Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stayed last night at Hotel Risco while walking the Camino del Norte, and it was exactly what I needed after a long day. The hotel is perfectly located on the Camino, above Laredo, in a very quiet area with beautiful views. The biggest advantage for pilgrims is the early dinner: dinner is served from 18:00, which is ideal when you arrive tired and don’t want to walk again. The restaurant is on site, the food was excellent, and everything was ready when I arrived. The room was clean, comfortable and very quiet — perfect for real rest. I highly recommend Hotel Risco to anyone walking the Camino del Norte. Arrive, eat, rest. Everything a pilgrim needs.”
“Hotel/restaurant with a really great location because of the sights that you have there. It is incredible to see all the sea and beach from there. The terrace is made by glass and permits you to drink or eat seeing the sea which is a great experience. The coffee is really good and the staff too”
