Parador de Gijón

Breakfast was excellent. There was a good choice of cold meats & cheeses. There was ready prepared fresh fruits & yoghurt. Cooked eggs of your choice with bacon. Plentiful tea & coffee plus delicious fresh orange juice. Vast array of croissants and cakes. The staff were helpful and efficient.

The bar lacked atmosphere and was extremely quiet with my party being the only occupants on a couple of occasions.. But the staff were attentive. Car parking was restrictive with a few spaces out of use because of a dangerous overhanging tree. It was disappointing as parking could not be guaranteed prior to arrival which is always a bit worrying when you are in your own vehicle.

We are two cyclists on a ride from Cadiz to San Sebastian. Our needs are simple we seek a clean bed and a hot shower – the hotel provided both Reception was welcoming and helpful – we had some language go astray and reception helped find this We select the Parador chain for a touch of luxury and enjoy the lavish and expert restoration of historical buildings across Spain - in this location the gardens and open sea side air were most welcome - fresh air after central Spain and its heat Excellent in every way

I am not a fan of the new build Paradors - liked the location - less so the build

Staff were hard working and very helpful. the Room was large and spacious with a nice view over the park. We had dinner and ate too much. The waiting staff were really helpful and accommodating. The chiperrones were first class, tuna salad enormous, bean stew delicious, stuffed onions melted in the mouth. Wine was well priced and everything was highest quality. we had a buffet breakfast which was delicious and we were offered bacon and fried eggs which were also delicious. The bed was firm and the bathroom was huge with a bath/shower. I do like a bath. Reception was helpful. There was parking on site. The hotel was spotlessly clean. We took the time to walk into town through the park and along along the promenade. it is quite a long way but worth it. The old fishing quarter has a lot of interesting cider bars which serve good food.

There was nothing I did not like about this hotel.

the hotel is a 20min walk from the city center, located just next to a nice park and the futball stadium. Staff is very friendly, room are very spacious and facilities as good as in any Parador. There is an onsite restaurant but we didn't go there.

It'd be great if they could add kettle and coffee machine. It was a bit pricey but it was in semana santa.

Very comfortable, quiet and restful room. Well fitted and spacious. Beautiful location on 2nd floor .with window overlooking park.

Only took breakfast on one morning of five day stay. Not impressed with choices and disappointed that 'hot' food was not. No provision for coffee/tea making in room.

The hotel is comfortable, in a very good location, and has a very friendly and helpful staff. There are many restaurants nearby as well as bus stops for further exploring.

There was nothing not to like at this Parador.

Traditional feel, the light open lounge areas. Comfortable room and good bathroom. Good access to local facilities and beach.

Next door to the football stadium, there was a concert which was quite noisy.

The hotel setting is lovely, next to the park, if a little way from the old town and the sea front. The outdoor bar area is lovely.

The food was not as good as the other hotels we stayed in and we had a very poor and quite expensive lunch in the restaurant.

The hotel is in a lovely location close to the centre of Gijon

The hotel was further away from the centre of Gijon than we had hoped. Our evening meal was a little disappointing.

superb location ( as seems to be the rule for all paradores ) parking facilities nice rooms

dinner within the parador restaurant only started from 20:30 But if you walk around you may find simple choices to eat
