Hotel La Codorniz in Tarifa

Stayed one night in winter on my way through which was ok. There is a row of bungalows at the back of a main building of which the restaurant was closed

The room was comfortable with a good working ac heater.

Internet was poor and failed from time to time. Moreover I got a warning that the router software was outdated and not safe to use.

There was no breakfast buffet but I could makevmy own warm sandwich with good ham and cheese

Everything was exactly as sold and the big tick was the air conditioning working regardless of the time of day or temperature.

4 and 5 star hotels that I have stayed in on this trip don't advertise the AC isn't available all the time.

It's only when you arrive you find this out.
La Codorniz AC just worked and kept the room pleasant. Big big tick.

Room was clean, comfortable and everything about our stay matched or went above our expectations.

Parking was free

Regret not using the pool but we were only there for one night.

Great place rooms are clean and location next to the ocean is great. What is worth to mention that the place is cleaned and managed by good and honest people - we left valuable thing in the room and we get it back with help of stuff ;)

We stayed there for 2 night. According to it's price it is a great choice. The rooms are clean and simple. The staff is nice and place is authentic. We liked it. Ideal choice for a few days.

The accommodations of the Cordoniz are very quaint.
Nevertheless, unless you have a car, you are entirely dependant on taxis to get around.

Very good food, reasonable
Prices, friendly staff, and an easy access location.

When I booked the place, I had doubts about the quality, based on the previous reviews and photos. I have to say my doubts were not founded. I had a room in the boongalows, which is a U shape part of the residency, facing a small garden with grass, roses and small trees and an internal parking (the parking is closed overnight, from 24:00 to 6:00). Although the hotels is on the main road from Tarifa to Cadiz, the bungalow rooms are behind the main building, so they are very quiet. Behind the bungalows there is a small swimming pool and sunbathing areas, all spotless clean and well maintained. The beds are a bit hard (for my taste), but good quality, perfectly clean and well maintained. The WiFi is on and off, as the main antenna is in the main hotel building. Overall I liked the accomodation, very quiet and peaceful. In the monring one can take a cold breakfast: selection of meat, cheese, tomatoes, youghurts, jams and toasted bread for an incredible low price.... totally recommended! And great coffee too! All the personnel in the reception and bar/restaurant area were very helful and ready to offer advices and help. The place is perfect if you have a car, as the parking is free and secure; not sure what are the transport options for public tranport, as the place feels quite remote. By car, Tarifa is 5min away (plenty of bars and restaurants) and the beach is just across the main road, crossing a small forest.

The seafood soup at the restaurant was AMAZING! Friendly service! We will be back!!

The hotel is very, very clean. The staff are all attentive and professional, and there are a lot of staff too so the service is very good. Great pool area and a short walk over the road to the beach. I would recommend choosing one of the bungalows as the rooms in the main building can be noisy. The food is excellent - lots of locals eat there and it is a local favourite.
