Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel El Armador Casa Palacio

Having the space in the lounge area and the rooftop patio made this a gem. It was very central to the old town area with many bars and restaurants in walking distance

We loved our stay! If available would thoroughly recommend the penthouse suite - even better than the photos! Two ensuite bedrooms with good wardrobe space and a large kitchen/living room. It was light and spacious. The terrace was HUGE! Comfortably furnished with the buzz from the street below. Perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. Before our arrival we were given advice on parking. And on check-in we received a warm welcome and tips on restaurants etc The only thing lacking was hair conditioner - i was able to pick some up for a few euros from the supermarket next door. We'd love to return. Cadiz is very relaxed.

Really do feel like you are in a "palace" when you walk through that front door. They have kept many of the original details which make the place special. We had a room off off the street, so not much of a view but it is on one of the main streets of Cadiz so it was quieter option. The beds were great and the staff was very helpful. It is such a great option for a family. The roof wasn't open when we were there so I can't comment on that, but it was a great area to get to know Cadiz. Everything walkable from this space. We booked one night and ended up staying 2!

This hotel was gorgeous the lobby the rooms they were super spacious and super pretty. I love that they had a washing machine in the room so you could do your laundry and they had a rack where you could air it out to dry. It was really convenient because I have been traveling for a couple of days and had some dirty clothes that I needed to wash. They provide you with the laundry detergent and the softener which I found very convenient. One thing I would comment on is that if you go in the spring months like March to May it might be a little bit chilly outside and because their AC unit is central they won’t turn on the AC so you might be a little bit warm in the room. We did open the windows and it had good airflow so we slept fine, but it was warm if you didn’t.

Great stay with one exception: our room was part of an adjoining room with someone we did not know. There was a door between us which left very little privacy as we could even heard them snoring. This was disappointing because everything else about the hotel we loved.

This apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Photos are true to the reality. Good wifi, beautiful terrace great shower and fabulous communication. Access and check in were super easy and safe. We loved our stay here and will be back! Thank you.

Fantastic stay! Highly recommend the penthouse! 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with a huge rooftop terrace! So much natural light comes through this apartment. The location was perfect…easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go and surrounded by great restaurants. It was very clean, and the beds and pillows were comfortable.

Spacious rooms. Lovely architecture. Réception was great. Close to everything

Beautifully restored property in a wonderfull position, within easy walking distance to all the sites to see. Conchita on reception was delightful and extremely helpful. Parking was only a 3 minute walk away. The apartment was spacious with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Extremely quiet due to the quality of the balcony doors. Highly recommended.

I would strongly discourage this property if you are considering a 2 bedroom unit. The resort website shows lots of photos of rooms with windows to the outdoors, however the 2 bedroom unit is what they called “interior”. There were no windows. None. It was like being in a dungeon. We could never tell the weather outside or get any fresh air. We felt very claustrophobic as well unsafe. Further the kitchen is not properly equipped for cooking. We also were told on the day of arrival that we could check in at 330pm, however when we arrived we were told the unit wasn’t ready and had to wait for hours in the tiny lobby until 6:30. When we brought our concerns to the front desk attendant they provided no solution. We asked to leave and get a refund for the unused time and were told no. We ended up leaving & just paying because it was so terrible.

Great location. Quiet, studio apartment with small balconies over pleasant pedestrian street. Well-equipped for a short (6 night) stay. Attractive public space. Friendly reception staff. I’d certainly stay here again.

Wonderful staff!

A very nice apartment with very comfortable beds. It has everything you need for an excellent stay in Cádiz.

I loved this hotel. It is so quaint and the hospitality was exceptional! I wish we had been able to stay more than one night

Very nice room, view of street. Handy to shopping and walking areas.

Absolutely loved staying here. I wish we had planned to stay longer.

A fabulous place - perfect apartment - beautifully furnished in a lovely building - a great welcome from the reception person - I wish that we were staying longer

Wow what an amazing space! Perfect studio with all amenities required! Had a comfy stay, friendly team and very helpful! Highly recommend staying here and of course Cadiz speaks for itself!

Beautiful building right in the centre of the old town with very friendly and helpful staff. We had the penthouse which is very spacious with a huge private terrace and had everything you could possibly need - extremely well equipped. Parking is available in Plaza San Antonio - 50 metres away - at €25/ 24 hrs. Probably cheaper options, but it’s very convenient.

Great locale. Hotel has character and suites are spacious. There wasn’t a functional dryer, as advertised, but they did have a drying rack and there’s a laundromat one minute away.
