Increíble hotel muy cerca de Covadonga y Cangas

El hotel está gestionado por una familia encantadora que hacen la estancia muy agradable y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar. Las habitaciones están muy limpias y son muy cómodas y el desayuno es exquisito. Está muy cerca de Covadonga y Cangas de Onís y dispone de garaje por lo que es ideal para visitar esta zona. Lo recomendaría sin dudarlo.

Acogedor, amabilidad y muy buen desayuno.

Bonito Local, solo que la habitación que da a la escalera, (de madera ) muy bonita pero todos los ruidos de los que suben y bajan se escuchan en la habitación Nº 1, la mía.La calefacción no se encendió por las mañana, por lo que el ducharse era cuestión de mucha voluntad. Por lo positivo, acogedor recibimiento, precioso comedor, muy buen desayuno incluido en el precio. Muy buena relación calidad precio.

Wonderful stay at La Balsa. Emilio and parents were gracious hosts. The best breakfasts of all our stays. Cold fresh fruit & melon, tomatoes, homemade Asturias cake, scrambled eggs or local ham/cheese. Storage of our bikes inside, room with view of creek, free parking available. Great WIFI too. Best value for a Cangas de Onís -Covodonga stay. Very convenient for our La Vuelta viewing.
