    The motorway noise might put some off

    Good location as we needed parking for our van and did not want to be in the town centre. Room clean and tidy, continental breakfast included. The only downsides is the noise from the motorway (we booked knowing this) but it was OK. It is a 20 minute walk down hill to the old town with numerous bars and restaurants with a cheap taxi ride back up the hill. Staff very helpful

    We were very disappointed that the restaurant closed at about 3pm and did not open for an evening meal - we therefore had to drive down into Leredo and find somewhere to eat - parking in Leredo was difficult to find - I don't know if that is always the case or it was just busy on the day we were there - at least it was nearly all free parking in town.

    The view from the balcony was spectacular - Parking was good - the stairs up were manageable for my arthritic knees but glad it was only one floor [ All rooms are on the first floor - there is no lift ] The continental breakfast was ok but you don't get to choose what you want - you get a plate with fresh toast butter some marmalade / jam and a couple of cake type things juice and tea / Coffee - so substantial enough - it's very good value for money for a one night stop over.

    Bathroom was like a fridge, but good to wake you up on the morning. It is about a 20 min walk uphill along the main road from Laredo, but we knew that before booking. The walk down is stunning and only 5 euro for a taxi back.

    Owner was quite friendly and helpful. Hassle free checkin. Room was OK although smelled a bit like cigarettes. Stunning view with private balcony. Incredible multihead shower which was a super bonus.

    It would have been nice if the restaurant and bar had been open in the evening but it was late season, so I guess it wasn't viable for them to open.

    Comfortable beds. Reasonably quiet despite being quite close to main road. Not too far (about 15 minute) to walk into Laredo centre. Nice lady on reception. Despite the fact that the lady didn't speak English, I managed to borrow a hair dryer from her. We found a great seafood restaurant in the centre - the Restaurante Marisqueria La Vina. The owner/chef was so nice and helpful. He used a translator app to run through the menu.

    Most of it. Bed sheets dirty. Had to brush away pubic hairs from it. Restaurant table dirty with a cover put on top instead of cleaning the bread crumbs. Breakfast not eatable.

    Location was ok. Easy to find but the town nearby very touristy and boring.

    it was way out of town, basically a stop on the freeway, not meant for pilgrims. but the biggest problem was there was no where to eat. there was even anything close.

    from the outside it looked ok. but I never got in.

    further than expected from activities in Laredo. Hours of the restaurant were not always convenient for us.

    wonderful facilities, newly renovated bathroom. amazing view. right off of the Camino, so easy for pilgrims. The meal at the restaurant was great! We asked for an early check in because we are pilgrims on the Camino and my father needed to rest and we were able to check into a room at 11:00! so kind and accommodating! Normal check in time was 16:00.

    Booked this place because after an 8 hour drive from torrevieja it had a restaurant and bar so we could have a drink and something to eat , when we got there and paid for the room we was told both was shut this was 19 00 hours. The lady said we could take a drink up to our room but nothing to eat , we didn't want to sit in our room at 19 00 hours and we had to wait for our friends, we ended up waiting outside the bar in the cold . They then opened the door but we wasn't allowed in and let us have a few cans from the kitchen still outside in the cold and never offered us at least a bowl of nibbles crisps nuts etc which would of been appreciated we felt really uncomfortable. After a few cans we went to our rooms which was cold and my pillow was hard , in the morning no hot water for a wash . With just only us and two friends in the hostel i got the impression the place had closed down for the season which we should of been informed about when booking , we booked here because of location and more importantly bar and restaurant which we really needed after an 8 hour drive from torrevieja
