What a delightful find in the Old Town, it's an easy walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. Highly recommend One small issue it would be best if hotel could send check in details ( door code)to my email as I missed the text maybe it's because I have loaded a travel sim in my phone and didn't get it. Anyway only a small problem as the bar owner next door rang the manager for me.

The street for Beer and Tapas and good music.
Great guesthouse! If you want to be a part of the night life of Tarifa you are in the right place. Not a large room but I found it quite alright. Lovely french styled window looking out on the street. Did not meet any staff but instructions to get into building and room received by email were very clear and everything went smoothly.

Pleasant guesthouse on a square with a nice restaurant. Although overall quiet, guests coming and going, particularly late at night/wee hours disturbed us regularly. Reception wasn’t open on the day we arrived, despite an email on the day telling us they were, and this was disconcerting but the self help directions were easy to follow. Very very close to the port, which was convenient. Parking outside to unload our bags was a lucky fluke but would be difficult at times when the street’s restaurants and cafes were set up for outdoor dining on the road.

Great spot in the old town, nice place, not posh but its good for exploring and a bit of lively evening. The square activity at night that makes it very special. Real good vibe. Id definitely stay again.

Great spot to catch ferry to Tangiers
The guesthouse is very clean, with a comfortable bed, coffee and tea in room, and great location as 5 minutes to ferry. Unfortunately our stay was during a cold spell, the heater did not warm the room.

Perfect if you are catching the ferry in Tarifa
We only had 1 night and the Benali Guesthouse was the ideal choice for our accommodation in Tarifa. Situated in the old town and only a 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal we really enjoyed our stay. We had a great walk and meal and awoke ready to tackle Morocco the next day. Tarifa is no Granada, but does have an element of charm in the old town. The Benali Guesrhouse was clean, spacious and the balocony on our room was very nice.

No Explanations Accepted!
Lovely guesthouse if you don't mind TERRIBLE service. We telephoned ahead, as my husband is quite frail, to make sure that we would have help when we arrived for the bags and parking. We were assured that someone would be there if we arrived before 3:00PM. We rushed to be there on time, and even arrived early at 1:45PM. We were unable to bring the car close to the hotel to drop our bags, as promised, and there was no one there to help when we arrived! No note, and no explanation, but most of all no one to help us from the guesthouse!! But, for the wonderful man next door at the bar we would have had a major problem. He was able to contact the owner by phone, and get us into the hotel, he also came with me to find somewhere safe for our car......bless him. We never saw or heard from any hotel staff, until the next morning, as we were packing our car to leave. So much for service.

Bit tricky to find by car. Parked below the fort and walked the 200m around the Fort and up the lane way to the hotel.
