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

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.

Quirky
Dated and unresponsive staff, terrible breakfast
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.
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Outdated maritime decor true to its history but no less enjoyable
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
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
Breakfast, humidity damage to the rooms, outdated bathrooms. The doors of our bathooms (we had to change rooms) did not close.
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 !
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.
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
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.
