Muy buena ubicación, ideal para conocer casco antiguo y para la playa, a tres minutos andando. El personal muy atento. Desayuno buffet y limpieza correcto
Falta de parking, en una zona complicada de aparcar. Quizá algún concierto con los parking cercanos sería una solución

La ubicación del hotel es excelente. Puedes recorrer el centro de Gijón andando. Cercano a la playa de San Lorenzo, a la plaza mayor, al puerto deportivo...... El personal muy amable y los desayunos perfectos.
Las habitaciones muy básicas, deberían tener al menos una nevera, ya que el tenía hueco para alojarla. La televisión no funcionaba y nos la cambiaron, pero solo se cogían bien 2 canales.

Hotel ideal para un fin de semana, por su ubicación y la relación calidad precio. El personal excelente, el desayuno muy variado y equilibrado.
Las luces del baño son de poca intensidad y contar con un hervidor de agua sería ideal

Lo mejor de este sitio es la ubicación. No tiene parking, recomiendo dejarlo en zona azul (sale mucho más barato que parking)
La mampara rota, la higiene pésima (pelusas debajo de la cama, vasos sucios en el desayuno…). La pizzería que aparece en las fotos está cerrada por avería.

La ubicación y los colchones, muy cómodos.
The cleanliness, as we had almost no hand soap and the staff did the rooms very early (9:30 am), so we had to leave the room early if we wanted them to clean.
La limpieza, pues casi no teníamos jabón de manos y el personal hacía las habitaciones muy temprano (9:30 am), por lo que teníamos que salir pronto de la habitación si queríamos que limpiaran.

Ubicación del hotel
When I went to the reception to tell them that the heating in the room was not working because it was cold in Gijón in February and it was raining, I was surprised that the answer was that they do not put it on until 19:00, although it is true that they offered me a small heater,
Al acercarme a recepción para decirles que no me funcionaba la calefacción de la habitación ya que en Gijón en febrero y lluvia hacía frío me sorprendió que la respuesta fuera que no la ponen hasta las 19:00 , si es verdad que me ofrecieron un calefactor pequeño,
