  For fully fit travelers only!

  04 May 2026

  The rooms are sparsely furnished with dated hand painted bed frames. The balcony view is outstanding. Reception is not 24 hours. The lift did not work and as a disabled traveler with mobility issues I found the hotel difficult to navigate - so much so that we had to cut short our planned stay of a week and depart the day after arrival. The staff were very good about it and did not charge a cancellation fee. There were roadworks outside the hotel that made car access perilous. The area has steep climbs, no bus and no taxi service. Unless you are fully mobile and fit, Castro is not a good place to visit

  I booked this hotel loving the majority of photos they have online of their rooms. BEWARE…only 5 rooms are renovated and modern suites- the rest of the hotel is very out dated, chipped paint, old furniture, and terrible bathrooms in need of renovation. There is often no staff around for any assistance. Location is great- right on the water but that is it. Town is sweet and not touristy. Small and quaint and a good point to visit neighbouring beaches and towns. A major disappointment if you aren’t in one of the 5 suites. The suites are the only way to go with private balconies overlooking the sea.

  A perfect mass tourist hotel

  16 Jun 2025

  The setting of the hotel is beautiful, with a narrow, east facing strip of rock serving as its private lido, from which you can access the water directly without slicing up the soles of your feet, and where you can sit or lie around all summer like a sardine in a tin. For the price of €220 B&B, I was upgraded to a "suite" on the ground floor which was very spacious and had a rectangular jaccuzzi bath tub in the room itself - meant no doubt for a romantic week-end. The floor of the room is tiled in the most slippery glazed tile imaginable, so one has to be careful not to break one's neck.This plave is the perfect mass tourist hotel for a conventional European beach holiday, either for couples or whole families. It is completely lacking in charm of any sort. The parking "arrangements" are completely arbitrary. There are about 10 bays only and, if you miss one of them, there is simply nowhere else to park on the access road, which may or may not be a one way - I could find no signs or anyone to tell me yes or no. I was lucky to get my reserved hotel bay for €20 per day, but the fancuilla at the reception made it clear that it was really first come, first served. Getting in and out of the lot, minute and on a steep slope, is not for the fainthearted. Breakfast was reasonably good and no one seemed to be there for dinner (nor was I). Castro itself is a pretty town, and the historical centre and ramparts (which require quite a climb from the hotel - unless you want to risk losing your parking bay - and possibly your mind as well) is definitely worth an hour or two's wondering about.

  Missed opportunity

  30 May 2025

  That cute room on the 1st floor we saw online was definitely not our room. Ours had broken A/Cs, baths that weren't clean, uncomfortable beds and they didn't make the second bed up. When we asked to change rooms they said they were fully booked. They left the reservation book open when they left the property at 9pm and we saw several rooms open. We guessed that they hadn't been cleaned and that they didnt have daily service. When we called the emergency number upon noticing that they never made up our second bed, it was our waitress from dinner that brought the sheet. I get that it wasn't terribly expensive but this hotel has the most prime spot on the water in Castro. They opened, and charged for their beach club, but then didnt send any waitstaff to help those who paid to have a lounge. It was shoulder season granted, but it you are going to charge everyone as if it was mid summer than maybe see if they could use some water, I don't know. They need to do better. Such an opportunity here.

  Blissful

  16 Jan 2025

  We loved this hotel. The staff are all helpful. Rooms are clean and cleaned every day. Food was simple but good. Beautiful views over the marina. Swim in the sea straight from the terrace. Great to laze in the ocean. Parking is tricky but not impossible.
