Nautical paradise.

Handy for Brittany ferry the next day. Delightful decor filled with large nautical memorabilia. The enclosed garden is perfect to sit out in on summer evening or have your breakfast delivered to you in the morning. Short walk to the beach.

The hotel isn’t worth paying more than €100 per night for.

Quirky and older style hotel, interesting nautical artefacts all around hotel.

Very friendly staff and happy to answer any questions re hotel or surrounding area. The bar and being able to sit out in the garden was very relaxing. Lots of choice on the breakfast although no juice or fruit served on breakfast tray.

Lovely traditional hotel just next to Laredo's magnificent beach.

It's a lovely hotel internally - I really liked the atmosphere and decor. I also loved the garden with its tables and parasols. The staff were very helpful and the recommendation for dinner was excellent.

Fabulous gem

What a gem of a hotel. Right near a beautiful beach and fabulous fish restaurant , And a short walk along the beach to more bars and restaurants. The room was large, extremely comfortable with a lovely view of the garden . The bed was huge and very comfortable. The rooms had obviously been re camped recently as everything was new. The downstairs is more traditional but very comfortable. We had a lovely breakfast out in the garden. The staff were all extremely friendly. Parking right out side on the street . Would definitely stay there again

Beautiful hotel stay

The location is great. Not far from town or the beach. Less than 10 minutes walk. Plenty of street parking. The hotel has a reserved area. The rooms are a good size. The bath and shower worked well and the bed was very comfortable. Really quiet area for a good night's sleep. The garden is beautiful to sit in to read. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is croissants, pastries, yoghurt, and an assortment of jams and pate, etc. We can definitely recommend staying here.
