach a few kilometres from Chiclana which itself is a 30 minute bus ride from Cadiz. Our directions were that it was 5 kilometres from San Fernando train station - it was not - it was a 25 kilometre taxi ride, luckily the driver had a good idea where it was otherwise we would never have found it. It was not what we expected but the location and helpful staff more than made up for it. Very good value for money (half price compared to hostal in Seville)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 23rd April 2007 Mixed Group 41+ 3/5 Comments: Klein aber Fein, Direkt am Strand und Peisgünstig.Hat nur einen fehler, wer früh aufsteht bekommt kein früstück (erst ab 10 Uhr)sonst Klasse

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 10th April 2007 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: right on a beautiful beach, but kinda far from cadiz and a little bit of a hassle to get to (via 2 buses). worth the trip tho.
