This little hotel by the river is a gem. The rooms are basic. Clean. Well maintained. The windows open to the river. It’s a perfect launch point for hiking all over the park. The Resturaunt was great too. Plenty of options for dinner. Breakfast was great. It would have been nice to be able to get coffee earlier that 0800 but I lived. Would come back here again.

Room was immaculate, soft sheets and towels and waking to birdsong and the gentle sound of the river nearby. Breakfast was better than promised, with juice, cheese, sliced meat and eggs served to our table as we ate overlooking the nearby river Cabrales. Their gift shop had amazing prices on their t-shirts, sweatshirts and souvenirs.
Staff were beyond lovely with kind smiles and eagerness to show hospitality.

Walk to the nearby funicular and explore Bulnes.

Stayed here 2 nights as we explored the Picos. Easy walk to the funicular to Bulnes. Room was ok, our only issue was that the shower head holder was broken and not tub stopper - first world problems though really. Everything was clean, food was filling and the beer was cold.

Was booked in for 2 nights, left after the 1st night. Incredibly basic, like a hostel. No plug in the basin or bath. No kettle facilities. Full of hickers shouting along the corridors at 6am to each other. All the doors slam.
The worse thing about the hotel is the utter rudeness of the staff, especially in the breakfast restaurant. Breakfast consisted of purely stale bread, cake and croissants.

Worst hotel I have stayed in

Absolutely awful hotel arrived yesterday told there was a bus every hour to town nothing arrived. Also told taxi was easy to get home..no taxi available 12k walk home in the rain. Rooms very basic load people shouting in the corridor at 06:00 in the morning and slamming bedroom doors. Breakfast was terrible just stale bread and the waiter was very rude. Went somewhere else after one night never go back here again staff were terrible, shouldn’t be in hospitality industry

The worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. While we didn’t expect luxury accommodations, we did expect clean rooms without broken beds. The service was extremely unfriendly and the food in the restaurant was pretty terrible. Beware, the restaurant closes at 9:30 and there’s nothing else for miles. We had 2 rooms. One had a broken bed with 1 pillow for 2 people and dead bugs in the bathroom. Then after arguing with the manager, she finally refunded us for our inconvenience for that room. That is the best thing we can say about the stay here which is unfortunate.

Great location for walks

Location is great. 5 minute walk from start of the gorge walk. 2 minute walk to the Bulnes Finicular (or walk). Behind the hotel is the road to the Naranjo de Bulnes viewpoint. Staff hardly speaks any English and I almost felt they were annoyed when a non Spanish speaker showed up (they had to get someone else, ect). Restaurant is basic but fine and well priced. Nice view when sitting outside.

It is all about the location

If you want a head-start to miss the crowds for the famous Cares George walk this is the place to stay. Just a couple of minutes walk from the start it is ideal. In all we stayed here three nights and also did the walk to Bulnes, which also starts just up the road, and also visited Covadonga from here. The breakfast and rooms are basic but the evening meals were nice as was the friendly manager.

Excellent location for hiking the Cares Gorge! We stayed 2 nights, arriving late the first night, but still before dinner (8:00 pm). Plenty of parking in front of and around hotel. Manolo, the manager, was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Dinner was very good and the prices were reasonable. Breakfast was sufficient to get us going on our hike. Showers in room were very good, strong and warm - which was great after a long day of hiking. Ate dinner in restaurant again on second night. If you are hiking the Cares Gorge, this is the place to stay!

Good location

300m to the start of the Ruta Cares and surrounded by towering peaks. Room was a good size, clean, and had dramatic views. No fridge, no aircon, minimal TV channels and WiFi kept timing out even if I was only a few feet from the router. We didn't expect any better, so these failings didn't really matter for 2 nights. The staff don't speak English and we don't really speak Spanish, but the menu had English translations, so we coped ok. The staff were very friendly and tried hard to please. The food tended towards rustic, and was well cooked and presented. Breakfast appeared basic, but included fresh orange juice, good coffee and lovely toasted bagguette. We enjoyed our stay.

What a location!

This friendly hotel met all our needs and was well placed for stunning walks in the area. Food prices and quality were very good considering the hotel has little competition. The hotelier was very willing, cheerful and despite is having little Spanish we managed to share a few chats together. The bedrooms and bathrooms are adequate and having a poor Wi fi signal and no phone signal because of the mountainous location was actually an unexpected relief.

Friendly hotel by Cares Gorge

We were delighted to arrive at this hotel after three days walking hut to hut through the Picos mountains - badly in need of a shower and comfortable bed. We weren't disappointed! The staff were all very friendly - nothing was too much trouble. the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The eating is 'Spanish bar food' with some Asturian specialities so nothing special but all cooked nicely. We returned for another night after three more days in the high mountains and we welcomed like old friends. Thanks.
