The hotel is different, but very cool. The staff was mostly friendly and the vibe was good. The biggest complaint was that the shower was very dirty with mold. A little far from downtown but still walkable.

Dear Diana,We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with us.We are glad to hear that you found our hotel cool and appreciated the friendly staff and good vibe. However, we are concerned about your comment regarding the cleanliness of the shower. We take cleanliness very seriously and will address this issue with our housekeeping team to ensure it does not happen again.Regarding the distance to downtown, our hotel is indeed a short walk away, but we believe our proximity to San Lorenzo Beach and the beautiful views it offers make up for it. We hope you enjoyed the beach and the surrounding area during your stay.We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you again. Kind regards,Marina Gutiérrez, General Manager

The hotel is comfortable and well-located. It was raining so we didn't enjoy the location as much as we might have in better weather. Parking beneath the hotel was convenient and easy. Find another venue for dinner, however. We are here for dinner because of the rain, but I wouldn't do it again.

A hotel by the beach
Gijon is generally not a destination in itself but a necessary stopover on the long road to Santiago de Compostela. Once here, you'll realize that it is a beach town with a really nice beach that you might see from your hotel window. They provide parking next door and a nice buffet breakfast. When we were there in July there was a «feria», the summer fair in town. If you're coming from San Sebastian, you may want to stop at Altamira Cave or at Gaudi's summer residence in Colmillo en route to Gijon.

Great hotel
The hotel dropped a point on the overall rating as the breakfast was not up to my expectations, the car parking fees were a little steep (and the places were extremely narrow) and the buffet menu in the bar was limited (my first 2 choices from the menu were not available). Apart from that, a very nice hotel.

Good. But could do better.
Modern hotel right next to the beach. Nice pool for a dip. The room smelt of cigarette smoke which detracted from the hotel which is well presented. I used the gym which is next to the spa, but felt close to the sun. Might want to use a bit of AC there. Wireless, couldn't get it to work. My wife got hers going, it was slow but that seems to be he norm. All in all not a bad stay.

Great Location
The hotel is modern and comfortable. I didn't eat in the hotel so I can't comment on the food. The price of the room was competitive, but I did think that the 15 euros charged for parking was a little steep. Other hotels charge in the region of 5 euros. There are plenty of restaurants locally, I ate at one 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The sea front is pleasant and made for a good walk. Overall very satisfied with the location and the comfort of the hotel.
