Very quaint place to stay. We loved the old world ambiance. Breakfast didn’t offer enough protein but was good. The beach is a close walk. Very nice place to stay. It was hot so we had to sleep with the windows open and could hear some people talking in the courtyard until really late.

Albergo piacevole a Laredo, pochi passi dal mare

Hotel un pò retrò a pochi metri dal lungomare di Laredo, staff gentilissimo, arredi delle parti comuni d'impronta marinaresca, un bel salotto con camino. Colazione servita al tavolo, anche in giardino volendo.

Nautically-themed comfortable hotel

The hotel feels dated but it's nautically themed so it's forgiveable. Found myself having to isolate a buzzing switchboard however at night to sleep. Great staff, nice comfortable room and a decent shower. Bit of a walk from the bus station but would be a short taxi ride and plenty of on street parking available. Close to the beach.

Originelles Ambiente ohne Komfort

Zimmer sind zu klein, Bäder sollten erneuert werden, Zimmer war bei Anreise mit 17 ° zu kalt. Frühstück bestand nur aus Getreideprodukten. Kein Ei, Kein Schinken, kein Obst. Sehr schöner Garten vor dem Hotel sehr originelle und liebenswürdige Einrichtung der Gemeinschaftsräume

Very friendly and caring colleagues, a very homey feeling of the place, cute and a bit eccentric, in a positive way. Felt closed though, as it hadn’t been used or aired out for a while. Old not very comfortable beds. Nice personally served breakfast. A good experience even if there are some upgrades needed.
