“El hostal muy limpio. Sábanas buenas y con buen olor. Baño completo. Había una nevera para uso comunitario de los huéspedes y agua fria. Tuve un problema con booking que me anuló unilateralmente la reserva y la chica/dueña me lo solucionó. Por lo menos pude dormir esa noche. Ubicación en la zona del pueblo con sitios para aparcar. Desayunamos muy bien en el bar de abajo.”

“Hostal sin mayores pretensiones, que ofrece unas habitaciones limpias,con WC y TV. Por poner un pero que me consta que pueden solucionar, es comentar a las personas que cierren el bar de debajo, que tuvieran un poco más de tacto al bajar la persiana .”

“Pues después de 6 semanas solo tengo cosas buenas que decir. He tenido que pasar una larga estancia por estudios y la verdad que no he podido estar mejor. Relación calidad precio buena. El trato muy amable con la responsable y Lili, que es la persona que se encarga del cuidado de las habitaciones, un encanto, siempre dispuesta a atenderte. Por lo demás y lo que le puede interesar al cliente que venga, habitaciones limpias y bien cuidadas, te das cuenta nada más entrar por el olor que te viene. La verdad es que no hay ni polvo. Te cambian toallas todos los días, te hacen la habitación, tienes un baño propio y aire acondicionado. Yo duermo como un tiro, así que no soy muy buena referencia, pero no he tenido ningún problema con ruidos o jaleos. Todas las tardes estaba estudiando en la habitación y cero molestias, muy tranquilo. Por poner algún pero la antena de la tele que no va muy fina y se pierde la señal por momentos...pero vaya que tampoco la he utilizado mucho. No tengo dudas, si me toca hacer otro curso en el futuro esta será mi primera opción. P.D: en el asturiano de debajo se come genial y a un precio normal. Comida casera y bien elaborada (Probad la fabada si teneis suerte que está de muerte)”

“Hostal sencillo, pero súper limpio y confortable. La persona que nos recibió muy agradable. Debajo de hostal hay una cafetería donde que se come y almuerza súper bien con los mejores precios de todo el pueblo. Sin duda totalmente recomendable!! De hecho la semana que viene tenemos que volver y hemos vuelto a reservar en el mismo sitio.”
