Very cute little bed-and-breakfast style hotel in the center of town. Perfect location. Clean and room was surprisingly spacious for single . Breakfast next morning was delightful. Wonderful staff. The nice lady that checked me out, Cynthia, was very cool and we had a wonderful chat that had me starting my day with a big smile and positive outlook!

Stayed 1 night

We arrived 19:30 and the door was closed. A note said to use the pin code we should have received by email, which we never did. I kept knocking and after some time a housekeeper living next door came out gave me a key and allowed us to enter. Parking was a nightmare. You have to park in a parking house 10-15 mins away. They have 8 rooms and ours was like stepping into the historic past, but not in a good way. The carpet was very stained so I kept my socks on. Everything is ooooold and run down. The hotel needs some love and renovation but dogs are allowed and it was fairly priced. Breakfast could fit 6 people at the time and was simple but fresh. All were seated around same table and people were chatting, the room is tiny. I would not stay here again but it was quite an experience.

Stayed 5 nights

I travel extensively and Very seldom have I ever left a bad review. This Hotel is really a boarding house with the name Hotel attached. I will be attaching photos. It's dirty and much mold in the shower. The carpet is almost non existent and worn down similar to felt and was like walking on concrete. We kept our socks on all the time because of the scrunchy carpet. The room was cold and finally I was able to explain we needed a heater. The toilet often took a couple flushes to work. Not sure what that was about. There is No common area to use to chat with friends or other guests. Just a tiny landing as you came into the door that was often filled with dirty laundry bags. We had a friend there also but we had to meet in our room. The dining area was so small and the house keeper kept coming through with laundry holding bags over our heads. We attempted to find other lodging immediately after seeing the hotel and our room but we were in Caeñ for 5 nights with a friend but no place was available for that long of a stay. Warning: I would not bring my children here. I don't know who the owner is but an inspection is needed.
