Hostal Colón Don Miguel — Hotel in Cádiz

We arrived in Cadiz on a road trip thinking it would be easy to get a room however we didnt realise that the same week was an official holiday for Spain and a big party was to be had therefore any room was in dire shortage having been booked in advance by the visiting spaniards. We were on the verge of having to pay a ridiculous amount for a nights stay in one of the bigger (Very Posh) hotels when we thought we would try this place as a last resort - they had one room left with facilities but we had to get there within 10 mins as there were many people interested - well this was fun as if you have ever been to Cadiz you will find out how easy it is to get lost in the back streets but to our relief we indeed did find it.||The room was on the 3rd (top) floor which was a bit of a struggle with a suitcase (no lift in these type of places) but it was spotlessly clean, with twin beds and an on-suite bathroom with enclosed shower cubicle.||The young lady at reception was lovely and so helpful, as were all the other staff (family) that we came into contact with over our 2 night stay. ||As I said the room itself was spotless, the air con was really good, it was quiet and the shower power was amazing - small toiletries were available too as in all other hotels.||The roof terrace is small, has plenty of seating and offers amazing views over the roof tops of the streets although it was very hot up there, an umbrella would have been good to sit under - if we had been staying longer I would have asked if one was available but as we didnt really want to spend time up there I didnt bother.||The hotel is in a side street which is very close to all the main area's its in a brilliant location. There is car access to drop off and pick up but I dare you to find your way around the streets to find it! :)||There are plenty of car parks, but they are expensive and there are also areas on the streets that you can buy a ticket for - there is one car park over by the old dock area that is cheaper per day but we found a space behind the railway station and left the car there, no ticket machine, no attendant and the car was ok - not a good place for you to walk on your own though in the dark so as long as its in the daytime your leaving and collecting there is no problem.||Cadiz is worth a visit, its amazing as a city and also the beach, this was a lovely surprise. We will definitely be visiting again and if possible will be booking to stay again at...

This is a small, family run place in a great location for a reasonable price. The daughter Eva has very good english (the parents not so much, but all were very nice and helpful). Eva gave us a map, and marked places of interest. Our room was a bit small with 2 beds. The en-suite bathroom was very nice. I believe some rooms may not be en-suite.The air conditioning worked fine and the room was fairly quiet. The place was spotlessly clean. There restaurants and shops within a 10 minute walk. The hostal is about a 10-15 minute walk from the bus/train station. When we mentioned we were morning tea drinkers, Eva put out a kettle and tea bags. Overall, a...

On arrival, our host proposed that instead of taking a room on the second floor (no lift) we should take advantage of their little 2 roomed flat round the corner on the ground floor for the same price. Fully equipped with all the facilities for self-catering, a comfy sofa and a bedroom and bathroom, and serviced daily, we were delighted to accept.||||There is no a/c, but we found that with the windows open in the bedroom and the living room, there was a good through circulation of air and during the day we used the big fan in the living room. Only disadvantage was that it was a bit noisy at night but we enjoyed the space, the privacy and our own...
