Very clean hotel, friendly staff, delicious food and breakfast. The bed was super confortable the room has good air conditioner, and the hotel is close to everything.
Beautiful room with tall ceilings and comfortable bed. The hotel is nice and right next to the church. It was very cold and they don't have heat in the summer so Maria at the front desk let me borrow her personal space heater to help me. She was amazing! Great restaurant as well.
wonderful peaceful night next to the sacred cave, once all the day trippers had left. Decent menú del día, wonderful views of the narrow valley, todo buen
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.
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.

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 room was clean, had decent size but there was a lack of maintenance. The shower head would fall if moved slightly, the toilet cover was missing a hinge, there was a broken towel rack and the main door was missing oil and would squeak everytime it was opened.
There is a lack of parking space (only enough for 15 cars or so), no room service available. There is a cafeteria available which closes at 7pm however we went at 6pm and they no longer had food available. The staff was kind and helpful. Definitely not 4 star worthy though.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The location within a sanctuary is extraordinary BUT the 2 bar/ restaurants close about 6 and there’s only the hotel bar/restaurant. So if you want a bit of an evening out you must drive.
Also, you can park very early or late but literally thousands of people come during the day so returning to the hotel with a car is impossible.
We visited in August, so may be different other times of the year.
Hotel is beautiful and the sanctuary with the Basilica and grotto very atmospheric-
We wouldn’t stay there again.
