    The breakfast was not great, only industrial pastries, very white bread and cheap ham. Moreover everything was wrapped in individual plastic containers, they should start considering sustainability.

    Awesome location and staff

    The hotel is quite basic and slightly dated.

    The Hotel is situated in the middle of the most stunning Pico’s de Europa. We were able to put our bikes in the garage of the hotel. It has got a nice outside area for drinks and food.

    Dinner wasn't great, but given the remote location the food was suitable enough to fuel for hiking. Pillows were also pretty flat but that seems to be the norm across most hotels.

    The perfect location to explore the Cares Gorge. Rooms were clean and staff were great, breakfast was simple and suitable.

    No frills, clean and very reasonably priced little hotel in an ideal position for hiking through Garganta del Cares or up to Bulnes and the central Picos. Parking here saves a lot of headache at this very popular destination and allows for an early startt or late return to avoid the worst of the crowds. The food served in the evening a la carte for hotel guests is cheap and decent.

    Nice hotel, very close to the hiking trails. We stayed with our 3 month old baby, which was no problem at all. We were there outside the season during the week, so not many other guests, but the restaurant was still open for us (breakfast and dinner). We loved the bean stew! Very friendly staff, who even helped to comfort our baby when he was crying. Also handy that there's private parking, because it can get busy on weekends and during holidays.

    Rooms were neat and clean. Staff was lovely: friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for the funicular to Bulnes and the Ruta de Cares.

    There was no bath in our room, although my booking said that there would be one.

    Excellent location for walks along the Ruta del Cares and for walks to Bulnes (or for using the Funicular). Had a lovely evening meal.

    Nothing really

    Location is absolutely great. So close to the ruta de cares which gets very busy. Breakfast is also really nice and the staff are very sweet. Rooms are a little dated but does the trick. Happy we stayed here.

    No air conditioning, but probably not needed in the mountains.

    Private parking available and the hotel sits on the road to the Ruta del Cares and the path to Buines and the mountains beyond. The fenicular railway to Buines only 5 minutes walk. Good sized room with en suite shower amd toilet. Good menu del dia available for lunch and dinner, breakfast was typical continental.
