Parador De Gijon

We were given a small, dated room, with two single beds pushed together. No kettle or tea & coffee making facilities provided in room. There was a small fridge, with two bottles of water, however these were part of the mini-bar contents and if drunk, guests would be charged. So no complimentary bottled water, which, in my opinion, is unacceptable, particularly during very hot weather. The room had an ancient TV with no English speaking channels. We managed to get one of the last remaining spaces in their small private car park, hence we were reluctant to give up our space and drive closer to the old town which is a 30 minute walk through the park and along the promenade. I wish I’d read more reviews before selecting this Parador. Just relieved we were only staying the one night and didn’t include breakfast. Actually had a reasonable nights sleep, comfortable bed and a quiet room. My recommendation - stay somewhere else.

Excellent service. Incredible location. Delicious breakfasts. We had a problem with the reservation, and they resolved it with total professionalism and kindness. We will return. We recommend it 100 percent. Special mention to all the staff, and particularly to Mr. M.C. who attended to us wonderfully.

Situated in a pretty park right in the middle of Gijon this is a relatively modern Parador on the site of an old watermill. We had one night here and like all Paradores, the room was spotlessly clean. The food at breakfast and dinner was excellent
