    Hotel full of charm and character in a fabulous location. Issues at breakfast need to be addressed.

    Issues with cost and range of what was available at breakfast - minimal as 'inclusive' B/B rate. Long wait times for breakfast as generally only one staff doing all the work.

    The hotel itself was quaint and charming, rooms were spacious and clean. The location was superb, rural, with a view of the ocean from our bedroom. It was a pleasant walk to the beach and into the village. The lady that greeted us at reception on arrival was very pleasant, informative and personable. There was one extremely busy lady (staff) in the breakfast room , setting and clearing tables, taking orders, serving; she did this pretty much on her own, and always with greetings and good grace. Free on-site parking a bonus.

    Pets in the room nearby. They should be allocated in a specific area to ensure other guests with no pets are not disturbed.

    We did not have breakfast at the hotel. There are other options nearby.

    The rooms are hey are a bit small but everything is there. Beds are also a bit small for tall people.

    The place is really exceptional. The hotel is really very nice and very well located in Pechon. The rooms are comfortable with a great view to the Ocean. Breakfast is good and with a lot of choice. The staff was very friendly and always available to answer any question or give advice.

    The bathrooms can be renovated.

    This property is great value for money. Nice staff, good location near the beach and in a small village. The rooms are clean. They offer a good breakfast. There are several restaurants near the hotel. I think the rating of this propriety is higher than the current one. For a 2 star hotel, it is an excelente choice.

    Excellent holiday and we'll be back in Cantabria

    • Triple Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    It's a shame to have to highlight what wasn't good as we had such a good holiday but in hindsight and with now knowing more about the area we would have benefited from another hotel. In the hotel we had a family room that was meant to cater for 3 people but we struggled with the room size and bathroom. There was very little room to fit the beds in the room which meant to open the velux doors for light or access to the balcony was really difficult. The bathroom was one of the smallest I'd ever seen and having a shower meant most things got wet. In the end we spent very little time in the hotel as t was not a relaxing space. But I must say Cantabria was fantastic and exceeded our expectations as a holiday destination. From the scenery, culture and people. As I said above it's a shame to highlight what wasn't good as we all enjoyed this holiday and the hotel was such a small part of it that it didn't distract from our enjoyment

    The location of the hotel was great for access to the beach and some great scenery. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast were good. I would like to highlight that the breakfast staff were particularly helpful and welcoming.

    The charge for my small yorkie was €25. Given that they did nothing to help his stay, its profiteering to appear to be pet friendly to earn a premium to the rate of 30%. The room was ok but tiny. This didnt bother me but might others

    Clean and well presented. The breakfast staff were lovely and despite having to exclude my little dog, tried hard to find a solution on the terrace.

    Great location. Management needs sorting.

    Breakfast was chaotic. There seems to be a big problem with management at this hotel. Breakfast was very simple (toast, coffee and orange juice) and could have been overseen by one person but nobody was taking charge or responsibility for delivering it. The photos on this site are out of date as they show a buffet breakfast. This would actually have been much better as people could have helped themselves, but instead we had to find a table (when often none were available as they had not been cleared) and wait for our order to be taken, then wait for our food. People were not served in order, etc. On the third day, we waited half an hour at an uncleared table. The young man serving said he would deal with it but never did completely and never took our order, despite serving other people. We were sure there was no malice intended but he just didn't have any system for serving people. Meanwhile there were varioius other staff milling in and out and not doing anything to help the one person who was serving. The member of staff who dealt with us during check in was around, but she wasn't doing anything either. She seemed rather miserable. Or angry. She wasn't very friendly. They need some proper management at this place. In contrast, the staff, service and food at the place opposite, Parilla El Fogon, were excellent. Don Pablo could learn a lot from them.

    Location was great.

    It is an old building with wooden floors so unfortunately at night it was quite noisy with people moving next to our room on the wooden staircase. You could also hear doors in other rooms etc. this was easily remedied with some earplugs so it wasn’t a problem but good to come prepared.

    Lovely building in an amazing location near to beautiful beaches and good restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff.

    I decided to take my mother and friend for a weekend trip, away from the busy and stressful city life. The trip was truly remarkable and enjoyable. A huge factor of this trip's success was Don Pablo, located in such a beautiful village (Pechón) with extremely friendly locals and can't forget the beautiful scenery and beaches that are a few minutes walking distance. I highly recommend planning and choosing Don Pablo for your next trip to the Northern part of Spain. First, you will be welcomed by an extremely friendly staff, and you will also get to visit and see the most beautiful scenery in North of Spain and you can explore nearby towns and finally relax in their comfy, clean beds.

    Friendly staff on arrival. Room smelt damp and fausty. No extractor fan in the bathroom. Room was on ground floor at the very entrance to the building, but fortunately other guests were quiet. Opening the window for air (it was hot/no air conditioning) on the ground floor meant you could hear people chatting right outside the room. If you stay here, ensure you ask for room on upper floors and check room first. A pleasant stay with clean, comfortable beds.

    Our first room had an exterior door which was our only ventilation when open. We left it slightly open and 3 times people entered our room at night! We changed rooms which was better but was over the sitting area which was very noisy until 1 or 2 in the morning The walls of both rooms were paper thin…a very noisy place to stay

    Walking distance to a great beach and into the small town

    We waited ages for breakfast as there were just 2 people serving and clearing tables. On both mornings around 30 minutes. Other customers had the same wait. I told the hotel they need to employ more staff to serve breakfast as this was taking time out of our holiday. A buffet system would have worked better.

    The location is great and we had a lovely sea view from our room. The style of the hotel is relaxed and pleasant and the staff friendly.
