Location of the hotel is perfect for la ruta del cares and others. Staff was super friendly, always kind and ready to help. Food was aammaaazing (and the cider!). I would be happy to go back there :)

Super, unpretentious, honest little family-run hotel on a small road and river at the foot of a staggering limestone gorge - an incredibly lovely setting, minutes on foot from the start some of the most famous and beautiful trails in the Picos. A most kind and genuine local family run it, working all the hours to provide clean rooms, an all-day bar service and a full menu of simple, tasty home-cooked dishes in their restaurant, where a full 3 course dinner with wine included for just €14 represents outstanding value. The bedroom was clean and attractive, the bed and pillows comfortable, it had the private bathroom I had booked, with a good supply of hot water, towels and toiletries. The central heating in my bedroom was good - and very welcome - too. I was very grateful to the helpful blogger (shout out to kevmrc) who first drew my attention to the Hostal Poncebos as the best place to stay for exploring this part of the Picos. I wholly agree!

Great location if you want to do the Ruta del Cares.
It’s a 10min ride from here. There are also buses from here.
The property was clean and comfortable. It had a pool which looked good, but unfortunately I never went there due to the rain.
Overall a pleasant experience.

Hotel La Rivera is located in Las Arenas de Cabrales, just outside the Picos de Europa National Park. It offers large rooms with satellite TV and a private bathroom.
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.
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.
Excellent location and welcoming staff. This place is perfect for nature lovers-my room featured a small balcony with mountain views and I fell asleep and woke to the sound of the river Cares. Delicious food and rate includes breakfast of coffee, local pastries, pan con tomate and the best orange juice. After a day of hiking, enjoy their amazing Asturian stewed beans and Rioja wines. Muchas gracias, Mirador!
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.
Perfect place for a hiking trip in Poncebos. Many trails start near the hostel, including the famous Ruta del Cares (the Cares Trail).
Also, the cable car to Bulnes is close (you could also do the hike as I did). The breakfast is good, not extraordinary. Worth the price. Very convenient parking in front. Good staff.
Beautiful view from the restaurant.
Recommended.
The hotel is close to the entrance of the Ruta del Cares, so for hikers it is perfect. The rooms are small, but OK. The local host, Manolo is extremely friendly and helpful. The local restaurant is fine. We had even glutene-free bread for breakfast. Sausage or cheese was not on the menu, but otherwise Manolo refilled our baskets and cups when we asked, so it was fine.
It happens rarely that a falling rock severely damages your car while it is parked outside a hotel. But if it does - as it happened to us - you cannot find more helpful hosts than Ramiro and his team. Their help was outstanding, from the moment that they spotted the damage until when the car was towed and they had arranged for us to get to Bilbao by taxi and bus.
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 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 location is entirely unbeatable. Excellent hiking trails that start from the foot of the hotel can keep you engaged for days.
The rooms were entirely adequate and the food alright, but the location is really what you're paying for.
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.
Lovely clean and comfortable budget hotel. Staff very friendly. The menu del dia at 15 euros was a great deal, great local comfort food at the end of a long days hike.
