Gran Hotel Pelayo

The hotel is grand, but the carpets and furnishings have seen better days. However, I would still recommend the hotel, as the room was large and very comfortable. It is set near the cathedral and has mountain views, but there is nothing else in Covadonga except a couple of restaurants catering to tourists that close at 8 pm. There is an on-site cafeteria and dining room at the hotel, which is very nice. To go to Lagos Covadonga during peak season, one must take the bus (book well in advance, as it sells out fast) or a private taxi service that takes passengers first-come first-serve (no reservations) for 12 Euro pp. The taxi stand is located at the intersection of the road leading to the lakes. There is another taxi service that meets near the church at the top of the hill, but they only allow you to stay at the lakes for 1.25 hours and the ride is also 12 Euro.

Extraordinary location and beautiful hotel.

The best thing about this hotel is the location! Can’t beat the proximity to the Holy Cave or cathedral!!

The place is magical… the Virgen of Covadonga is such a unique experience if you are spiritual or not.

Beautiful location in this classy hotel with character. Only flaw, Parking was tight and someone hit my vehicle in Parking lot. Otherwise all good.

El hotel está justo al lado de la basílica y santa cueva de Covadonga. Se nota que está un poco anticuado… pero todavía tiene su encanto. Los recepcionistas son bastante secos y antipáticos sobre todo el hombre con gafas. Deberían ser más amables.

The hotel is a classic, and it is perfectly located

The hotel is located right besides the basilica with superb views of the mountains and immediate access to the road leading to the Covadonga lakes. It has the character of a mountain lodge. The breakfast is simple and the restaurant while not gourmet is a very good option to finish a day of exploration.

The enclosed balcony was a fun feature. Great location. Nice parking. Ok food.

We enjoyed the stay. Great location. Next to the Basilica and the Santuary of La virgen dr la Covadonga. The hotel needs some updates. AC was not the best. Bathroom needs update

What an amazing find up so high up in the mountains. Huge room with great views of the church and mountains. The set 3 course evening meal with water and a bottle of wine for 2 was great value at €30 each.

Super location in an amazing setting directly facing the Basilica and the Sacred Cave. The room was lovely and spacious, with really good quality bedding. A choice of restaurants/ cafeteria with different prices, offering Asturian-style cooking. Very helpful staff. The car parking is limited, so we frequently parked in the public carpark some 100-200m away. And the trip to the Lagos de Covadonga was a highlight of the area.

Beautiful Hotel. Service was very good, food at their restaurant was excellent

Amazing location

Lamento decir que la cama no me permitio descansar, era mala, y aclaro no creo que sea vieja, siemplemente era mala y sin remedio. Suerte que solo fue una noche.

Great location !! Nice , clean room and bathroom ,,, Very very close to the Basilica ,, helpful staff ,, will be back ,,

Breathtaking

Beautiful with elegance flare. I’m completely satisfied and with desire to return on my next trip to Asturias.

The property is my favorite and it’s in perfect shape. People are also lovely. This level if hotel should have a basic room service from the restaurant. The toilet paper could be softer. Otherwise, I plan to stay here again since it’s a wonderful place to stay.

Location to the Lady of Covadonga is next door, very convenient. Light breakfast, but good restaurant for dinner
