El Puerto de Santa Maria Castle of San Marcos Hotels

"We stayed here 10 days. My husband cooked almost every night and loved how well supplied the kitchen was. I was grateful that the beds are more comfortable than the average rock slab that seems to be the mainstay in Portugal and Spain (LOL). The water heater cannot handle two hot showers in a row, so you'll want to space them out, and the shower is very small, so be aware if you are a bigger person. I am a very light sleeper and the road noise bothered me. My husband is not a light sleeper and he slept fine. It's an easy walk to multiple grocery stores and the market, to the ferry dock, and to the train station. The weather was not conducive to us using the rooftop patio, but it was an awesome space and is a definite bonus. We felt very safe exploring the area. Communication with the host was excellent. Thanks for a nice stay!"

"Everything I wished for, near the river, train and bus station, nightlife, day life,history. Easy to navigate, great people easy to make a Canadian at home. Loved it"

"Friendly helpful staff. The accomodation is comfortable and very clean. Situated at the heart of El Puerto de Santa Maria within easy reach of all sites of interest, shops, bars and restaurants. The Chaikana has been a great find, so much so that we returned for a second stay."

"Great location,public parking step to suite,24hrs parking was 8 euro. Host was friendly and helpful.clean and beautiful building."

"Room was basic, breakfast was okay, staff were present "

"While the property was clean it was significantly dated and the room I had booked with a bed for 2 turned out to be 2 small beds separated across the room which was not what I expected or wanted. The property also had a fusty/ smoky smell which was off-putting."
