Velilla del Rio Carrion Hotels

"Hotel is all it claims to be. Staff were lovely and the food good."

"Amenities not as described on website. No drinking glasses or tissues in the room, uncomfortable room temperature with no control, cheap uncomfortable mattress, had to make a long distance phone call just to get in the door to check in, unfriendly staff, front desk never staffed. “Not my problem, call Expedia.”"

"Staff very very helpful and friendly "

"Very good value and clean. Could not pick a better hotel in Potes."

"Great"

"Loved everything about this rural hotel. The drive to it was spectacular, the views from it are breathtaking, breakfast and dinner were both excellent and the young hosts were amazing."

"The setting was spectacular, we had good weather and an excellent clear view of the surrounding mountains from the terrace and our balcony. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and kind and the breakfast spread was on a par with other paradors we had visited. Yes the floors are creaky and plumbing is ancient but we loved being there and the Parador is due to close shortly for major renovation. "

"Beautiful views -staff were superb. Very clean room. Only thing was no air-con but a fan was supplied and the room cooled way down at night anyway."

"This is an excellent property in the Picos de Europa park. The best reason to book this hotel are the hot springs. You get one 40 minute session per night which is very relaxing after a day of hiking. These are natural hot springs flowing from the outside, with many different water massage areas, as well as a sauna, steam room, onsen, whirlpool and cold rinsing pool. They also have along outdoor pool if you want to swim. The second reason is the location. You are between Fuente De and Poncebos. There is no better location to reach each of these in 1 hour, plus Potes, Sotres and Bulnes. Covadonga lakes are another 30 min, but beware private cars cannot go to Covadonga. You need to leave your car at a parking lot and they have taxis to take you the rest of the way. Besides location and hot springs, the hotel is very good, comfortable bed, excellent staff and great breakfast. They don’t have a coffee/tea kettle in the room. You need to buy that at the bar, but the waiter brought it all the way to my room. I would only say that they need to completely renovate the bathrooms, they are very old"
