Parador de Gijón Hotel

This is a wonderful place to stay. It’s an old converted water mill on the edge of town, with a lovely walk along the beach promenade to get to the centre. There is a park adjacent with a beautiful lake with ducks and geese - very peaceful. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Would definitely return. There is a car park with space for a limited number of cars. If you can’t get a space there is more parking a short distance away.

Great old-fashioned looking hotel but with all the mod-cons. Super service in the bar from the efficient and friendly waiter.

We arrived on the day of the national Spanish power blackout after long journey. Reception staff excellent and briefed us on restaurant choices being restricted because of this. Also on parking. All staff throughout whether in restaurant, reception, at breakfast or in cleaning of rooms excellent. They were invariably friendly, helpful and had some English. If you book go for room with view of lovely park which has an island full of birds. Gijon is an interesting place to visit for a couple of days or more.

Wonderful Parador in great location for park,beach and shopping/eating/drinking. Loved Gijon.

Average parador concerning appearance but below average concerning luxury and style interior. Location and parking possibility are good.

As expected from a Parador, it was great beyond my expectations.

We loved this place. The location, the room, the staff, the food and wine. We booked a single night for an enroute stop after arriving in Spain at Santander. After seeing the room, we booked another night. After spending a day in town, another night. After some research over wine in the bar, more nights! The hotel is in a perfect location, walking distance to the old town, beach and shopping districts plus arena and exhibition centre. It’s an easy bus trip or train to nearby towns meaning no driving or parking issues and no uprooting, packing and unpacking. Breakfast here was excellent with good quality food and service. Reception staff were fantastic and very tolerant of us changing our booking day after day. Thanks very much to Miguel! The crux of it all was the fantastic room. Large opening doors onto the gardens, quiet location, two comfortable chairs and a small table, perfect for watching tv, reading or having a snack. There is a supermarket close by for snacks, fruit or chocolate as required. The breakfast room overlooks the park and there’s a couple of public areas aside from the bar to meet people. There was a football game one night we stayed and we loved the vibe but with the windows shut, you wouldn’t have known it was happening. As Parador ‘amigos’ we get discount too! Loved it. Highly recommended.

A very nice hotel near the pond with birds and close to the ocean. Everything was perfect, the common spaces look like home, the cuisine was excellent and personnel very attentive. I really liked it.

Excellent service, comfortable rooms and top quality local cuisine. I recommend the Fabada and the various season fish on offer.

The hotel rooms are a good size very clean and comfatable there is parking onsite and its very close to the stadium,
