During our stay at La Fonda Del Califa, Nuria at reception was incredibly helpful and welcoming. She provided us with helpful recommendations for places to eat and things to see in both Arcos de la Frontera and Grazalima, our next destination. The hotel had a charming and authentic Andalucian atmosphere, with beautiful art pieces throughout. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the terrace, which came with our room.

Everything about our stay was great! 👍

The staff could not do enough for us. They were just fantastic, helpful and there to give a hand with bags, directions, where to go, what to see. Great people

wasn't long enough

This hotel is in a reaaly nice old building on one of the main streets of Arcos. Our room had 2 doors onto little balconies and had a basic ensuite with a shower over the bath. For the money we paid it was clean and comfortable and they had no issues with us having the dog with us.

Not an issue for ourselves but there was no lift so lots of stairs if your room was on the 2nd floor.

The hotel's traditional Andalusian decor and carefully preserved architectural features transported me back in time. The wooden gallery where I could stroll and relax in the cool courtyard was a delightful feature. As a senior woman, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with easy access to the main road and parking close by.

The only thing that could have made my vacation even better would be if the children working there had offered assistance with luggage.

The hotel seemed to be as close to the old town center as you can get and still use a car. It's in a great place to experience "normal" Spanish life, with lots of local activity and few tourists. But it was also in a great location for accessing the historical sites and surrounding countryside destinations. The hotel has a charming character. The day receptionist, Emilio, was super nice, helpful, and a superb source of knowledge. He spoke great English and had several ideas and tips for sightseeing - we enjoyed them all. The hotel doesn't have on-site parking, but there is a garage about 200m away with a La Fonda customer discount price (1/3 of the day price). Totally walkable. There was no included breakfast, but there are several cafes less than 200m away for a good breakfast and some people watching. We would stay there again.

Nice older hotel in town center with nice clean room with sitting area. Good bargin priced hotel. Owners/operators very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of a charming village. With its central location, you can easily explore the historic center and enjoy the picturesque streets. The rooms are comfortable, featuring nice balconies with views of the white pueblo. The staff is attentive and friendly, providing great service. Additionally, the breakfast offered is delicious, providing a perfect start to your day of exploration.

Everything was top-notch.

The pinnacle of our stay was Emilio. He was so helpful and told us much about the town and the local area. Brilliant English even though we are able to understand Spanish. nothing was too much trouble for him. Ione was also as helpful during our stay.

The hotel entrance from the street leaves much to be desired, especially the tattered flags and broken sign on the outside. The entrance is used by two different businesses and this clearly shows. Something needs to be done to give arriving guests a clear definition of the old coaching inn and its provenance. Misleading information regarding car parking however. Street noise.

Great location in the heart of the village, just a 5-minute walk from the historic center. The staff was friendly and welcoming, providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants and sights to see. The hotel facilities were well maintained, and the room was spacious and comfortable. Transportation was easy to access, with a parking garage nearby at a discounted rate.

Not obvious to find.

The hotel is old but well kept and clean, and quiet we slept well the young man that checked us in was very helpful and friendly he would get info from the computer for us and make dinner and travel sugestions the olde men at the desk were mostly not friendly the young man should get a raise $. All in all it was a great value and a wondeful stay for us.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. the location was perfect - right in the heart of the town center, close to all the historic sites and attractions. It was such a pleasure to be able to explore the beautiful old centre without having to travel far. Secondly, the attention to detail in the rooms was outstanding. I loved the room with the small terrace, it was such a treat to enjoy my morning coffee there while taking in the picturesque view of the pueblo blanco. And lastly, the breakfast provided by this hotel was delicious. I enjoyed a hearty meal with a wide variety of options to choose from. Truly a great way to start the day!

All was well, couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The hotel is located right in the heart of this beautiful town, making it a great base for exploring the local area. The rooms at this hotel are spacious and well-appointed, with charming balconies that offer lovely views. The staff at this hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure guests have a great stay.

All aspects of our stay at this hotel were absolutely fine.

Typical eurpoean place with stairs navigating around a 10x10 atruim with plants, misc. Decor and sunlight- no elevator. Cool old tile decor, wrought iron railings. Room small, but clean. Beds pretty comfortable. Proximty to local attractions was good. Easy to navgate area on foot. Rooms small but clean.. Great bartender in restaurant down stairs. Parking for free in public lot near hotel with a short climb back up to street. Help was scarce, but friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing to make you ooh or aah, , like gardens, architecture, art, views, (at least not from our room) but definately useable and not over priced.

Noise from street was pretty loud. We were there on Friday and Saturday nights... Room was hot and no batteries were in the a/c remote control (only way to turn it on) so had to keep windors open... Ear plugs helped.

nice old building in Andalusian style.

bit noisey because of traffic.

The hotel's location is quite convenient, situated on a busy street close to the center of the village. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with friendly service at check-in. The lobby has a beautiful atmosphere, and the hotel had free Moroccan tea for guests.

The noise level at night was higher than expected due to its location on a busy street.
