All air-conditioned rooms at Hostal Puerto Genovés feature a blue-and-white décor and classic furnishings. Each has a private bathroom with bath tub. Some rooms are adapted for wheelchair users.

Great value and location close to the beach and restaurants. Very quiet, and it was great to have a private terrace. As a perk, the owner offered a free and very varied breakfast. There was also a dry climate garden with labeled plants and their country of origin. Very much enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay there again.

    The hostel is well located. Close to the beach and many restaurants. I asked for a quiet room so I could not hear any noise from the street (I could from the neighbours though). The room and toilet were spacious.
