    Beautiful place with spectacular views. The church was amazing and magnificent. You could see it from the hotel. Breakfast was great and the price for a room was fabulous.

    Shower head was not great. Location is quiet and next to the Sanctuary, but we were not able to drive up to the lakes. They restricted access to private vehicles. If we had known this, we would have stayed in Congas de Onis and taken a tour.

    The room was a good size, bed was comfortable.

    It was very quiet in the night and the bar in the hotel did not open till the external one closed and then there was no food options only drinks.

    Fantastic location, couldn't be in a more beautiful settings. Lovely area to walk around and check out the cathedral and the Lady's sanctuary. Hotel is very smart and spacious rooms and bathrooms.

    The hotel seems having built quite some time ago, not particular modern. Usual problems in such hotels: no sockets besides a bed, too small deposit safes which would not fit a laptop, no iron table in the room, broken hair dryer, etc.

    The location is simply fantastic, 200m from the Santa Cueva and the Basilica of Covadonga, and 300m from the mountain road up to Covadonga lakes. I like the view from windows, and the oppty to open windows to have fresh air :) I would like to thank the staff for having an option of packed breakfast we could take to the lakes as the road closes at 7:30am and we had to leave the hotel at 7am to drive up to the lakes.

    Very loud noise coming from the elevators through the corridor. Even though we were relatively far from them, it was unusual and unpleasant every time the elevator doors opened and closed.

    Big room, excellent location, was clean.

    Beautiful hotel with a restaurant

    Parking was difficult, they do not have enough spaces for everyone and most people (despite reserving) needed to park quite far away and walk uphill because the lot was full. This could have easily been solved with a gate and a keycode. Wifi was weak at best. We were disappointed with the full-board restaurant fare, there were few options and often they were the same as the day prior.

    The location was great, beds were comfortable. Beautiful hotel and interior. The room we were in looked pretty new, with nice furniture. We were happy it included a refrigerator. Buses to the parks are walking distance and location couldn't be better to explore the church. Friendly hosts. There is a cafeteria on the 1st floor if you want simple sandwiches and drinks.

    It is an extremely touristy location, simply a zoo there. Not the hotel’s fault though. Parking is definitely possible if you have some patience.

    Wonderful service, staff and location. Old hotel and  has some wear and tear, but it’s still very lovely.

    Parking is limited

    The hotel is perfectly located next to the basilica and the shrine (if thats your thing). its only a short drive, either by car or by bus to Cangas de Onis which is a lively town with plenty of good rerstaurants. The hotel is old but is totally in character with the area - anything more modern would stand out (check out the new builds behind the hotel!) The restaurant food was good albeit limited and the staff suffered from a lack of numbers but on the main were good and friendly. Main down side was - the basilica bells! LOL! Especially the 5:45pm ones!!!

    The restaurant opens at 20:30 only: not ideal for non-Spanish tourists, particularly if you are there for hiking in the lakes region.

    Classic, old-style hotel. We had a very large room with 3 single, comfortable beds. Free, but limited parking.
