Al Andalus Jerez

Al Andalus is not without its faults. So let's get them out of the way. Our room was missing a shower door, the air conditioning had a mind of its own and at times seemed to be possessed by a poltergeist, the rooms are small... and that's it. But. There are two lovely courtyards, and the whole place exudes charm. The staff are fantastic – really friendly and helpful and on hand 24 hours a day. You can't beat the location – five minutes of walking takes you right up to Plaza Arenal, and you're also close to some of Jerez's lesser-known gems such as Gitarron and Pasteleria Jesus. And the killer is the price. It's unbelievably cheap, something you can't ignore now that Jerez is becoming The Place To Go. There are better hotels in Jerez, and many of them cost four or five times what you'll pay here. It's a genuine gem of a place, and you can either grumble about its limitations or accept them and treat it as a place to sleep when you're not out exploring this magical town.

This has got to be one of the worst rooms that I have ever stayed in. First, the lady at the desk was very rude. She spoke no English or French or German but still insisted on shouting in Spanish although I told her that I didn't understand. The main complaint however was how filthy the room was. Dirty and greasy. How the cleaning lady kept her job is a mystery. The walls were stained as well. The room was falling apart. AC worked but the cover was missing and it blew bits of black debris all over the floor. There may be some nice rooms but I wouldn't bet on it. Besides, do you want to take a chance?? Stayed in room 10, by the way.

Beautiful inside court surrounded by rather small rooms. Arabic romantic atmosphere with flowers and decorative walls. Downside was lack of any breakfast possibility. Good money value in the cat two star hotel. Location very good to walk to down town and cafes and bars near by. Thanks!
