Pensión Arbidel

Very nice room in a beautiful town! The room was perfect for our one night stay while walking the Camino Del Norte. Very clean, good location and comfortable beds.

A lovely little hotel in Ribadesella, charmingly perched on several levels. My room was on the top floor, like an attic, but I never suffered from the heat and I spent very little time in the house. The windows were skylights, so they had to be closed in case of rain. Everything was very nice and clean, with cleaning once a day. The owners have a restaurant on the street level for meals and breakfast, which also serves as the reception. Be prepared for a lot of steep stairs to get to your room. The walls may be a bit thin, so you can hear the neighbors talking. Overall, very good considering the price!!! Ribadesella is very nice!

The lack of facilities (no heating when it is cold, no extractor fan in the windowless bathroom, the musty smell and high humidity) makes it a bad stay. The towels are very thin, hardly absorb water. The careless and nasty attitude of the property owner and manager made it much worse. Stay away from the Pension Arbidel if you don't want to freeze and sleep in a cold, smelly room.
