parking just in front of the hotel, quiet area despite being in walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. the best was being able to sit in the garden and read peacefully. check-in was super simple and no problem that I did my booking 30 minutes before arrival. room was spacious and had a great view with large windows. would come again!

The location of the hotel is great - the town is really lovely, with great restaurants and cafés.
The staff was friendly and the pool was refreshing about a day's hiking.
The tourist office is often closed and the hotel does not give out maps, so come prepared!

This is a fantastic hotel, just a short walk from the center of town. The staff were welcoming, kind, and accommodating. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast very much. We had a room on the first floor and liked sitting in the chairs out front of the room, taking in the view and night air.
If you are a light sleeper, I suggest bringing earplugs as the walls are thin. Luckily our neighbors went to bed shortly after us so the noise wasn't too disruptive.
Set in a charming stone house in the village of Arenas de Cabrales, Hotel Mestas offers views of Picos de Europa National Park. It offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and TVs.
The hostal was better than what we expected. Even if the personnel does not speak English we manage to understand and they helped with directions and map for our hike 😁The rooms and bathroom were really clean ( even the shared ones), and food was tasty.

Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos.
Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos. The funicular train up to Bulnes is here as is the path that goes up to Bulnes. You can also start the Cares gorge walk here. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Spain and accessible to all ages.
This hostel has an excellent location for hiking. The roads are packed with cars, so it's nice to wake up and already be near the trails. It is very comfortable with great rooms and beds. Bathrooms are shared, but there are plenty and they are very clean and spacious. Breakfast is provided and the restaurant serves lunches, tapas and dinner as well. There are buses scheduled from Arenas de Cabrales to Poncebos; the bus stop is a 5-10 min walk from the hostel depending on how much luggage you are carrying.
The room was excellent - very comfortable and spotlessly clean. My only complaint would be that it was very hot and not well ventilated but it was August! The location is excellent if you are doing the Ruta del Cares trail - it is the closest hotel to the start of the walk, just a short walk away. There is plenty of parking outside if you arrive in the evening, which means your car is right at the end of the trail when you finish. I highly recommend staying here if you're doing the Cares trail.
best location we could find for the starting/end point of the Ruta de Cares. breakfast and dinner were available on site, and they had a cute bar. this was key, since you would have to drive to get to a restaurant. safe parking was included in price. we parked close to the trailhead and did the hike. my friend and i split up, which was no problem logistically, since i was able to walk back to the hotel, and did not need the car to get there.
The location of this property was amazing…just a very short walk to the Bulnes funicular. Property is dated but just fine. Owner was very friendly and breakfast was good (freshly baked croissants with pressed orange juice). Free parking on road in front of hotel. For anyone with mobility issues, there are no rooms available at ground level, up a flight of stairs to reception and then up again to rooms.
The last hotel before the Ruta des Cares walk begins so it's very convenient. Hotel has own reserved parking. Very important if it's a busy day and you arrive after 11am and no street parking available. Nice bar area and superb egg bacon and chips after the long gorge walk which is truly spectacular and not to be missed. Friendly staff. Great mountain view from our room overlooking the road. Comfy bed.
Wonderful, friendly host who was available at anytime, serving both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The restaurant was a relaxed and friendly place to eat, with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The location is fantastic, right beside the Cares Gorge and the funicular that takes you to Bulnes. The hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk in the mountains.
Amazing location ans view!! So close to the trail head for the main hike :) we had free parking in the street and had wifi! Only worked for half our trip but to have any service at all in the mountains was an unexpected treat. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Also a very cute gift shop in the hotel thats very affordable for last minute hiking gear or souveneirs.
Splendid value, and great location. The owner was very nice and talkative, and advised us throughout our stay. The breakfast was nice and plentiful. The hotel has a small car park, but even if that's full, there was always some parking place to be found on the street, even in August (but depending on the hour, of course).
The manager spoke very little English and we spoke even less Spanish, but that really didn't matter. He did everything he could to make us feel welcome. The hotel is in an excellent location for going walking. The service was a bit erratic but excellent when it happened.
Big breakfast (coffee, juice, toast and industrial pastries). Very nice staff. Perfect location for start hiking without worrying if you will get a parking slot for your car close to the beginning of the hiking routes. Simple but working hotel for our needs.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly located to do the Ruta del Cares. We did the ruta from here to Cain and back and had a nice, well priced meal in the hotel restaurant when we got back. Altogether a very pleasent stay and great value for money.
Very helpful staff. Very simple hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, on-site restaurant (with huge portions), and very friendly staff. Very close to the start of the Ruta de Cares - a 10-15 minute walk to the start or a 2 minute drive.
The family who runs this small low-key hotel are wonderful. The rooms are small and simple, but the location is perfect for parking and day hiking and the hosts very warm. We also enjoyed the lunch of the day which was a great deal.
The location was incredible, a 5-10 minute walk from a couple beautiful trails in el parque de los picos. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was kind and helpful. I highly recommend hostal poncebos.
