Bien mais à renouver certains équipements
Pros:

L'emplacement et le silence aux alentours.

Cons:

Pas de place de parking comme annoncé mais si on souhaite le laisser à l'intérieur de la petite cour il fallait laisser la clé de la voiture. Non merci

Lugar pacífico en medio de una ciudad masificada
Pros:

Se encuentra en una zona residencial alejada del ruido y del masificado centro, pero cerca de lugares turísticos que merece la pena ver, como el Peine del Viento o el Monte Igeldo. El edificio es muy bonito y las habitaciones son de estilo rústico, amplias y cómodas. La habitación cuenta con todo lo necesario. La playa está a escasos metros.

Cons:

Quizá deberían cambiarse los secadores de pelo. El hotel es de estilo rústico, no esperes encontrar mobiliario moderno, quizá ahí está su encanto.

Lovely French style building with lovely clean rooms. Near to the beach and at a quiet end of town.
Pros:

Beautiful old building which is situated at one end of La Concha beach. 20 minutes to walk into the old town along the beach.

Cons:

The breakfast area was rather cramped and the coffee machine didn’t give a good cup of coffee.
