Hotel Los Caspios

Great stop for the night while walking the Camino del Norte. Stayed in a large room with a veranda and a small living room with a TV. Beautiful views from the 2 little balconies. Equipment and design are pretty basic but comfortable and very clean. Great bathroom. There are several great public spaces to unwind (outside terraces, large rooms with cosy sofas etc.) and we enjoyed these as the hotel was almost empty (stay off season). Cannot comment on how relaxing these can be when hotel is busier though. Shame they start serving breakfast at 9.00 am, which is very late from a pilgrim's point of view. Fortunately, there are plenty of bars with delicious pinxos in the closeby village of Colunga (3 kms.) so this eventually was no problem for us. There is no staff on site after 9.30 pm which I found somehow disturbing. And we left at 8.00 am the following mornning, there was still no staff there ! We tried to reach / call someone but no one answered the phone so this can be an issue in case of a major problem. When available, staff was nice and willing to help so the experience was a positive one overall. Would therefore happily recommend this property to pilgrims on the Camino.

We were so impressed with the staff and all the well appointed antiques! This is a beautiful hotel! We loved sitting on the community balcony and talking to other guests.

Fabulous! Beautiful unique property! So incredibly charming historical property with modern rooms and amenities! Would love to return. Staff were so accommodating and kind! Went out of there way to feed us after a long hike. Great stop for Camino pilgrims. Would love to return!!

The pictures on the website are only obviously from a decade ago when you arrive on site. The drive through the entrance gate only installs you with dread as the spacious gardens are overgrown and laid to pasture. We checked in at reception and were surprised ( not now) to be asked to pay for our stay in advance, not standard procedure in Spain. We were booked into a Superior Room but the first room allocated was terrible. We complained with the owner at reception and were given the key to a better room but never of a superior quality. We stayed for 2 nights and had to get out every day and explore in the pouring rain as relaxing in the hotel was not an option. I am very suspicious of the current reviews being given to this property as having travelled throughout Spain for several years this is by far the worst property we have ever stayed in? Who writes the reviews?

I am shocked at the negative reviews left on this site. Hotel Los Caspios is a nice, cosy hotel. Our room was extremely comfortable, even though just a standard one, and the cleanliness was superb. The view from our room was quite incredible; sea to the left, luscious green fields immediately opposite and mountains to the right. Paradise! The beds were very comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot. The breakfast is to be paid for upon departure - expensive (€9 per person) but good with lots of choice, and needs to be reserved a day in advance. The 'public' areas are stunning. They would be extremely cosy in the winter with a roaring fire. And the pool, despite our late summer visit, was clean and inviting. All-in-all in my humble opinion, this is a bit of a gem of a hotel.
