Hostal La Rábida is in an old home on a quiet street, away from the fray of the Mariscal neighborhood. The rooms are lovely, if a bit small, with brass or iron beds (one even has a canopy) and luxurious white down comforters. The spacious bathrooms come complete with old-fashioned wood sinks and antique fixtures. Room no. 11 has a patio and beautiful blue-and-white wallpaper, while room no. 2 is my favorite room because it has a large second-floor terrace. The beautiful breakfast room/restaurant opens onto a small garden. Overall, the hotel has a refined, British feel -- the walls are covered with botanical prints and old maps, Oriental carpets complement the hardwood floors, and every evening a fire burns in the very cozy living room.
