  Simple hotel in beautiful town

  14 Feb 2022

  El Rocio is really nice town, feels like going back in time when visiting it. As it was low season/ winter time, many places seemed deserted. Hotel building is really nice, with big terrace and nice lobby. Staff is not always present, so it’s important to agree on arrival time. Room was overlooking street where entrance is, but it was quite chilly during night. Wifi wasn’t working, but perhaps that was co-incident. Breakfast was cold slices and lots of packed stuff.

  Unique, quaint, authentic and hospitable

  We had no idea what to expect and that also applied to El Rocio itself. We were blown away by the beauty and authenticity of the town and this gorgeous looking hostel.Very friendly, helpful staff and our rooms were absolutely beautiful, including our terrace balcony overlooking the marismas, the iconic church and the square between these. It is stunning.Very comfortable beds, extremely clean and delightful decor. We shared a bathroom with our son who was in a separate room. There are many rooms on the floor and I was unsure whether others would share the same bathroom if they were busier or not. Worth checking if this bothers you.The bar, café area is stunning, also extending onto a terrace balcony with exquisite views. We had a 5am tour of the Doñana National Park so didn’t get breakfast, however they packed us a picnic instead and we were able to get a very good coffee from the machine before we headed out and also on our return, which was a long time after breakfast had finished! Can’t therefore comment on the breakfast offerings.The only downside here is that the floors and doors are very noisy if they have guests arriving and leaving in the middle of the night. There were at least 2 sets of people coming and going between 2 and 4am so it was a bit of a broken night’s sleep.However, this is lovely and authentic and very inexpensive if you’re happy with the hostel type set up.

  Charming

  22 Feb 2018

  This hostel was charmingly and imaginatively decorated with a blending of antiques and original art. Our bedroom faced the marshes and had a terrace which overlooked rhe famoys church ans from which we could watch the flamingos in the morning- we brought our own kettle and instant coffee, but, actually, the included breakfast began at 7 am and was most ample! Our hosts were lovely, bounding up the stairs with our suitcases! We felt most welcomed!

  Lovely views

  28 Mar 2017

  We stayed here for four nights. We had one of the rooms overlooking the salt marshes which had beautiful views. The rooms was very clean and kept so during our stay. Not large but with a private shower room and toilet in an adjacent room it was still fine for our stay. The breakfast was very reasonable with cheese, ham , fresh bread, yoghurt and fruit along with orange juice, tea and coffee. Drawbacks were the cathedral bell which rang every half hour, but the room and hotel were very quiet. The shower head could have been better and a few more coat hangers would not have gone amiss. However there was a nice feel to the hotel and the host, Jesus, was very pleasant.

  Good for what it is, no quiet sleep though!

  Probably as good as it gets around here. Don't expect too much and you may be pleasantly surprised. No good for light sleepers though as church bells ring half hourly all night, and lots of dogs barking. My room overlooking the lake was a little spartan, a table or something to spread your stuff out on would have been appreciated. However, it was spotless, and the air-conditioning worked and was quiet, also the shower was adequate.I was fortunate to get a room which had a terrace which overlooked the lake complete with flamingoes, the bird life here is fabulous, although I'm not a birder, I would defy anyone not to be impressed. I would agree with earlier comments on El Rocio - Clint Eastwood wouldn't be out of place here, and it's VERY dusty, so don't bother with fancy shoes, take old trainers. Sadly, the breakfast at El Cazadero was awful, just rolls , coffee and jam.Restaurants here aren't up to much either, the one at the far end of town , Malvia ( I think ) was best, and they serve a nice Rioja wine as house red).
