Hotel Alboran is a small, 2-star property in Carboneras, Spain, well suited to budget travelers who want an easy base for beach days and day trips. Located on C. Pedro Cazorla Escánez 2, it keeps things straightforward: free WiFi helps you stay connected, and luggage storage makes it easier to arrive early or explore before check-in.
