Good older hotel, pretty noisy

Some minor things what should be taken care of before we arrived. Take in mind the hotel is old and very noisy. For sure not bad, the restaurant is excellent and the location top of the top. Parking is easy, staff is very helpful and friendly. Especially the waiter in the restaurant.

The hotel is located right besides the basilica with superb views of the mountains and immediate access to the road leading to the Covadonga lakes. It has the character of a mountain lodge. The breakfast is simple and the restaurant while not gourmet is a very good option to finish a day of exploration.

This is a beautiful hotel which is well situated to see the tomb of Pelayo and the basilica. Charming and full of character, this hotel is worth the money. The restaurant serves dinner with Asturian classics at a reasonable price. The only criticism is that the waiter could not tell us anything about the cheeses we were eating. As Asturias is known for its gastronomy, a hotel of this class should have staff who can talk about the food in either English or Spanish. That said, I would not hesitate to return.

Wonderful hotel in a incredible location

What an amazing find up so high up in the mountains. Huge room with great views of the church and mountains. The set 3 course evening meal with water and a bottle of wine for 2 was great value at €30 each.

Wonderful setting

Super location in an amazing setting directly facing the Basilica and the Sacred Cave. The room was lovely and spacious, with really good quality bedding. A choice of restaurants/ cafeteria with different prices, offering Asturian-style cooking. Very helpful staff. The car parking is limited, so we frequently parked in the public carpark some 100-200m away. And the trip to the Lagos de Covadonga was a highlight of the area.

JANET

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is grand, but the carpets and furnishings have seen better days. However, I would still recommend the hotel, as the room was large and very comfortable. It is set near the cathedral and has mountain views, but there is nothing else in Covadonga except a couple of restaurants catering to tourists that close at 8 pm. There is an on-site cafeteria and dining room at the hotel, which is very nice. To go to Lagos Covadonga during peak season, one must take the bus (book well in advance, as it sells out fast) or a private taxi service that takes passengers first-come first-serve (no reservations) for 12 Euro pp. The taxi stand is located at the intersection of the road leading to the lakes. There is another taxi service that meets near the church at the top of the hill, but they only allow you to stay at the lakes for 1.25 hours and the ride is also 12 Euro.

Beautiful Hotel with excellent service. Courteous personal. Very attentive to you. Unfortunately the beds were very uncomfortable and the lack of air conditioning didn't let me sleep . But for those who don't care about it ,it is a nice property.
