Location of the hotel is perfect for la ruta del cares and others. Staff was super friendly, always kind and ready to help. Food was aammaaazing (and the cider!). I would be happy to go back there :)

Super, unpretentious, honest little family-run hotel on a small road and river at the foot of a staggering limestone gorge - an incredibly lovely setting, minutes on foot from the start some of the most famous and beautiful trails in the Picos. A most kind and genuine local family run it, working all the hours to provide clean rooms, an all-day bar service and a full menu of simple, tasty home-cooked dishes in their restaurant, where a full 3 course dinner with wine included for just €14 represents outstanding value. The bedroom was clean and attractive, the bed and pillows comfortable, it had the private bathroom I had booked, with a good supply of hot water, towels and toiletries. The central heating in my bedroom was good - and very welcome - too. I was very grateful to the helpful blogger (shout out to kevmrc) who first drew my attention to the Hostal Poncebos as the best place to stay for exploring this part of the Picos. I wholly agree!

The breakfast buffet was diverse and nice. You could ask to have eggs (with or without bacon) on most mornings. Lovely location with great views of the mountains. Great friendliness Spanish-style. Good cuisine with varied dishes. Lovely slow-cooked pork.
The hostal was better than what we expected. Even if the personnel does not speak English we manage to understand and they helped with directions and map for our hike 😁The rooms and bathroom were really clean ( even the shared ones), and food was tasty.

Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos.
Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos. The funicular train up to Bulnes is here as is the path that goes up to Bulnes. You can also start the Cares gorge walk here. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Spain and accessible to all ages.
The room was excellent - very comfortable and spotlessly clean. My only complaint would be that it was very hot and not well ventilated but it was August! The location is excellent if you are doing the Ruta del Cares trail - it is the closest hotel to the start of the walk, just a short walk away. There is plenty of parking outside if you arrive in the evening, which means your car is right at the end of the trail when you finish. I highly recommend staying here if you're doing the Cares trail.
best location we could find for the starting/end point of the Ruta de Cares. breakfast and dinner were available on site, and they had a cute bar. this was key, since you would have to drive to get to a restaurant. safe parking was included in price. we parked close to the trailhead and did the hike. my friend and i split up, which was no problem logistically, since i was able to walk back to the hotel, and did not need the car to get there.
Superb location and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Parking directly in front of property. We had room with own bath/shower and the water was super hot and pressure great. Food in the evening, although basic, was plentiful and tasty. Breakfast was more than adequate before setting out on one of the numerous walks which start/end in Poncebos. For a Hostel, this makes a great stay and good value for money.
Excellent location and welcoming staff. This place is perfect for nature lovers-my room featured a small balcony with mountain views and I fell asleep and woke to the sound of the river Cares. Delicious food and rate includes breakfast of coffee, local pastries, pan con tomate and the best orange juice. After a day of hiking, enjoy their amazing Asturian stewed beans and Rioja wines. Muchas gracias, Mirador!
The last hotel before the Ruta des Cares walk begins so it's very convenient. Hotel has own reserved parking. Very important if it's a busy day and you arrive after 11am and no street parking available. Nice bar area and superb egg bacon and chips after the long gorge walk which is truly spectacular and not to be missed. Friendly staff. Great mountain view from our room overlooking the road. Comfy bed.
Wonderful, friendly host who was available at anytime, serving both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The restaurant was a relaxed and friendly place to eat, with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The location is fantastic, right beside the Cares Gorge and the funicular that takes you to Bulnes. The hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk in the mountains.
Perfect location for hiking from Poncebos. My room was comfortable with a good bed and shower. There is a car park for guests. Breakfast and dinner were ample and good value for money. You can walk directly from hotel to Cares and Bulnes hikes (and no doubt many others). Friendly, helpful staff (though you might need to use google translate!).
This hotel was such a great find. The location is perfect for several hikes, including ruta del cares! The view from the rooms is amazing, there is a restaurant at the bottom that serves great food! The host for the hotel is so helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay so much we are looking forward to returning!
Big breakfast (coffee, juice, toast and industrial pastries). Very nice staff. Perfect location for start hiking without worrying if you will get a parking slot for your car close to the beginning of the hiking routes. Simple but working hotel for our needs.
Very helpful staff. Very simple hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, on-site restaurant (with huge portions), and very friendly staff. Very close to the start of the Ruta de Cares - a 10-15 minute walk to the start or a 2 minute drive.
The location is entirely unbeatable. Excellent hiking trails that start from the foot of the hotel can keep you engaged for days.
The rooms were entirely adequate and the food alright, but the location is really what you're paying for.
The family who runs this small low-key hotel are wonderful. The rooms are small and simple, but the location is perfect for parking and day hiking and the hosts very warm. We also enjoyed the lunch of the day which was a great deal.
The location was incredible, a 5-10 minute walk from a couple beautiful trails in el parque de los picos. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was kind and helpful. I highly recommend hostal poncebos.
Location at the start of the Cares path. We could do the whole route and come back in the day. Staff is very friendly. Manolo was there all the time to support on everything! Hotel and room were very clean.
