Rustig gelegen, mooi gebouw, leuk dat er een zwembad was. Heel vriendelijk onthaal. Ontbijt is optioneel maar zou ik niet aanraden. Leuke restaurantjes in het dorpje op een paar honderd meter. Ideaal voor een paar nachten verblijf op doortocht.

Joli hôtel style un peu ancien

Joli hôtel style un peu ancien, personnel agréable. Manque la climatisation surtout comme nous qui étions dans les combles (Heureusement que nous avons eu de l'orage qui a refroidi le temps. La piscine un peu sale. Un peu retiré de tout.

Entorno bonito

El entorno es tranquilo y el palacio es precioso. Aunque cabe destacar, que las habitaciones necesitan un arreglo. El personal muy atento y simoaticos. La chica que nos atendió el día del registro, nos acompañó a nuestra habitación. Me pareció todo un detalle.

TREVOR

Liked: Staff & service
A good centre for touring Cantabria. Breakfasts adequate with a number of good restaurants within easy reach. The staff, in particular Azulcena (I hope I've spelt her name correctly), were very friendly and helpful. The hotel would benefit from regular TLC and guests would enjoy tea/coffee making facilities in their room or lounge rather than paying the staff to provide these. In view of the hotel's rural position it ought to be very quiet but the village's dogs and other animals spoilt the tranquillity. Unfortunately, the hotel can not do anything about this.

A nice hotel .. if you get what you think you book

Hotel looks really well and probably deserves it stars.. We were put in the annex which we were very disapointed with. Quite claustrahobic with small low window. The booking we had made and was confirmed was supposed to have a balcony. The room looked nothing like the photis. If we had realised what we were getting for 110 euro we certainly would have gone elsewhere. I was particularly disappointed that we were not allowed to park our motorcycle in the large secure courtyard even when we asked.. in fact the man checking us out couldn't understand why we were sent to the public area along the road. A lesson in don't believe in everything that is written.
