Gijón hotellit lähellä Talasoponiente

Plussat: The hotel was clean smart and comfortable, the room was excellent. The pool etc. was a little on the small side but still adequate and the staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: It was a good 30 minute walk to the harbour and old town which would have been fine but it was raining!

Plussat: Hotel is really close to the beach and if the weather is not the best you can swim in the pool

Plussat: The hotel was of a high standard. Staff very friendly and polite. Room had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay although we did not use the pool etc. It looked very inviting.

Miinukset: No proper restaurant due alterations. Annoying problem with electronic door keys not working.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Needs upgrade

Plussat: Parking ok

Miinukset: Neighborhood... ugly

Plussat: Large well appointed hotel near center of city was an easy walk to old and new parts of city. While the hotel offers parking at 9 euros per night, we were visiting over a weekend so with the bus/train station right across the street, we were able to park for free during our stay. Beds were comfortable, large bathroom with great shower and lots of outlets. We did not opt for the buffet breakfast but the lobby coffee shop/bar offered reasonably priced morning eats.

Miinukset: Hotel is 10-15 minute walk to most restaurants/shops . A couple eateries close but most are a bit of a walk.

Plussat: Room was clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Cost of car parking was very reasonable

Miinukset: Breakfast was Ok but not outstanding. Felt a little strange having it in the basement

Plussat: Yes you keep sending me I am entitled to genius/word smith discount I NEVER get it. I am a regular customer I called uk phone to your office and told your lady NOTHING was done please explain. Neil Angus

Plussat: It was a lovely hotel with great breakfast and lovely staff

Miinukset: Good business hotel but too far from town center to make it a touristy hotel

Plussat: Coffee

Miinukset: Swimming pool and spa with very rough stones around the edges!

Plussat: well appointed rooms, good shower and good location with on site parking (for a charge). Good breakfast and well worth the additional charge

Miinukset: We were travelling with our dog, and always put in the pets filter when searching. However at this property you are supposed to pre authorise as only so many pet rooms available. This led to a change of rooms and a bit of inconvenience. I did not feel this requirement was made clear in the booking process and could have left us without a room. Hope that booking.com can look into it and flag more clearly when it is necessary to pre-authorise pet stays.

Plussat: Swimming pool on the rooftop is really nice. Staff is very friendly. Location is good, albeit a good half an hour walk to the old centre of Gijon (which we liked though).

Miinukset: The price-quality was not in balance. We upgraded to a junior suite, which had more space but a smaller bed and a shower in the room. Awkward bathroom. On the whole the bulding was old, with old carpet in the hallways, and also the rooms were outdated. Furthermore you pay some 20 euro's per night for the car parking, which is too much, and almost 40 euro for breakfast (for 2 persons). The breakfast room is not nice and breakfast is oke, but not super.

Plussat: Location, clean, quiet

Miinukset: Food variety to low. Electronic lock for the room was not working correctly. I had to pass the card several times to enter the room.

Plussat: Fairly newly refurbished and clean. Car park facilities available

Miinukset: It’s pretty expensive for the type of property as well as the location

Plussat: Beds. Shower.

Miinukset: No welcome drink. Items laid out but part of expensive mini bar. Expensive car park when parking there was only option.

Plussat: +Excellent reception staff members who were always helpful and happy to assist with restaurant bookings and taxis required etc. +Rooms cleaned to a very high standard. +Breakfast excellent and staff wonderful at breakfast service. +Pool and area surrounding pool very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: On the roof a bar has been created, however, it does not open until 8pm, therefore, there is no availability to be served any drinks hot/cold or snacks during the day. This was reported to the Hotel Manager and reception staff and the solution that they came up with 8 days into our stay was a notice at the pool next to a phone which displayed a very limited selection of snacks only available between 1.30-3.30 on the sun deck with a service charge the same as room service +€3 for any order under €9 We were surprised that the roof terrace was also closed on Wednesday night and we were unable to go for a drink. When we went to use the cocktail bar/ restaurant in the evening we were told that we could not have a cocktail until after 8pm?! On our first day we ventured to the basement following the lift signage to the restaurant- cafeteria where we were told rather sharply that ‘this is a restaurant” and we could order snacks on the roof terrace but it did not open until 8pm so having travelled from the UK we were unable to get anything to eat/drink within the hotel with **** until 8pm at night?! Please note room service does not start until 8pm - is this 4 star service ****?! Leaking shower at base reported and we were given an extra floor mat?! ( Room 213) Nothing done for 10 days. The gym is basic however we were happy to make use of it despite the dampness and smell of damp clearly caused by a leak where mould has grown and spread. Gym equipment is rusty. This needs attended to. Most concerning is that there is a lock on the fire door out of the gymnasium-this is against the law. To give some understanding as to why the services of a 4 star hotel were sought out and important for us: My mother and father are 72 years old and my mother is disabled following a spinal injury. My father is undergoing chemotherapy for advanced stage 4 Prostate Cancer. As a result he is currently unable to fly.

Miinukset: Offered pool gym and spa of which all closed and what made it worse no bar ! So if looking for a bed only this hotel might work

Plussat: The location was great, the rooms clean and spacious .. staff was extra friendly and helpful with everything related and non related to the hotel

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Nice modern hotel. Great ammenities, friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay. The staff is excellent. Perfect location.

Plussat: The location is excellent. Right across from the beach and walkway.

Plussat: Friendly staff Location just beside the beach. There is a garage where you can leave your car and there is discount for the hotels guests, although a bit pricey.

Miinukset: It is not a modern hotel, but not very old, it keeps the charming that hotels used to have in the past. For us was not a problem at all.

Plussat: Excellent small friendly traditional hotel. Lovely breakfast in hotel cafe and good room service. The only seafront hotel on the beautiful main beach that is close to the old town harbour and restaurants.

Miinukset: No kettle on the room although excellent tea available all day in the cafe

Plussat: Thought it was excellent value for money! It is nicely located in front of the beach and near enough to the old town and close enough to bus and train stations. We had a light breakfast in the adjoining café and it was good value. Reception arranged a taxi to the bus station and this arrived within two or three minutes. Very impressed! Taxi fare to bus station was also very reasonable. We had stayed in the Hotel Alcomar on our last visit to Gijon some 4 years ago and we intend to stay there again when we resume the Camino Norte from Gijon sometime next year! Would strongly recommend this hotel as it ticks most of the boxes!

Miinukset: We were initially allocated a room on the 5th floor, which was essentially a loft room with low ceilings etc. ,but, when we raised this with reception, we were immediately changed (without hesitation) to the first floor and to a room which was a reasonable size and which was quiet. So avoid the 5th floor!

Plussat: Alcomar is a hotel that well preserves the character, style and charm of years gone by. Location is excellent, nearby the beach and main attractions. I would recommended it to anyone that would like to enjoy a nice and comfortable stay at Gijon. Breakfast is reasonable good but not continental self-service.

Miinukset: Breakfast service and offer can be improved. A welcoming friendly smile could also help.

Plussat: aamiaine oli vapaaehtoisesti tilattavissa..kokki teki mitä pyysimme...ja se oli hyvää....

Plussat: Erittäin palvelualtista ja ystävällistä henkilökuntaa.

Plussat: The location and the room. Good WiFi. Clean room.

Miinukset: The hotel is not very old but the architecture is gloomy and not very appalling. Breakfast is not a Buffett and a bit limited. Not a great value for money.

Plussat: Great location. Right at the heart of the bay. Very Comfortable bed. Spacious. Restaurants and coffee houses all within walking distance. Very safe. Absolutely beautiful.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Proximity to beach and night life was good. Shopping also near by.

Miinukset: One of the problems of being across from the beach is the noise level, even at night. No Air Conditioning available and quite warm in the room. Beds were very uncomfortable.

Plussat: The location is great. Silent and clean rooms. Our room was large and comfortable but a bit dark as giving a view on the back streets. The furniture is resembling the Victorian style and looks outdated but everything is well kept. Just a few steps from the huge and beautiful beach. Guests are served at the table for breakfast.

Plussat: Excellent location! Hotel is a bit “tired” but adequate.

Miinukset: It’s an old hotel but adequate facilities and the location is excellent.

Plussat: Central location and close to beach

Miinukset: Saturday night drinkers were too noisy in the streets

Plussat: It has everything that a traveller needs. Basic but well equipped. They have water and bevareges at the reception, which is 24/7. Very clean rooms, strong wifi signal and VERY good location.

Miinukset: Limited offer at breakfast but considering the price we can't complain.

Plussat: Conveniently close to the city centre. Next to Correos & Decathlon

Miinukset: Difficult to find as I didn’t have a map

Plussat: Friendly staff. Location just at the city centre, but not the main bar/restaurant area so quite quiet.

Miinukset: The thing I found quite annoying was the lack of any noise protection in the room's door. Could be worse closer to the lift. Also in the bathroom one could hear the neighbouring bathroom noises.

Plussat: I liked the location... City centre.

Miinukset: Not soundproof.... From next Door room...

Plussat: Day clerk was really helpful with recommendations

Miinukset: Turning in your key every time you exit the hotel seemed tidious and unnecessary

Plussat: Good and quiet location. Very helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room.

Miinukset: Sound proofing could be better. The wardrobe doesn't contain shelves.

Plussat: Friendly staff, very clean and great location

Miinukset: Not much healthy option for breakfast. Difficult to find a street parking, just for a short stop front of the hotel

Plussat: Room was clean and quiet and had everything I needed..

Miinukset: There was absolutely nothing that displeased me..

Plussat: location – on the main shopping street in the city center, very close to the old town; professional and helpful staff; sponsored price in the local public garage;

Miinukset: outdated; small room; very small, extremely small bathroom (not applicable for big people!); bad soundproofing – every noise is auditable; breakfast is on the poor side, but American coffee is good; uncomfortable bed; was not clean enough;

Plussat: Very nice and helpful staff, great location, with a view to San Lorenzo beach, very good breakfast, with a large and nice breakfast room again with a view to San Lorenzo beach - a great place to be. I returned there and will do that in future as well.

Plussat: Excellent location overlooking the beach.

Miinukset: No restaurant (except for breakfast.) Room service available, presumably sourced from outside. No bar. No air con in room. No tea/coffee making facilities in room. Don’t believe this is a 4 star hotel, maybe 3.

Plussat: Great location , beach and downtown

Miinukset: the room smell, particularly in the bathroom

Plussat: The hotel room we booked looked out over the beach, & it was clean & well equipped. The receptionist when we arrived was very helpful.

Plussat: Comfortable bed

Miinukset: No proper window blinders Old hotel refurbished Basic stuff available

Plussat: We stayed in a superior room which was like a small flat with a fantastic view. Breakfast was very complete and the view from the breakfast room was amazing.

Miinukset: the only problem we had was that the heating stopped working at a certain time in the evening and the place as it was quite big started to get chilly. We called the reception and they told us that they could not turn the heating on as it stopped working automatically at a certain time, but the provided us with a small heater. The entrance has stairs which make it difficult to carry the suitcases. The garage is not in the hotel premises.

Plussat: The beds were very big and comfy. The beach directly on beach was great and everything within walking distance.

Miinukset: Breakfast should have more hot vegetarian options.

Plussat: Stunning views of the beach. The breakfast room has stunning views and the breakfast is ok.

Miinukset: Rooms are old, stuffy and hot even when window is left open. Only 2 sockets in the room and they are needed for the T.V. to work. Wifi is terrible, hard to connect and extremely slow. The room was clean enough but finding a clean glove on my chair wasn't great, I understand accidents can happen, so I was probably just bad luck on my part. Basically the hotel needs a major refurbishment, has a huge amount of potencial if it does.

Plussat: The hotel has an excellent location opposite a fabulous beach. Staff at reception are helpful and professional. Breakfast is good value for money. Parking closeby.

Miinukset: The breakfast room is understaffed, loud and messy. Hotel parking is expensive. Hotel seems a bit run down and appears cheap which is sad given the location.
