We were backpacking around the South of Spain, wanted cheap, clean, quiet, friendly pensions or hostels, with bathroom.
Los Arcos gave us: a cheap, clean, quiet room with bathroom, hazzle free. The building is beautifully tiled with a really nice patio where guests can sit down and relax. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They don't have air conditioning, but the architecture keeps the rooms fresh and they do provide a fan and heating if you go in winter. There is a shared TV outside the rooms in a little balcony overlooking the patio.
The staff are not super friendly, but are helpful and it is evident they keep the place clean and tidy.
The location is in the old part of the town perfect for the Mosque and the Palace, just a few minutes walk. Bus no. 3 stops a few steps outside the hotel (beware if you want to go to the bus/train station, you have to go down to the end of the road and turn right at the river front for the bus stop).
We really enjoyed our stay.
