Beautiful Andalucian house with cute interior patio. Small rooms but adequate. We didn’t like the bathrooms because had no doors, only curtains and the bathroom walls did not reach the ceiling. We had to take turns out of the room, to have some privacy while we used the bathroom…

Gerald is a perfect host: charming, and he goes out of his way to make sure that your stay at El Ruiz Andaluza is everything it should be. We would have stayed longer, but his property was fully booked for the next week.

The room we got was so small. There was no tv, small fridge, snall bed, and very poor running air conditioning. My son stayed down the street in a hostel and he had a better room, more spacious, better air conditioning, a tv, a huge private bathroom, and lots of light. This place is not worth the money. The only good thing about this place is its location.

El Riad Andaluz is a delightful hotel on a quiet pedestrian street. The central atrium with many climbing plants is a lovely place to sit. The owner (with his very friendly cat) looked after us well. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the Badiane room, which is decorated in a lovely way. The downside is that the window opens to the corridor that is connected to the inner courtyard. It does have air conditioning. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard for tea and coffee.

Beautiful guest house with lush terrace in the middle. Gerald was easy to reach via WhatsApp. I loved that the rooms had a name, mine was “cardamom” and I love having a real key for the room. My room had a window opened to the terrace and it looked like a painting. I had cleaning service during the day which is not common anymore and I appreciated that. The location is perfect, I walked everywhere. I parked in the parking garage on a nearby street and that was fine. Overall lovely.

Our room was excellent. Clean linens, great location, and even parking was close (it took about 20 mins to find a spot, but worth it). The only thing i would say to improve is it would be nice to have a personal fridge to keep food cool in.

Quiet, clean, well located inn.
Cozy, well located, quiet place. The riad is located in a quiet, pedestrian street, centrally located, but away from loud bars. The rooms are well lit and look much better in person. The place offers beach towels and umbrellas to take to the beach, along with recommendations for breakfast and lunch spots.
