    All as expected. A lovely addition would be a coffee machine in the room.

    Location was perfect - literally across the road from El Sardinero beach. Really helpful and friendly staff. Sea view room was lovely. Not a huge room, but the view more than compensated for that! The option of the relaxed café (instead of a full breakfast) reception was excellent.

    Hotel was a bit tired and worn in areas. The photograph on Booking.com was not representative of the actual hotel exterior. Some of the paintwork in the room was a little worn.

    Great location and comfortable stay. Really nice breakfast. Great gym facilities. Lovely staff. Noisy street but fantastic sea views.

    There is not much we would change but there were some minor defects that needed to be repaired and the plates within the breakfast area needed to be checked more thoroughly as I found two plates stuck together with rotting food between them. The staff apologised but it betrayed a lack of thorough checking when washing the plates.

    The location of the hotel was excellent - it was opposite the beach and a short walk from a large park that contained three ships! The food was pleasant with some surprisingly tasty options. The room was clean and spacious the bathroom was particularly impressive. Staff were pleasant and professional.

    Cozy hotel in a beautiful place

    Parking is tricky. There's no actual private parking or a garage. At least, we were told that there's a garage but it's located somewhere near some other building and it didn't make any sense to use, because we wanted to park our car as close to the hotel as possible. What you should expect in fact, is a reserved short-term (15-20 min) parking right near the hotel to drop your bags. And there's no guarantee it'll be free – when we were checking out, there was not even a single available space. And long-term you'll most likely have to park your car on the adjacent street on free city parking spaces. Totally possible to find a space 200-300 meters from the hotel, so it's not that bad. But honestly, it does not match the "private parking" description and can be a bit frustrating after a long day of driving.

    Nice and very well located hotel. We had a sea view, and it was worth every single cent paid for it. Can't express how beautiful the seaside is in that place!

    Because the rooms are small there was no need for so much furniture in there. There wasn’t room to fit an ironing board

    Rooms are small but very clean and comfortable. Close to everything, the fabulous beach and lots of nice restaurants. Martha was really friendly and gave us lots of advise on places to go and the best places to eat
