Classic hotel with a garden 100 m from La Salvé and 500 m from the centre of Laredo, with breakfast at any hour and pets on request.

A hundred metres to La Salvé
About a hundred metres from La Salvé beach and about five hundred from the centre of Laredo, at Calle González Gallego, 10, stands El Ancla. In other words: you are on the sand in a couple of minutes and can walk to dinner in the centre without taking the car. The hotel occupies a distinctive building, with a garden in front that serves as a lounge in summer: that is where you have breakfast, an aperitif and let the conversation run on.
Classic rooms and a breakfast without a clock
The rooms are spacious and sunny, with classic decor, television, minibar, hairdryer and free wifi. The atmosphere is quiet. The website does not publish how many there are or the prices: ask on its booking page or on 942 605 500.
What sets the house apart is breakfast with no time limit: you can come down whenever you like. The bar is open 24 hours, as is reception, and there is a wake-up call service, a shared safe and a formal lounge with television.
No lift: ask for the ground floor
The building has no lift. If stairs are difficult or you have a lot of luggage, ask when you book for one of the ground-floor rooms, which the hotel offers on request.
Car, motorbike, bike and dog
The hotel describes parking in the area as easy, and for motorbikes it has covered, supervised parking inside the building. It stores bicycles for pilgrims on the coastal Camino. Pets are accepted, but you must ask by phone when booking; do not take it for granted on an online booking.
For groups or courses, the hotel has a meeting room with capacity for presentations and small conventions.
Laredo on foot from the hotel
From the door, along the sand or the promenade, you can walk to El Puntal, at the other end of the beach, where the ferry to Santoña leaves. Towards the harbour is the Old Town, with its six medieval streets. On the last Friday in August the Battle of Flowers fills the town: if you go on those dates, book well in advance. The hotel itself points out that surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing are practised in the area.
