Hotels in Ceuta

Ceuta is not a stopover destination, although sometimes it may seem like one. It's worth taking your time to think about accommodation because the city has some particularities you won't find on the mainland. There are 39 accommodations available on HotelsCasa, with an average price of 134 euros per night and the cheapest at 106. The average category is around 3.3 stars, so don't expect large luxury hotels, but rather functional and well-located options. Most are apartments (25), followed by hotels (6), holiday homes (4), guest houses (3) and one villa. That already tells you that the traveler who comes here is looking for independence rather than resort services.

As for areas, the center and the seafront are the most practical. The center concentrates shops, restaurants and public transport, and from there you can walk to most places. The port and Marina area brings you closer to the promenade and the views of the Peñón, but the noise from the ferries can be annoying if you sleep with the window open. The Hadú neighborhood is more residential and quiet, with somewhat lower prices, but you'll have to take a taxi or bus to get down to the center. The area around la Ribera beach is pleasant in summer, although outside the season there is less atmosphere. If you come by car, check whether the accommodation has parking, because parking in the center is complicated and expensive.

Prices drop considerably outside July and August, and also during the week. Weekends go up because of passing tourism coming from the mainland, so if you can, travel from Sunday to Thursday. To get there, the usual way is the ferry from Algeciras (about 30-60 minutes) or the helicopter from Málaga if you're in a hurry. Once there, you get around well on foot, by city bus or by taxi; the journeys are short. Before booking, check whether the apartment has an elevator, because many old buildings don't have one, and confirm whether the kitchen is equipped if you plan to cook. Also look at the reviews about noise and insulation, because some accommodations are above bars or streets with a lot of traffic. Real examples you'll see in the listing are Oh Nice Revellin Ceuta, Millan Astray or the flat “Beatiful and full-equipped flat in the city center”, which give you an idea of the mix between hotels and apartments.
