    Pros +

    • We loved our stay at El Ancla, the garden, decor and atmosphere really appealed to us. Lovely staff, great breakfast and best location close to the beach. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean.
    • Beautiful old property a block from the beach. Classic nautical decor. Simple breakfast in soothing garden. Great restaurants nearby.
    • The garden and the staff where great. Just off the Camino trail.

    Cons -

    • Dog foul in the garden. Beds were old and very uncomfortable. It needs investment to qualify for better reviews. Shabby but not sheek.
    • Would have liked a tea/coffee station in the room. There was none.
    • Dated and unresponsive staff, terrible breakfast

    Not a lot really- maybe some time ago this was a good hotel with character- but lack investment

    Dog foul in the garden. Beds were old and very uncomfortable. It needs investment to qualify for better reviews. Shabby but not sheek.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Good facility for storing and charging our ebikes. Light breakfast included in price. Well located for continuing on Camino del Norte. Lovely spacious room and bathroom. A very comfortable stay.

    Would have liked a tea/coffee station in the room. There was none.

    Staff excellent, looked after our bicycles in a secure room. Very comfortable sitting room. Bar with interesting drinks.Woken by birdsong.Cute dogs

    Walls a bit thin, you could hear other people. Would have liked some protein at breakfast.

    6TraceyPosted on: 4-23-2025

    The garden and hotel grounds were nice.

    Breakfast,rooms,no hot water,hotel cold,room cold, payment required the minute we are checked in,second question asked.over all not a pleasant experience.

    The garden was beautiful, and the hotel was very charming. The staff was incredibly nice. Special thank you to María and Silver! They had prepared a dog gift for our dog when we arrived and they were extremely helpful with the dog's food and other random chores. They really went above and beyond for us. The area is amazing, and they really are a 5 minute walk from the beach. The town is so cute, we'll definitely be back!

    Location, ocean breezes, spacious grounds, beautiful garden area, and delicious breakfast

    Outdated maritime decor true to its history but no less enjoyable

    7JohnPosted on: 12-5-2024

    Property was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Mattress was uncomfortable. Breakfast was mainly cakes and pastries. No fruit juice or cereal.

    location and staff

    rooms were dated and needed an overhaul

    8OksanaPosted on: 10-15-2024

    I really love the interior of the hotel. It really amazing. The territory is so great!

    The smell in the room , the bed and the room insulation. I can hear the noise from other rooms, it feels uncomfortable if you have the issues with dream

    2FrankPosted on: 9-23-2024

    Breakfast, humidity damage to the rooms, outdated bathrooms. The doors of our bathooms (we had to change rooms) did not close.

    6MeehanPosted on: 9-21-2024

    The lady behind reception was lovely and very friendly with good English but had to do too many tasks cleaning hoovering! Give her a break !

    7NicolePosted on: 9-21-2024

    It was very sweet and the having breakfast in the garden was lovely. Comfortable beds! A quick walk to both the beach and into town ??

    It’s very old and therefore a bit clunky with noises from the pipes and doors etc.

    9LorrainePosted on: 9-15-2024

    The bar area was extremely comfortable and had a very homely feel,the showers were very powerful and the place was spotlessly clean,great location and would definitely recommend

    All lovely

    8RobPosted on: 9-12-2024

    The staff are lovely. The location is spot on. It has a lovely traditional atmosphere.

    The lack of air conditioning prevents me giving it a 10. Luckily we didn’t stay in the height of summer.
