Very quaint hotel with friendly staff. Nice breakfast included. Cute small resident dogs. Rooms were warm but opening windows at night cooled things off nicely.
The hotel is one of the very best I have stayed in. It is run with a great pride in service and attention to details. It is extremely friendly. The accommodation is dog friendly.
The decor is beautiful set in its own private garden and just a couple of hundred metres from the beach front. Loved it.

Slightly tired but perfectly comfortable & adequate hotel. Excellent continental breakfast included in the room rate.
Really nice hotel, with a vintage charm. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. As other reviewers have said, I could hear conversations in the adjoining room. Location was great for the beach and restaurants.
Maria was AWESOME from the minute we walked in, drenching in rain after walking the Camino de Santiago! She showed us to our room, dried our wet clothes, ordered dinner for us...anything you needed, she was there to help us! She is a true GEM! We didn't have enough time to enjoy the beautiful garden, but we hope the next travelers do as it is so beautiful.
Very quaint place to stay. We loved the old world ambiance. Breakfast didn’t offer enough protein but was good. The beach is a close walk. Very nice place to stay. It was hot so we had to sleep with the windows open and could hear some people talking in the courtyard until really late.
The hotel feels dated but it's nautically themed so it's forgiveable. Found myself having to isolate a buzzing switchboard however at night to sleep. Great staff, nice comfortable room and a decent shower. Bit of a walk from the bus station but would be a short taxi ride and plenty of on street parking available. Close to the beach.

Very friendly and caring colleagues, a very homey feeling of the place, cute and a bit eccentric, in a positive way.
Felt closed though, as it hadn’t been used or aired out for a while. Old not very comfortable beds.
Nice personally served breakfast.
A good experience even if there are some upgrades needed.
Stayed here for the UEFA 2025 final. The hotel is proper chilled out and the staff are excellent, so friendly. 24 hour bar if you wanted with a night porter on. Ideally positioned to the centre with no noise.
Really pleasant stay, breakfast is simple but good and available up to (and after) 10:00.

El hotel está bien situado pero creo que las instalaciones necesitan un poco lavado de caro.
Están algo anticuadas

Lugar acogedor, acorde precio-calidad. El desayuno en el jardín es muy agradable.

Hotellet var rustikt och mysigt. Tyvärr en ihållande lukt av fukt och mögel som förtog vistelsen
Hotel un pò retrò a pochi metri dal lungomare di Laredo, staff gentilissimo, arredi delle parti comuni d'impronta marinaresca, un bel salotto con camino. Colazione servita al tavolo, anche in giardino volendo.
Muy acogedor, salones, jardín y zonas comunes preciosas, personal atento, muy limpio y desayuno rico, muy recomendable

Originelles Ambiente ohne Komfort
Zimmer sind zu klein, Bäder sollten erneuert werden, Zimmer war bei Anreise mit 17 ° zu kalt. Frühstück bestand nur aus Getreideprodukten. Kein Ei, Kein Schinken, kein Obst. Sehr schöner Garten vor dem Hotel sehr originelle und liebenswürdige Einrichtung der Gemeinschaftsräume
