Hotel El Babú

- super friendly owner, helpful, and generous- Highly recommend the breakfast: for just 9€ you get very generous amounts of really nice home made food- Superb location between mountain and beach- with just 7 rooms, it's all very personal and convivial- can park on-premises- nice bar and seating areas- quite a large room

- You have to accept the inconveniences of an old house, such as squeaky wooden floors, and a bathroom that could really use some renovating- Indicated to have a restaurant, we didn't see it open though- The pictures on booking.com give a bit of a rosier impression of the rooms than their actual state

Everything. Lovely host, amazing views, beautiful shared spaces including huge living room on site bar and comfortable bed. Nice homemade breakfast and next door bar and restaurant. Outside patio area. I loved this accommodation. Slightly off the Camino route but worth the detour.

The bathroom was not up to the standard of the rest of the property. Adequate but dated.

Beautiful hotel in the foot of the mountains. Spotlessly clean and next door to a bar.

The location, the breakfast, hospitality were perfect. They really care about the guests. And the decoration of the common places is amazing ?

The small kettle to make tea or coffee would be a nice thing in the room.

Beautiful hotel in a hidden area where you can relax. Excellent value for money, high quality home-made food and pastries, always friendly staff.

The huge room, the comfy bed, the view of the mountain, the hospitality and the delicious breakfast. In a nutshell, it was a perfect stay for our family. I will highly recommend this place to others.

Authentic and intimate hotel in a charming and rural location, close to mountains and sea. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Spacious and comfortable rooms with garden view. Varied and local breakfast buffet with some home baked pastries and gorgeous garden and mountain view.

What a great place to stay. So well decorated and spacious. Our large room was super comfortable with fantastic views. Our host made us feel very comfortable. Breakfast delightful.

Everything. The rustic interiors,the spacious room, breakfast, and the personalised service.

It was quiet and the old style building was lovely. The gentlemen on reception/ bar was fantastic and helpful. The location was excellent for views and beach walks. Breakfast was excellent with several local produced choices. There was off-street parking on and near the property with no height restrictions.

Nothing?

Big and quiet room in a country inn. The bed was very comfortable and we really enjoyed walking up to the sound of cows outside. The inn is a short drive to many beaches and restaurants. Very pleasant stay!

Beautiful property. Exceptional views. Alejandro was an excellent host and full of local knowledge and suggestions. The beds were extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delightful, featuring a number of homemade and local items. There is some, but not unlimited, off-street parking. Playa Espasa, good for swimming, was accessible via a 30-ish minute walk.

Bed Room spacious with a living room ensuite.Beautiful common rooms downstairs with great views over El Babu mountain.Kindness of owner

The property was almost as beautiful as the surroundings. Our check in was smooth and painless. Our host was very friendly, gracious and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious!Everything about our stay was pleasant. We highly recommend this place!

Beautiful property with surrounding gardens and fantastic views of the mountains. The higher elevations lead to cool breezes and summer rain showers. Breakfast served on site is convenient as there are few places nearby to eat.

Although being situated off the main beaches is nice, it does make it hard to find an evening place to eat. Restaurants nearby and in the surrounding hamlets of Caravia and Duesos can close for a holiday with no notice and won’t reopen on a given date. IF any nearby places are open, they will book up quickly by local residents, so reservations made early are a must. If you can’t find anything close by, you must make a trek to one of the beaches 2 miles away for dinner.

amazing location, beautiful rooms and large comfortable beds

Really lovely and spacious rooms for a family. Very nice breakfast. Excellent staff and location. Would highly recommended it.

stylish hotel, friendly staff, lovely mountain views, 5 minutes drive to the beach.

This place is a gem. we hadn’t planned to stay here, but happened upon it and they had space for our family. Lovely breakfast with a view and most attentive staff.

Location was spectacular, fabulous views of the mountains from the breakfast room. Alejandro, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. There was a mixup with our room which he fixed right away and then gave us a complimentary breakfast which was both unexpected and very generous. The downstairs sitting area is very spacious and tastefully decorated and the overall feel is of a boutique hotel. The beds were really comfy. The location is great if you are walking the Camino del Norte.

Overall we enjoyed our stay, the only minor point was that the decor in the bathrooms was a little tired and not in keeping with the rest of the property.
