One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Bed don't seem to have been replaced in 20 years, could feel ever spring poking into you all night. No AC so you had to keep the window open but the street was very loud. Possible cleanliness but I didn't want to look too close.

Very clean, good room, beeds too narrow. The worst is that the bathroom had a problem with its venting. We had to keep the bathroom door closed to keep the fumes in.

Overpriced and just plain rude.
I haven’t left many a bad review and feel awful doing so so I’ll keep it concise. Definitely overpriced but I needed to stay somewhere with a reception for luggage transfer on the Camino...the place itself is doable, not great but eh...life goes on. Minimal and outdated but if you need to crash you get over things quickly.
The owner was the biggest problem here. She’s older and I hate to contribute to potentially hurting her business but never have I ever been treated so poorly...I speak mediocre Spanish at best but I’ve gotten by just fine in any country I’ve visited. I try my best and use a translating app if all else fails. All I’ll say, I got a bang bang bang on my door just before 10 am the day I was meant to check out...followed by her just screaming to hurry up in Spanish she wouldn’t let up to the point that I left the door open, took a couple moments to collect my belongings...upon getting downstairs I showed her that the check out time was 1130...I believe she then said I could stay but I was too upset and already on my way.
Use your best judgment. Sometimes you just need a place to crash. I’m sure it would’ve been better if I were fluent in Spanish.
I booked and paid online. When I arrived, the owner told me they had no reservation for me and refused to accept my email confirmation leaving me with no where to stay.
This place was clean and it had a small bath, but otherwise I was disappointed. The room door jammed and was very difficult to open, close and lock. Check in was very lengthy and the wifi was not working (and was one the main reason I booked it). Location is on the Camino and one block from the beach.

Friendly and value for money
If you want to sit by the pool and entertain the kids for two weeks then give it a miss. However, if you want a clean room and bathroom, friendly staff look past the exterior and give it a go. I booked for two nights while passing through and ended up staying for three. Value for money. Will definitely stay again!

Het was fijn dat ik tussen 13.30 en 14.30 in mocht checken ipv vanaf 16.30 hetgeen sowieso absurd laat is maar voor oa pelgrims die te voet en vrijwel altijd vóór 15.00 arriveren, moe en bezweet zijn, is het echt veel te laat. Belangrijk dus om van te voren aan te geven wat de geschatte aankomsttijd is.
De receptie is in wat eens het cafégedeelte was, duister en geen welkom uitstralend. De eigenaar is overigens vriendelijk. Evenals de schoonmaakster die hem voor mij op trommelde.
Mijn 1-persoonskamer was erg eenvoudig maar in principe oké. Niet in orde was het matras van mijn bed. Dit moet nodig vervangen worden. De veren
staken er nog niet doorheen maar waren overal voelbaar en zorgden voor een zeer oncomfortabele nacht.
Muy poco flexibles para la entrada en la habitación. No salió agua caliente. El colchon muy malo, se clavan los muelles. Huele mal. Necesita una reforma urgente. Yo creo q no se puede ofertar un alojamiento en esas condiciones y menos por una plataforma, deberian exigir unos requisitos minimos.

Lugar tranquilo pero algo viejo le faltaria el dar desayunos y comidas
È indubbiamente una struttura molto datata e non curatissima e i gestori sono bizzarri. Abbiamo avuto qualche problema al check in in quanto ci hanno assegnato una camera già occupata, ma è bastato farsi intendere con un po’ di insistenza, complice anche la differenza di lingua, e ci è stata data una nostra stanza.
La stanza era comoda, pulita e attrezzata con tutto il necessario. Stiamo facendo il Camino di Santiago e soggiorniamo ogni giorno in una struttura diversa e in questo hotel abbiamo dormito bene quanto in altre strutture che offrono maggiori servizi e maggior bellezza.
Aspecto lug rube, sin aire acondicionado, agua caliente por horas, no tienen aparcamiento propio, tal como dice el folleto. No tienen ni recepcion, si tienes problema de movilidad, tienes que subir dos pisos de escaleras. En resumen , local de los años60. No volveremos.
Dreckig und sehr renovationsbedürftig! Matratze war komplett kaputt, man hatte das Gefühl auf den Federn zu liegen.

Poca consideración
Cuando llegamos nos atendió un chico muy simpático. Como habíamos hecho la reserva una hora antes aún no tenían la habitación pero nos la daban en veinte minutos. Una hora después fuimos a por la llave y nos atendió una señora muy desagradable. Nos echó la bronca por reservar con tanta inmediatez. Según ella habría que dar un plazo de 24 horas. Nos dio otra habitación diferente de la habíamos escogido y estaba sin terminar de preparar. El chico nos llamó por la noche, ya que no tenía constancia de que ya nos hubieran dado la llave y ahí se disculpo porque esa no era la habitación que nos tocaba. El hotel tiene muchas posibilidades, aparcamiento privado pero está abandonado y desde luego esa señora ya no está para atender al público. El precio está muy bien para lo que hay.
