Hotel Cityexpress Covadonga

It was in a pretty good location, relatively close to everything in Oviedo. The staff was friendly (although I am an English & Spanish-speaker and communicated with them entirely in Spanish... so I can't comment on their English skills). They let me leave my luggage there after check-out before my train left and were knowledgable. The room was clean, the view was horrible, and overall it was quiet and comfortable.

It was a great location. The staff were very helpful and available at all hours.

The room smelled like a sewer and the hall way smelled of gas. I will never use booking.com again. I made the mistake of not reading the "small print" regarding being charged the first night. I've never been to a hotel where I didn't pay upon checking out, after receiving the service for which I had received. In this case I did not receive the service but I still ended up paying. What happens with your service in the event that the room is completely unacceptable. You don't make refunds under any circumstances?

The location was near the old quarter and the city center was a hop, skip, and a jump away, but that was the only good point about the hotel.

Every time the toilet was flushed from any room, you heard it. The room was clean, but was not as clean as one would like a hotel room, more like a dingy hostel. The staff spoke little English and it was hard to communicate. Every thing was very noisy and the rooms so stuffy you had to open the windows, which in turn invited in all the noise from the other guests. I would reccommend spending a little more money and staying somewhere nicer.

The location is in the city centre and convenient for walking to the old parts of town. It is very good value for money. If you have a car the carpark next door gives a discounted 24 hr rate of €9.
