There was a lovely cat there that we liked very much 🐈 Parking and check-in super easy, close enough to the centre of the village. Very clean and homely. The cat was the best bit though.

Good location just outside of town. It's exactly as described and shown on the images. Our room, which faced the hillside, had the benefit of a private patio area. The staff were friendly and helpful and well trained. The breakfasts were excellent. This is a very good centre for walking and touring in the Picos

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!
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.
It's the perfect place to stay in Poncebos! It's lovely location close to the funicular train station and starting point of hiking trails. Friendly owner, helpful staffs, and very clean. They change towels everyday and replenish soap/shampoo daily. I have a room overlooking the Río cares. Fulfilling foods in the restaurant with the best views... This is a place I will return to stay! 😊
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.
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.
We had a lovely time at the hotel. The staff are all so friendly, amazing views and right at the start of the Ruta Del Cares which was perfect for us as we planned to do this hike (any meant not needing to worry about finding a place to park). The restaurant in the hotel also had great food which was a bonus!
The location was perfect for exploring some of the most beautiful parts of the Pico de Europa park. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was great and the dinner set menu was excellent value. The room was comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this hotel for the price and location.
If you're planning to hike the Ruta de Cares, this is the perfect spot to stay. Nestled in the river gorge just steps from the trailhead. You may see cattle being herded up the road in front of the hotel. Food in the restaurant is reasonably good and well priced. Attentive housekeeping staff.
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 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.
We keep coming back to Hotel Garganta since our first visit there in 2016, and that tells it all! It's like our second home. Can't wait to come back there next year again! Sending much love to Irene, Paco and Flippi!
The staff at hostel Poncebos were amazing, they gave excellent advice to us, changed our booking and were in all ways kind and considerate. We will definitely come back. Thanks very much
