Hostal Cazaza is a budget accommodation option in the heart of Melilla's city centre at Calle Primo de Rivera 6, one of the main commercial avenues in Spain's autonomous enclave on the north coast of Africa. At rates of €30–€55 per night, it ranks among the most affordable places to stay in Melilla, appealing to backpackers, budget travellers, overlanders crossing between Europe and Morocco via the Beni Enzar border, and visitors on extended stays who prioritise cost and central location over private facilities. Accommodation is available in single rooms, double rooms, and shared dormitory configurations, the last of which further reduces the per-night cost for travellers open to communal sleeping arrangements. Some rooms share bathroom facilities, while private rooms with en-suite bathrooms are available at a modest premium. All rooms have air conditioning and television. The hostal's position on Calle Primo de Rivera puts it within easy walking distance of the Plaza de España, the entrance to Melilla la Vieja's fortifications, and the commercial streets of the modern city where shops, pharmacies, and eateries cater to the daily needs of residents and visitors. The Beni Enzar border crossing into Morocco — a primary draw for budget travellers using Melilla as a transit hub between Europe and North Africa — is reachable by local bus from nearby stops or by taxi in approximately 15 minutes. The Melilla ferry terminal for crossings to Almería and Málaga is a 10–15 minute walk. The hostal's diverse room types, covering dormitory, single, and double configurations, make it one of the most flexible budget options in Melilla across different group sizes and solo itineraries, and its position on Primo de Rivera is among the most walkable in the city for access to heritage sites, restaurants, and transport connections.
