Home Sweet Home
Apartment was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway and the kind of hostel where I’d choose to be a long stay guest. Room was perfectly furnished with a large loft bed which left plenty of room for working at the desk and couch below. Large kitchen, delicious free breakfast, and seemingly great volunteers. Would definitely stay again!

Nice basic hostel in good location
Nice basic hostel in an excellent location. Loads of restaurants in the surrounding streets. 7 mins walk from the train and bus station. Friendly staff. I stayed in the room beside reception and liked it particularly because of the price and total privacy. However it is a vibrant area of the hostel and somewhat noisy. The showers and bathroom facilities are excellent. I would stay there again. Recommended for the more tolerant travellers seeking a great price.

Lovely hostel! Very unique and interesting place. The staff was great and the atmosphere is very friendly and comfort. It's quite noisy so not the place if you would like to sleep well.

Groovy man, are you hip to the scene?
Our stay was a flash to the past, to the late '60s & early '70s. Casa Carcol isn't for everyone,, but if you want to experience (or relive) the hippie revolution, sans drugs, it is a trip. Funky, warm, friendly, and full of joyous camaraderie with folks of all ages, from all over the world. You have the opportunity to share meals (and step in and cook if you have a mind to), stories, make new friends and plans, with a background of great music, changed to suit the mood of the gatherings, sit around a warm fire on a cold evening. It is hostel style, with private rooms to dorms with bunk beds, and shared baths (there are seven, so pick the one you like best), If you are the adventetous type, and you want a fun experience, not just an off-the-rack bedroom, and located in the heart of Cadiz Cuidad Antigua, it's a perfect flop! We were there over Christmas, and we felt like we were amongst family ... well, except for that French guy, but you know ...

I thought it was great, not having stayed at a back-packers hotel before (even though my room was in an annexe). There was a social area on the roof and what could have been a communal breakfast if I didn't have an early train. From reception to checkout - all cool!

I've never been impressed with my stays in hostels until my stay at Casa Caracol. From the moment I walked in, I could sense that the staff make an effort to create a sense of community and the numerous staff members on site ensure a pleasant stay. The room and hotel is cleaned several times each day and wi-fi is available throughout the entire hostel, and not just in the common areas. There are several washrooms, and I never had to wait for the one on my floor (or for the outdoor, rooftop shower).

My favourite hostel! Great atmosphere, really lovely friendly staff. I felt very at home here. Super location right in the heart of Cadiz. I enjoyed the tacos night, it was cheap and a great way to meet other people.

Das gesamte Personal im Casa Caracol ist sehr freundlich, ständig erreichbar und die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist wirklich super. Es liegt mitten im Zentrum nicht weit vom Strand entfernt. Das Hostel hat neben dem Hauptgebäude ca. fünf Minuten entfernt ein weiteres Gebäude mit mehreren Zimmern, welches zwar nicht barrierefrei ist, aber über eine tolle Dachterrasse mit Sitzgelegenheiten und Hängematte verfügt. In beiden Gebäuden ist eine Küche vorhanden, Bettwäsche und Handtücher werden gestellt. Die Zimmer verfügen über eine Klimaanlage. Das Casa de Piratas hat leider keinen Aufzug und unser Zimmer mit Hochebene auf der sich das Doppelbett befand, war etwas gefährlich, da man auf beiden Seiten durch fehlende Begrenzungen in der Nacht aus dem Bett hätte fallen können. Trotzdem für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Cádiz absolut empfehlenswert.

Personal amable pero imposible descansar
En conjunto muy decepcionante, lo único que se salva es el personal que son bastante amables. El resto pésimo. Nos pusieron en una habitación justo en la recepción, la cual también se comunicaba con la cocina, así que habia un ruido siempre que hacía imposible descansar (esa habitación no debería de existir ahí, sino con el resto de habitaciones que estaban más alejadas). Por otra parte, en cuanto al tema de desayuno no era nada higiénico ya que teniamos que fregar al terminar los platos y la esponja estaba super sucia y sin lavavajillas para desinfectar. Y ya el colmo fue que tenias que limpiar con la fregona cuando terminabas de ducharte, hemos estado en muchos hostales y jamás hemos tenido que hacer esto.
