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.

Really good vibe. Excellent stay

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.

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.

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.

Nautically-themed comfortable hotel

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.

Albergo piacevole a Laredo, pochi passi dal mare

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.
