We loved San Vicente, and the hotel was one of the main reasons. A clean, comfortable establishment that offers everything you would want for the price. The staff were fantastic. We arrived on a sad day when we needed to connect to the online feed of a close friend’s funeral. Our room was not ready, but they allowed us to use the empty dining room and they ensured we were not disturbed. They alap made some excellent dining recommendations for us. Parking is easy. Ignore the car park and go further down the road where there is free parking, which we were told is more secure. Thank you Faro de San Vicente for being a high spot of our holiday.

Great location. Parking near by. Clean. Nice breakfast. Good View. A little loud due to a big group being there at the same time.

After a very long day hiking the Camino I discovered I had made a mistake with our booking. Raquel at reception was incredibly helpful and did an amazing job of sorting it all out while we had a beer on the terrace!

Really nice hotel, well situated. Lovely terrace overlooking the river.
Only issue was we couldn't get a double bed so had to have 2 singles but we had an amazing view so that compensated.

Hotel on the top

The location is perfect with a beautiful view,, near by a public parking, walkable to the city center, the front desk are amazing and so sweet, the room and the bathroom is huge, but it’s 3 stars hotel with no coffee machine in the room or in the lobby, I notice a bad smell in the bathroom but it’s was one night

Property located in a beautiful place looking over the water. No air conditioning in room. We have to keep the windows open and was too noisy and difficult to sleepdue to the light from outside. First room was without windows or air conditioning. We paid extra for an update. Staff notified us that property will be close in few weeks.I asumed not too many guests were there that night and we paid more for another room.

Okay hotel in San Vincente, room was nice but bed was very uncomfortable. Didn't have AC and I couldn't keep the windows open since it's right by the road. Location was right next to the castle and downtown so was very convenient.

We have stayed at this property a number of times, we like the hotel, the only problem is the lack of parking at the hotel. We ended up parking at a public car park about 500 yards from the hotel.

A centrally located hotel

We stayed for 2 nights in early October. San Vicente de Barquera is a small seaport town with lots of bars and restaurants, and old castle and a couple of churches. The hotel was 5 minutes walk from the main area and was quiet. The rooms were smallish and looked a little tired but were clean and tidy. The hotel did not seem as friendly as some of the other hotels we stayed in during out 2 week touring holiday, but the staff on the whole, were helpful when necessary.

Charming town and nice hotel

The area is beautiful: the coast is all hidden coves and beaches, with amazingly blue water. San Vicente is at the edge of a big natural park, so there's lots of hiking nearby. The hotel was very nice, bright and modern, and our room had a lovely view over the bridge and bay. It's just across a short bridge from the restaurants and the castle--a quick walk. We had a great time, and enjoyed excellent seafood.

Over night stay

We have stayed at this hotel many times and love it. The location is great for access to the town and its many restaurants, the views from the balcony are fab and we have found the service to be excellent . Convenient for access to Santander and the Picos area. We will continue to stay here when we are in the area.

A shame

Delightful young staff. Limited evening menu. Close to the life of the town, and great , atmospheric seafood restaurants. But also on top of the fiesta. The band played until 4am. Small room. No aircon. No safe. No fridge. No comfortable chair to relax. No onsite parking. Great place to visit, but we will not stay in this hotel again.

Great location, fantastic views, great staff.

Totally enjoyable experience. Will definitely return to this hotel. Only slight problem was there is no hotel parking. You have to park on street, and as the hotel is at the bottom of a hill you may have 100 metre walk uphill to your car. But overall it was worth it.

Hotel Faro is in an ideal position overlooking the old bridge and water. The hotel itself is well presented. Our room although small did overlook the water side as well and was very good value for money.

Peaceful & Romantic view of San Vicente!

Initially, this was just a stop-off point on our way back to Madrid, but we had such a good time, we stayed another night, and came back one week later with family. The small town made it easy to get around, and it was very peaceful, and quiet. Watching the bridge and sunset is relaxing, and it was nice to see the lights on both bridges at night -- very scenic! The menu items were sufficient to wind-down on the terrace at the end of the day. The cheerful staff spoke English and stored our picnic food in the kitchen fridge. Parking was on the street but we always found a spot within two blocks. We stayed in room # 311 and we liked the floor fan. Breakfast was good, and with the variety of items that included coffee, we felt it was a good deal.
