Hotel Faro de San Vicente

Great location overlooking the river estuary, castle, church and mountains. Excellent check in and departure. An asset to the hotel is Diego (Viego?) on the reception desk. He was an outstanding member of hotel staff during a tour consisting of 11 hotels. He was exceptional for his warm welcome, his helpful and friendly manner and general demeanour. The management of this hotel should make sure he is commended. He is a definite asset. Paid extra for a superior room, well worth it in terms of comfort and size.

I stayed only one night but the experience was great. The hotel is very nice, the staff were helpful. I could leave my luggage in the reception already in the morning, before the check-in time. The room was smaller but comfortable. The bathroom was extremely small. The biggest surprise was that there is a washing machine and the dryer available for the guests, you use coins. The food in the restaurant was also good, I had octopus for dinner.

The staff have to get the first mention. Helpful and friendly guiding us to a basement car park for our motorbikes. Some much need chilled beer was provided before we booked in. The room was very comfortable and well laid out. The breakfast provided everything you could wish to set you up for the day. This is an hotel I would like to come back to.

The room was just fine and comfortable enough. Our room didn't really have a view other that that of the building next door. With it being in June and in the off season, we didn't eat at the restaurant but did have drinks at the bar and breakfast the next morning. Both were great and good value.

Very friendly staff. The hotel is very attractive and the room was lovely. The hotel restaurant was also very good. The location of the hotel is right in the heart of San Vicente de la Barquera. We would love to come back and stay longer.
