Cool & comfortable reprieve in Spain

We really enjoyed our short stay at Hostal Elkano even though we had to work at communication with our limited Spanish and their limited English. One of the most impressive and welcomed aspect was the ductless air conditioning unit because the weather was very hot during our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Totally fine budget place

This is not a fancy hotel, but it is totally fine to stay there. The bathroom is clean, the internet works well and location is ok. It is a good place to stay with low budget.

This property was basic, it's no fancy hotel but I would rather spend my money on food, drinks and things to do than accommodation. We booked a room with private bathroom for 2, the room actually slept 3. The bathroom was tiny but clean, the shower was very good

Super convenient and comfortable stay, within walking distance to the main tourist attractions but also out of the way enough that we were able to escape some of the business and explore some more local spots. Very easy check and in and staff were friendly.
