Anticuado y poco acogedor.

La habitación olía a humedad y cerrado. Anticuado y viejo.Por ese precio esperábamos algo mejor.Tuvimos que separarnos de nuestro amigo a pesar de que le pedimos habitaciones juntas, porque el niño no puede dormir contigo, pagas más y te envían a otra zona. Mala atención y poco acogedor, no volveremos.

Recommandé

Calme et reposant cet hôtel est remarquablement situé. Il permets bains dans l'océan et visites de villages médiévaux. Santander est également proche. Il peut être le point de départ de randonnées le long de la côte ou à l'intérieur du pays. L'accueil y est excellent.

This hotel was a little gem, good value, very comfortable and in a great location. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We did expect a restaurant for the evening but it was closed, however we were directed to a nearby restaurant which was very good. The information should say this is a seasonal restaurant, we had been travelling all day and would have preferred to stay on site. Would stay there again.

Hotel con unas vistas espectaculares

Playa de luaña a apenas 50 metros. Situada entre Santillana y Comillas. En el pueblo en si de Cobreces no hay demasiado que ver ni hacer. Pero muy buen situado
