Plan your stay at Pensión La Gaviota

Hostel opposite Playa de Santiago, with double rooms, some with balconies and sea views, free Wi-Fi and nearby hiking trails.

Room types

All three rooms are double rooms for up to two people, with a private bathroom with a shower and two single beds. They share practical amenities: a toilet, towels, toilet paper, bed linen, a wardrobe and a clothes rack. Free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms. They are compact, with two options measuring 10 m² and one measuring 12 m².

The differences are in the outdoor space and the views. One of the 10 m² rooms overlooks the street and has no balcony. The 12 m² option adds a balcony and views, while the other 10 m² room also combines a balcony with sea views. You can choose between a simpler stay, a slightly larger room or an option with sea views; all have the same capacity and bed configuration.
