Hotel Costasol

Location: Universally praised for being central, near attractions , and within walking distance of restaurants and shops.

Stayed 3 nights in the Hotel Costasol while on a recent trip to the area and very pleased with the hotel, it's in a great location, the hotel is clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Booked a superior room as it had a balcony which was nice and also it was bigger than the standard double so it was great to have the extra space. The bed was very comfortable, the electronic shutters meant your room was totally dark at night and in the morning sun. Although the hotel is on a busy street, I did not hear any noise . The bathroom was a good size too with a lovely long tub so great to have a soak after a long day in the sun and sightseeing. There is plenty of wardrobe space and lots of hangers too ! Breakfast was included in my rate and it was perfectly satisfactory. Everything is cold but of good quality. Choice of cold meats, avocado, mozzarella, other cheeses and tomato. There was also bread to toast and assorted rolls and pastries too as well as fruit, yogurt and cereal. The orange juice was especially nice and fresh tasting. The roof terrace was a great space to have your own drink or just relax on one of the chairs in the sun or in the shaded space. There is a Carrefour Market just up the street so you can buy a few beers or a bottle of wine to chill in your fridge as the hotel does not have a bar. There was a kettle to make tea or coffee which was a nice touch. The AC worked very well which was needed as did the wifi. There was parking available on nearby streets, free after 14.00 on a Saturday and free all day Sunday , Monday to Friday it was around €2 for 3 hours. Almeria is a nice little city and the hotel is in a great location to explore the castle and visit nearby restaurants and sights. PS the tourist train is only €4 and runs from Plaza de Emilio Pérez at the end of the street , have fun !
