    There were 3 steps to get down to the bathroom, so you need a light to see where you are going in the middle of the night. We used a night light near the hallway and solved the problem. Wardrobe could do with some draws but it wasn't a problem

    Great value for money. Staff very helpful. Location and hostal very quiet. 3 minute walk to main street. 8 minute walk to beach. Great bar for breakfast at La Luna 4 minute walk. 2 supermarkets and bus stop nearby. Great views from balcony and acess to swimming pool. Will definitely come again

    Not under the control of the Hotel but the pipping of horns as people pass a bar near by was a bit of a pain but would not put me off going back.

    Checking in was good and the person on reception was helpful. Room was a good size and very clean.

    Nothing. It was perfect.

    The views. Oh the views 😍😍 The room was more like a mini apartment with a beautiful balcony with the most incredible views. Walking distance from everything and plenty of parking. The receptionist (I didn't get her name) is a very sweet woman who had a lovely smile. Thank you, we will be returning 😁

    I arrived at the hotel having walked from Rodaquilar through the national park. I was looking forward to a rest and a shower when I arrived at 4pm so was very disappointed to find the hotel all locked up. I then had to phone around to find how to get into my room. They had sent me an email that morning with a code on how to access my room, but having been walking all day without internet access I had not received it. I would have thought a big hotel like El Dorado would have a decent reception.

    The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. It had a lovely balcony that looked over the town to the sea. The breakfast buffet was good and the breakfast staff helpful. The location of the hotel is at the back of the town in a quiet area.

    The property is located on a hillside with lots of steps and no lift. As a consequence there are steps inside the bedroom which needed care when going to the bathroom. The bedroom interior was looking a bit dated.

    We liked the views from our terrace, the convenient location and free parking outside the hotel. The Hotel was very clean & the small pool was good. The breakfast was a welcome treat and very well organised. Also the staff where very helpful and friendly.

    The bed could have been a bit longer for one of us. Either the feet or the head didn't fit on it. He then decided to let his feet stick out. ;-)

    Spacious room with a magnificent view from the terrace, very clean, strong WiFi in the room, delicious breakfast, good location, enough parking space in front and behind the hotel (we travelled in May), nothing to complain, thank you.
