This hotel was in many ways the highlight of our two week touring holiday around northern Spain. The bedroom was not as large as the typical Parador bedroom, and it was modern so lacked the character of some of the historic hotels we stayed in. But Ribadasella was an absolute find, the location of the Don Pepe was unbeatable with its magnificent view over the beach and out to sea. The breakfast buffet was very generous, we dined at the hotel on both nights on their very affordable 28 euro fixed price menu and the food was of very high quality. The staff without exception were the friendliest and most helpful of any of the hotels in which we have stayed. The bed was very comfortable and though the hotel lacks aircon the ceiling fan kept us cool in the exceptional October heat. We would be very happy to return but would stay longer than this time,. Top marks.

Nothing

Lovely hotel , we stayed on the first floor with balcony to the sea . Love the sound of the waves crashing . The room was decent size , beds confortable . Shower very good . It is a pity we didn’t stay longe to enjoy the room and his mini balcony . Another bonus is the free breakfast , very nice and decent ; Servíng cold meats , bolleria and toast . The staff is very friendly . Very close to the caves too! Parking available around the hotel - free .

The hotel is small and the balconies are so close to each other that you feel that you are on top of each other , but that is so insignificant when you have that view !

We’re given room as requested. Beautiful Juliet balcony view over beach and bay, very special. Modern hotel, good sized room, double glass balcony doors, comfortable beds, lift, small fridge. Nice shower. We enjoyed the breakfast, very good variety. Nice town to walk around and dine.

A kettle in the room would be nice. Coffee machine at breakfast uses powdered milk. Warm milk is also offered from a jug but most modern machines offer fresh milk as part of the process.

We had a great time staying at Don Pepe, thanks to the friendly staff, the comfy bed and the perfect location right next to the beach. Street parking was always available on the street outside the hotel throughout our stay. Ribadesella was a short and easy stroll away.

No complaint, really, as the included breakfast was ample and nice, but we would have loved to have had some more options, such as scrambled or fried eggs.

The small location map on Booking.com website shows the hotel near the Punta del Arenal, but would be better if made larger to also show the railway station, as the fairly long route to the hotel crosses a long bridge over a winding river which made difficulty in locating this seaside hotel. Given the price paid, I would have expected cooked food to be available, not withstanding my visit being made late in the year.

The location is stunning. The room had a small balcony and was on the ground floor. I would have preferred one with a bigger balcony on the top floor. I don't mind paying an extra supplement for this. The restaurant food although limited in choice was excellent, well priced and the serving staff very friendly and efficient.

All was good.

The hotel is really well situated. Our comfortable room had a balcony overlooking the beach and sea, well worth booking a room with a sea view. The room was comfortable. All the staff were friendly and helpful. it was nice to have a cafe bar. Breakfast was very good. it is really well situated for walking along the coast, the nature reserve behind and for walking over the bridge to the old town and the bars. This is definitely a place we will return to, Ribadesella is so beautiful, and a hotel we will happily return to. Thank you Hotel Don Pepe.

Excellent location. We had a room with the amazing ocean view. The hotel has direct access to the beach. Very good breakfasts. The only negative point is very narrow underground parking. It is good that it is, because it is not popular in this area. For small cars it is ok. However if you have a bigger car, the parking lots are not comfortable.

Great location and the rooms with sea view are worth it as you really do get a great view. Helpful staff who were very reactive to all requests. There is a small underground car park (for an extra fee) which is difficult for bigger cars but very secure - in low season there are plenty of spaces in the street outside the hotel. It is very easy to walk into town for dinner (15 minutes max). Breakfast was good with great coffee. Good value for the great location.

Rooms might be a bit basic for some tastes.

The room was marvelous! Clean, bright, and spacious. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is great, in front of the beach, close to centre and everything (groceries, laundry, restaurants). We had dinner in Don Pepe restaurant since we were a bit lazy to walk far (we are on Camino and had long walk on that day😃), surprisingly the food is tasty! and the staff amazingly good. So basically Ribadesella left us great memory during our Camino trip.
