Editorial
Hotel overview
Set in a former mill within Isabel la Católica Park, this laid-back 4-star hotel offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from Gijón’s sandy San Lorenzo Beach. The warmly decorated rooms provide a casual yet comfortable atmosphere enhanced by air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Although not a luxury property, the hotel’s thoughtful amenities include free parking, a kid-friendly environment, and room service for convenience.
Guests can unwind in the garden featuring a tranquil pond or enjoy local flavors at the on-site Spanish and Asturian restaurant and bar. The business center and laundry service cater well to travelers planning longer stays or those on work trips. While the hotel lacks a pool and fitness center, its quiet setting near green space and beach appeal to visitors seeking relaxation and nature close to urban attractions.
Nearby, the BIOPARC Acuario de Gijón and Museum of the Asturian People offer engaging outings, while the hotel’s location provides easy access to public transit and Asturias Airport within a short drive. Visitor reviews note clean, comfortable rooms but mixed experiences at breakfast and sometimes uninspiring décor, reflecting a solid mid-range option rather than a premium stay.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“A lovely Parador in a beautiful location next to a wonderful park. The room was clean and comfortable if just a little uninspiring but in fairness it wasn't a premium room. Breakfast on two of the three mornings we stayed was very good but on the third morning the waiter seemed totally overwhelmed and failed to offer us a hot breakfast which was disappointing.”
