the hotel torreluz is in the middle of the city, Almeria has few things to do
hotel 3 is better, all belong to the same owner, this looks like a 4 stars, fully refurbished rooms
the staff is friendly like all the people in Andalucia
the food great, in front in the restaurant is 15.5 euros, nice gurullos ( typical food)

I stayed in Torreluz III for 8 nights while attending a conference at the university, in the newly renovated 5th floor. By looking north out my window I could see the Alcazaba which was a great bonus. Their breakfast is a typical for Spain but a great option. The Taberna next to the lobby is a great first stop on a tapas tour of Almeria, just head south on any of the streets parallel to Paseo de Almeria for more!

One warning: they are currently remodeling floors 2-4 (July 2011) and said it would be several months before they are done. This means there is a lot of hammering noise until about 8pm weekdays, so jetlag napping might not be possible here until late 2011. I don't know if this is the case for the Torreluz II which is in a nearby building.

This midrange hotel offer excellent value for money.
Location couldn't be better: right in the center of this lively town.
Staff are very professional and friendly.
Rooms are clean, but on the small side.
The hotel is slightly noisy because of wooden floors.

This hotel is situated on a nice little square where you can sit out in the evening for a drink or some tapas. The hotel staff are very professional and welcoming and the rooms are very nice. Use the hotel parking if possible as it it cheaper than the nearby underground car park.

I wouldn't go back to Almeria but if I had to I would stay here.
