Stayed here fr the night on our way to Santander and thought it was brilliant. There is a massive bar/cafe that serves a drinks and slices of the hams that are hung throughout. This is a real Spanish style location where you can buy crates of wine, cheese, hams that are stacked up around the entrance to the bar/hotel. I bought a 6 bottle box of a really good rioja for 20 euros. We actually stayed in an annex to the main hotel but this was modern, clean and spacious. The staff were all very polite and friendly. There is a restaurant on site that was to a good standard but this didn't open until 8 o'clock in the evening. On a personal level, I wouldn't want to stay longer than a day or so as there wasn't much to see in the area. However, I would definitely recommend this hotel and will probably return again for a stopover next year.

Not exactly luxurious but perfect for travelers to the south of Spain or direction France. 24/24 opened. Reception next to a large, crowded, cafetaria. Breakfast in the cafetaria from 7 AM, included in price. Noisy but vivid place.

“Not my style”

Initially thought "What have I let myself in for?" when I got to the room, an old style traditional Spanish style as opposed to a modern room and to make things worse it was only a single bed. I knew it was a single room when I booked it but still it very often happens there it's a double bed in ... more

Initially thought "What have I let myself in for?" when I got to the room, an old style traditional Spanish style as opposed to a modern room and to make things worse it was only a single bed. I knew it was a single room when I booked it but still it very often happens there it's a double bed in a room, anyway who sleeps in a single bed nowdays? So anyway in the end the room was totally fine, I moved the bed away from the wall and it made the room more cosy. And actually the bed was very comfortable, so there you go. There's a restaurant in the hotel which is separate from the cafe/bar although what I chose was very small. The service was great, as was the price and the food was lovely, so all good. In the morning if you've paid for included breakfast then you can choose what you want in the cafe/bar. This was one of the best meals in my time in Spain! I had proper tortilla, bread, cake, fresh OJ I was totally stuffed by the end of it. Great
