Traditional Spanish hotel. Though the room had original characteristics it included on suite,TV, fridge, kettle ect. Rooms were cleaned every day, bed was comfy, WiFi worked well and reached the beach. Typically Spanish breakfast with a full breakfast available and served till 1pm. Staff were friendly and helpful. The main plus for me was the conservatory and garden area where meals were served next to the beach and facing south. The restaurant always seemed to be busy. The hotel also had sun loungers on the beach free of charge. Definitely value for money

Lovely hotel, building built in 1906 with lots of history, so it’s not modern. Right by the sea, lovely views from terrace & restaurant. My only complaint is that they did not explain they lock the building down at night and you have to use buzzed to get in. It took a few minutes to find the buzzer, all I instructions in Spanish!

Nous avons apprécié les attentions ( pantoufles, brosses à dents , kits ) Bien que le descriptif hôtel. Com de l’hôtel indiquait parking disponible , il n’y a pas de parking . Avec beaucoup de chance ( très peu de places disponibles) nous avons pu nous garer dans la rue . La Literie mériterait d’être rénovée.

Beautiful old hotel in a fantastic location right on the sea front. A hotel full of character and Spanish charm. Very friendly staff who were very helpful. Dinner on the front terrace made for an excellent evening. There was even flamenco dancers on the night we stayed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Parking is on the street so could be a problem at busy times. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

La limpieza pésima: cucharas usadas sin limpiar y detrás de la puerta una botella vacía de vino. Te vas allí para descansar y te encuentras que bajo tienen el bar del restaurante abierto hasta las 2:30h de la madrugada, con música y la gente sin parar de gritar. No se podían cerrar las ventanas porque no aislantes y tampoco hay aire acondicionado. Así que no lo recomiendo si buscas unos días de descanso ya que no ofrece calidad- precio.

Very traditional and rooms very dated , can’t swing a cat in them. I don’t mind traditional, old fashioned but it needs to be clean which it wasn’t . Only a stand fan in room it got very hot. It needs a refresh . Cockroach (dead) outside our door on both mornings. The restaurant and courtyard are great and staff friendly and polite.

Rooms

Traditional rooms are small and dated, many lack air conditioning and get hot; bathrooms can be cramped. Noise from the bar or courtyard and firm, worn bedding are recurring concerns, though some report adequate in-room amenities and Wi‑Fi.

Petit hôtel extra, mignon service petit déjeuner et dejeuner extra digne d'un grand hôtel. Serveur au petit soin. Nous avons très bien manger avec un Emplacement de rêve. Dommage que l'accueil a l'arrivée de l'hôtel soit terne et peu chaleureuse du tout, pas de sourire limite de dire bonjour, dommage. Les chambres sont d'un charme désuet, on dirait que l'on vient dormir chez sa grand-mère (mais c'est un compliment), par contre le lit est trop petit pour dormir à deux aussi bien en largeur quant longueur avec les pieds qui dépassent. Pour info réveil très bruyant a 07H00 du matin avec tous les oiseaux dans la cour intérieur. Hormis le lit dommage de n'avoir pas trouvé cet hôtel plus tôt pour passer plusieurs jours et rayonner autour.....
