엘 앙클라 라레도(El Ancla)

Very nice and comfortable stay.

Está muy bien situado pero sus instalaciones son muy antiguas las sillas son incómodas. Necesita una buena renovación.

Recently stayed in this beautiful town on our Camino adventure. The hotel is somewhat olde world and while some reviews I had read were quite critical of the state of the rooms and indeed the service, that was not our experience. Hotel is located one block back from a magnificent beach which has a 4K promenade. Check in was seamless and receptionist was very friendly. Our room was a decent one, clean/ quiet albeit we could have done with aircon as weather was quite warm. While breakfast was served on site (typical continental breakfast), there was no facility to eat at night ( staff however provided decent recommendations). The town has multiple bars/ restaurants within 5/7 minutes walk of the hotel.

Really nice hotel, with a vintage charm. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. As other reviewers have said, I could hear conversations in the adjoining room. Location was great for the beach and restaurants.

What an abomination! Simply put, this place makes fawlty towers look like the peninsula in HK. First no hot water, then no water at all. Bed mattress filthy as if it was collected from the rubbish tip, Springs coming through mattress. Room Filthy, paper thin walls, staff rude and disinterested. Everything about this property was dated, broken, old etc. This is without a doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Do not stay here. One more piece of advice, do not stay in this town, it’s a s**t hole

We stayed here on our stop-off in Laredo on the Camino. This is a shabby establishment, with not a lot to recommend it. The staff did their best but the rooms were badly in need of an overhaul - very old stained carpet in our room, and dusty curtains, and cobwebs around the windows. It looked like no money had been spent on the place in years. They sent us to a pretty poor restaurant called Manolo down the road for dinner. We didn't stay for dessert... To be fair we had a nice drink back in the hotel bar after dinner.

The Ancla is a throwback in time. Some may call it dated, as it seems like the 1970's, but the place is in good condition and perfectly clean. The hotel is practically a maritime museum. Ships wheels, compass, and other ship parts scattered about for display, wonderful oil paintings of ship scenes, it is fantastic. It will not me my last stay here, for sure. The low- No air-conditioning. This would not be a great choice in hot weather. The high- The atmosphere is unique and interesting and the people there are fantastic, I felt like one of the family. Maria seems to be everywhere at once and so willing to make your stay as wonderful as possible. Always with a beautiful smile!

This hotel is located about 1 block from the beach. I received a warm welcome and easy check in. There is a beautiful courtyard which seemed to attract many songbirds. I had a very pleasant stay and a nice breakfast in the morning.

Good rooms and helpful staff. Breakfast was mediocre — no cheese, no eggs. The dining area where they put us was dark — a bar. The reception area too was very dark. They did offer coffee early as I requested.
