Pros:

Estaba limpio, tenía buena iluminación y la habitación era grande.

Cons:

Pedimos cama doble y nos dieron dos camas de 90 juntas, el parking es exageradamente costoso, alrededor de 25€, cuando en la calle es gratis, puedes aparcar gratis casi en todas las calles.

Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again.
Pros:

The hotel is excellent, the rooms are spacious, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The location is also great, with the El Sardinero beach just a short walk away.

Cons:

The main downside is the expensive parking. However, you don't necessarily have to use it, as it's relatively easy to find street parking (at least that was the case at the end of June 2026). Another minor drawback is that the breakfast selection is somewhat limited, especially when it comes to vegetables. That said, the food itself is good, so it wasn't a major issue for me.

It was a large comfortable room. Very clean, good front desk staff. No AC, close-ish to the beach.
Pros:

A large queen sized bed, not two twin beds next to each other. very large room, deck, fairly close to the beach. The room was very clean, dark thick curtains and house keeping came daily.

Cons:

There was some drilling construction going on above the bedroom for a couple days. It woke us up. The shower. The shower tray was basically flat and the water poured over the side. There was not AC in the room just in the common areas, there was a light cooling but no proper AC. Not a big deal but the bar area wasn't staffed very often so you couldn't just get a coffee or a drink.
