Hotel La Colina

We just spent three nights at Hotel La Colina in Gijon, Spain. I have to say it’s been the highlight of our European trip. The location is secluded outside of town, but you can get into town in 10 minutes. We ate breakfast in the cafeteria every morning and the food and service were wonderful. The rooms were great, the views are fantastic, along with the hiking paths and best of all the staff were some of the friendliest people we’ve met on our trip. Highly recommended, and we will be back.

Spectacular view. Simple. Really enjoyed

Old traditional style quiet hotel. 1 hour walk to San Lorenzo beach, but others much closer. Ideal for cycling and walking. Uber app works with local taxi and uber. The staff are predominantly Spanish speaking, however a small effort and they try as did we. The night staff member was lovely. Free breakfast in the Cafeteria, and good Spanish cuisine. Local restaurants from 5-15 minute walk. If you come out the front and and walk away from the hotel along the cliff there is a beach and bar, restaurant 35 mins away, go the other way and you will find yourself in the town. If you want to be in the middle of town, then try somewhere else however if you want a fantastic lovely experience with great staff, comfy bed then stay here. Also parking is free. I have to say the entire area for novices is properly Spanish, but hola, for favour, gracias and some google translate is more than enough to find the welcoming local staff and people (who want to help). Finally if eating try the Fabada and the other local cuisine it is great, add to the famous Sidre! We will be back, think that is it, but really happy 5* review.
