Hotel Faranda Pathos Gijón, Ascend Hotel Collection

El hotel está situado a dos pasos de la plaza del ayuntamiento y a dos y medio de la playa y el puerto deportivo. Hay numerosos restaurantes alrededor. Es un poco viejo y se le nota. Los cuartos de baño son suficientes pero muy estrechos, no adecuados para estar dos personas a la vez. Las camas son normales, los suelos NO son de moqueta (lo que a mi me gusta) y todo el hotel cuenta con cobertura gratis de Wifi (y de calidad bastante aceptable). Respecto al desayuno incluido, se trata de un desayuno a base de zumo, café (o similar) y tostada o pieza de bollería que se sirve en la cafetería del hotel. O sea, que no se trata de un bufet. Ahora bien, el café es bueno y la atención mejor.

Went to Gijon for a friend's wedding in the off season. I can see how the place would be popular in the summer season, but not much going on otherwise. The hotel is in a prime location though - right next to the beach and downtown. We booked through a website called hotel club - for convenience as my friend had used it. The desription was nothing like reality - they clearly said there was an indoor swimming pool. Wasn't expecting much, but the description is clearly for another hotel, as this is a small old hotel with locals in the coffee shop in the front. The rooms are pretty pokey and some of the walls are a bit paper thin, but they've made a precent decent crack at fixing it up to make it look a bit more modern by adding some pop art prints and theming each room with a famous person. Probably quite good value for the location and the standard.
