Guest Reviews
Nestled on the outskirts of Oviedo, Hotel Palacio de Asturias offers guests splendid views of the city and a tranquil retreat away from urban bustle. Ideal for travelers with a vehicle, the hotel's ample and free parking is a noteworthy convenience. The peaceful environment is perfect for relaxation, yet still close enough to the city center for easy exploration by car. Many guests appreciate the hotel's strategic location for visiting surrounding towns, finding it just a short drive to reach Oviedo's historic center. The spacious rooms and exemplary cleanliness further enhance its appeal. However, potential visitors should note that the hotel is not easily accessible on foot and is situated on a hill, which may pose challenges for some. Overall, Hotel Palacio de Asturias provides a serene and convenient stay with magnificent city views and excellent parking facilities.
The breakfast experience at Hotel Palacio de Asturias evokes mixed feelings among guests. On a positive note, some guests found the breakfast to be good, albeit a bit limited. Fresh products were available, but unfortunately, they were not refrigerated. Despite these positives, a recurring theme of dissatisfaction emerges from the reviews.
The buffet breakfast overall was described as having little variety with an unappealing presentation and often insufficient quantities. Industrial pastries and cereals were mentioned with no fresh fruit available. Some guests pointed out that the cold cuts were of poor quality and other items were described as plastic-like or outdated. Moreover, the hot milk dispenser was noted to be unclean.
Several guests highlighted the lack of replenishment, leading to situations where arriving later meant missing out on key items. Additionally, there were complaints about the disorganization and shortage of options, which many felt did not meet their expectations. The overall consensus suggests that, albeit some found it passable, the breakfast experience could benefit from significant improvements in variety, quality and replenishment.
Hotel Palacio de Asturias offers a set menu for dinner, which includes a first course, a second course, dessert, bread and a drink. While the menu is fixed and doesn't offer multiple choices, many guests found the quality and taste to be satisfactory, particularly appreciating the homemade feel of the meals. Some guests noted that, given the price, quality and convenient location, they were very happy with their dining experience. The dinner service is described as quick and some guests were pleased with the variety available within the fixed menu. Although a few reviewers mentioned the limited variety and did not recommend the half board option, others found the dinners to be quite good and a pleasant surprise considering the overall package.
Hotel Palacio de Asturias offers rooms that guests commonly describe as spacious and clean. The bathrooms are also noted for their size and cleanliness. Each room generally provides basic amenities including a television, small fridge and private bathroom. Many guests appreciated the comfort and generous size of their accommodations with some rooms offering great views of Oviedo.
However, there are several areas of concern. Some rooms feature low or sloped ceilings, potentially uncomfortable for taller guests and a lack of windows or only a Velux window, which can make them feel claustrophobic. Other recurring issues include outdated furnishings, tattered curtains, thin pillows and in some cases, uncomfortable beds and old towels. While many rooms are clean, some reports mentioned dirty showers and unpleasant smells.
Overall, Hotel Palacio de Asturias provides spacious, adequately equipped rooms at a reasonable price with some trade-offs in comfort and modernity.
The bed situation at Hotel Palacio de Asturias is quite mixed. While some guests have found the beds comfortable, a significant number of reviews point to issues. Many guests noted that the mattresses and pillows are old, worn out and quite uncomfortable. Complaints about thin pillows and hard or very low beds are common. Some of the rooms have beds on wheels and in many cases, double beds are simply two single beds pushed together. These beds often do not anchor to the floor, which can be inconvenient. The spring mattresses in several rooms are described as very uncomfortable, making sleeping a less than enjoyable experience. Improvements in mattress and pillow quality could significantly enhance guest comfort.
Hotel Palacio de Asturias presents a mixed picture regarding cleanliness based on guest reviews. Positively, many guests praised the hotel for being very clean, highlighting the overall cleanliness of their rooms and the hotel. Clean bathrooms, newly renovated facilities and clean room conditions were frequently mentioned along with the added benefit of parking. The tidiness maintained by the daily cleaning service was also commended.
However, numerous reviews pointed out significant issues. Some guests found dirty rooms, unclean beds and insufficient bathroom sterilization. Instances of dirt behind beds, bugs and food remnants were reported, alongside dirty reception areas and exteriors. There were complaints about cleaning practices with some guests noting that rooms were only superficially tidied. The mention of outdated and worn-out towels and moisture stains on walls further detracted from a uniformly clean experience.
In summary, while many guests enjoyed a clean and pleasant stay at Hotel Palacio de Asturias, there's considerable feedback indicating inconsistencies in cleanliness standards.
The reviews regarding the staff of Hotel Palacio de Asturias present a mixed picture with a considerable emphasis on less favorable interactions. While there are some mentions of friendly, polite and attentive staff members, particularly noting that they take requests into account and offer solutions, much of the feedback points to a lack of friendliness and professionalism. Several guests described the reception staff as unfriendly, rude and even unpleasant, sometimes failing to respond to greetings. There's a specific mention of an older gentleman who was notably unhelpful. Some reviewers noted that the same person who handled reception also managed the bar and restaurant, which may have affected their service quality. Despite a few nods to polite and helpful staff members, the overall consensus suggests that the customer service experience at this hotel leaves much to be desired.
Hotel Palacio de Asturias offers a standout feature that travelers will appreciate: its extensive and complimentary parking facilities. Guests have consistently highlighted the convenience and abundance of the parking spaces provided. The lot is described as spacious, making it easy for visitors to find a spot right in front of the entrance, which significantly eases the check-in process.
The free parking is particularly valued in the context of Oviedo, where finding parking downtown can be challenging and expensive. Having a private parking space at the hotel not only saves money but also adds to the overall convenience of staying at Palacio de Asturias.
Aside from functionality, the parking lot is large, private and often noted as a deciding factor for why guests chose this hotel. Additionally, the parking area is not just abundant but also very accessible, ensuring that guests can leave and return without hassle.
While the parking area is ample and often praised, it's worth noting one concern about the lighting with one review mentioning the lot being completely dark. However, this does not seem to significantly overshadow the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the parking experience.
Overall, the parking facilities at Hotel Palacio de Asturias are a significant plus, enhancing the stay by providing a practical and cost-effective solution for those traveling by car.
Hotel Palacio de Asturias has received mixed reviews with many guests highlighting significant discrepancies with its three-star rating. Several visitors noted that the accommodations fell short of typical three-star standards, often describing the property as closer to a rundown hostel or a basic shelter rather than a reputable hotel. Complaints mainly centered around broken room items and general discomfort with some guests arguing that the hotel deserves a lower star rating.
Despite these criticisms, there were positive remarks regarding pricing. A number of guests found the hotel to offer good value for money with a perfect price-quality ratio, particularly for those seeking budget accommodations. However, others felt that the price, especially during high season, did not justify the level of comfort and amenities provided. Overall, while some appreciated the affordability, the consensus indicated that the facilities and services need substantial improvements to meet the expectations set by its three-star classification.
