Location was perfect, Room small but was fresh and clean,and quiet. we slept well and was happy to have little fridge to keep water cool.Thank you.

We would have loved a kettle and cups for a cup of tea.!!!

If you are travelling to Almeria for holiday and looking for a hotel, look no further than Hotel Costasol. There are many reasons for this recommendation. LOCATION – It is centrally placed in the city along a main thoroughfare. Bus 30 from the airport drops you about 6-10 mins walk from the hotel. The vast majority of the tourist sites and the promenade are within walking distance. We were there for four days and apart from the bus from/to the airport, we did not use any other transport. We walked to all the tourist sites. ROOM – The room was a good size (we had opted for a slightly bigger room) and it was done up nice. The beds were comfortable and multiple pillows were provided. The only downside for us was that there was no kettle with associated tea bags and coffee etc that hotels in UK generally provide. This was easily rectified by the front desk when we asked for a kettle. However, we had to buy the tea bags and milk at a local shop – not an issue. ROOM CLEANING – Spic and Span when we came back for a siesta after out morning touring each day. BREAKFAST – Continental breakfast is provided with ample variations. For those used to a strong cuppa (like me), I would recommend you bring some tea bags with you to breakfast as most/all the tea bags were of a flavoured or mild type. STAFF – The front desk was always manned, and all the staff were polite, helpful and always greeted you with a smile. We asked them about various things during our stay and they were always very helpful. Very good.

Fantastic location for a start. The reception staff are extremely helpful. The room was small but had everything needed, the bed was so comfortable! Also it was a nice and quiet room. The best part is the wonderful rooftop terrace where you can sit and relax and look at the view!

The room was very dark during the day with little daylight ( only a wall outside the window) Little fresh air coming in. the terrace was only open 10am-10.30pm which, as a smoker, was a shame as the only option for a last smoke is to stand outside the front door on a main street ( in pyjamas;)

All the staff members were really friendly and helpful. Location was in the center of the city, 15 min walk to the beach, 7 min walk to the Alcazaba and cathedral, 5 min walk to get a bus (costs are €1,05 pp) to Centro Commercial and a 12 min ride to the airport by taxi or about 20 min with the bus (also €1,05). The hotel also has a very nice rooftop on the 6th floor with an amazing view. The room had a bathtub, shampoo, new towels everyday, bed was made everyday and also clean floors.

We first got a room with a lot of noice of airconditioning from the outside of the room, got worse by night. But we got another room as soon we told them the problem.

Very nice hotel in very nice area of city, overall good quality of everything (besides the taste of tap water, but that's an Almeria issue), nice coffee and vending machine and nice breakfast for a reasonable price. Good noise insulation from the street, beautiful roof top terrace.

I had a single room with an strange bathroom setup with an uncomfortable very narrow toilet area. The hotel being so quiet (double double windows!) what I could actually hear was the AC on my neighbours' terrace go on and off, probably more vibration through the ground than noise itself.

The hotel was situated in the city centre, around 1 km from the beach and the station. We had a quiet room with a fridge and an old but working A/C. The room was cleaned every day and it was spacious. In the bathroom there was a window.

The beds and some parts seemed to be renovated but some parts, like the door, the A/C and the whole bathroom were older. The beds were not very comfortable, the A/C and the fridge were much too noisy so we had to turn them off for the night. You have to use a key with a heavy keyring to get to the room, not a modern card which you can see in every modern hotel.

Lovely hotel ideal for our one night stay whilst in transit from Barcelona to Los Gallardos, arrived early and although our original room wasnt ready the receptionist quickly changed us to the same room on a different floor that was ready most accomodating and helpful, the room was clean, a fair size, comfy bed, location perfect for us only 10 min walk to bus station, breakfast was good if a bit basic (no hot food) but still plenty of choice

There wasnt any tea/coffee making facilities in the room

The room I was initially allocated did not have a good view, so I asked to change and this was immediately granted. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to cut short my stay by 7 days and even though I was legally obliged to pay to the end of the stay under the terms of my booking, the hotel only charged me for the number of nights I had actually stayed. This was exceptional service as the offer was made without me asking. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. There was a selection of pillows to suit all tastes. The liquid soap provided for the shower was of a good quality and vegan-based. A comfy armchair with a cushion was provided, as well as a good-sized desk and chair. The decor was modern, bright and inviting. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful.

A kettle was not provided for making tea and coffee. However, I took my own so this was not an issue for me, but would be for some travellers. There are a number of steps leading up to the entrance to the hotel, and there is no ramp or small lift. As a result it was a challenge for me to get a very heavy suitcase up the steps. If the above issues were resolved I think that this hotel would easily fall within the bracket of 4 stars.

One night stay at the end of my tour of Andalucia. Convenient access from Almeria Station. Supermarket a short walk away. Decent sized, quiet, nice looking room. Staff were great and helped me get a taxi to the airport. I didn't get around to trying their breakfast menu but I'm sure that it would have been great. I would like to stay there for several nights in future.

I thought that there was a restaurant there, but I'm not sure now.

For me an ideal location - in the heart of the city, within a few yards of the old quarter and main shopping area, and a ten- minute walk from the excellent promenade and beach. I had a room on the fifth floor with a balcony overlooking one of the city's busiest thoroughfares. Some may prefer a quieter site but it was where I wanted to be. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. It was also great value and for the same reason I'd recommend the breakfast at around 7 euros.
