The location of the hotel was spectacularly good due to the impact of the exposed rock in the cliff faces of the surrounding mountains. The hotel was quiet other than the background sound of the cattle bells.The hotel was spacious with lots of circulation space and lounge areas with views or the surrounding mountains and countryside. The bedrooms were spacious, beds comfortable and with an indoor balcony with large opening windows. The staff were friendly and the food was good. We were touring the Pyrenees and Picos mountains by motorcycle and there was a specified MC parking area at ground level under a cantilevered area of the first floor.

There were no negatives about the property other than the cable car, which takes you from the hotel to the top of the surrounding mountains, was out of order due to technical problems. it is a 4 to 5 hour climb to the top from the hotel and a 3 hour return. we tried the climb but we’re caught in an electric storm and torrential rain and had to turn back at about half way up.

the breakfast was great! rich and good very clean

Amazing views and very close to the cable car which is must see. The room was large and had a really nice enclosed balcony with a fantastic view. Restaurant and bar staff were excellent and did an amazing job to serve so many people so quickly.

The food and breakfast was good but possibly a bit over priced as it's not quite as high quality as it could be.

- the rooms with the nice small glass balcony. - the big free guarded parking. - great location. - personnel was nice and helpful. - good breakfast. - chrome cast TV - a lot of lounges and sitting room for the guests. - the personnel in the hotel and the restaurant spoke English, which helped us a lot.

- clean, but most certainly dated interior and facilities. - we were on the first floor and by the staircase and we heard people speaking on the reception on the ground floor. So be wise, and remember about the acoustic choosing your room.

location

the food in the restaurant was overpriced.

Lonely Planet describes the parador as an ugly building besides the cable car and doesn't even suggest staying there; but instead recommends hotels further down the valley. Don't believe them. The look of the hotel may not be to everyone 's taste but I think it is appropriate to the setting (which is absolutely stunning at the base of the High Massif) and is definitely not ugly. Inside it is fitted out to the high standards common in all the Paradores I've stayed at. The bedrooms are comfortable and, I think, all come with an enclosed balcony which provide a nice sitting area with good views of the mountains. The staff were friendly and took time to explain the walks in the area (there are two amazing ones from the top of the cable car; one ascending 500 metres and the other descending 1000 metres. Both taking about 4 hours and both quite demanding.) The food was good, a great breakfast buffet and good choice for evening meals. Most people in the hotel seemed to do Half Board which is a good idea as otherwise its a drive to find a restaurant. There's also a very spacious lounge on the ground floor next to the reception. All in all a very enjoyable stay and one I would definitely recommend if you're planning on visiting yhe Picos de Europa.

Everything was good.

All in great because everything you needed was on site, good food, bar, outside seating to take a cool beer after a high mountain walk. staff really friendly, and my Spanish in almost non existent.

Everything was just wonderful! beautiful, comfortable, tasty and nice.

The location is jaw-dropping. Plenty of parking. Right next to the cable car station.

Some way from the nearest town (Potes)so not really able to enjoy variety of bars and restaurants.

The scenery is magnificent in the immediate locality. It is very close to the cable car that brings you up to even more impressive views and walks

We should have booked for 2 nights!

Everything was perfect.

Nothing could be better

place and staff

air conditioning controller failed to cool the room. had window open then turned controller off.

The location was excellent with clean, fresh air. Monica in the bar/restaurant lived her job and made us feel very welcome - a real asset to the hotel.

stunning location

it’s a little dated - very hot bedrooms and poor ventilation (AC was unless). the bar staff were fabulous but the restaurant staff a bit poor.

Stunning location up in the Mountains. Rooms are very comfortable. Restaurant was excellent and there was a good choice at breakfast.

Superb location at foot of mountains. We had a balcony overlooking the mountains and we only paid for a standard room. They did not say we had been upgraded so presume most rooms are lovely. Room very large with bath, shower, air con, comfy beds. Breakfast very good and nice selection of food. Very near the cable car to ascend the mountain. Staff friendly and spoke English.

Nothing we didn’t like. All perfect.

Everything was first rate. Rooms, beds, food, staff. Location is stunning. Couldn’t have been any better
