Hotel NH Gijón

Hotel has great underground parking, is also well located for the harbour/seafront. Modern hotel,rooms: very well presented and comfortable. We slept well the staff were excellent and we had a great breakfast. Great location doing northern Spain.

Fabulous stay .. friendly and helpful staff Clean, immaculate room, ex parking onsite. Highly recommended.

All fine. Perhaps in the reception better knowledge of the English language would be called for - though they understood Italian, so no problem for me. I like hotels that enable making a cup of tea or coffee in the hotel room, which then is a further proposal for an improvement.

Spent a long weekend here in late May 2023. We flew into Asturias airport and got the hourly bus service to the main Gijon bus station- from there it was a 30-minute walk to the hotel (though we discovered after a few days there are a number of local buses we could use). We checked in around 4:30pm and within five minutes of arriving were in our room. As with other NH Hotels we have stayed in it was clean and modern, and with an impressive bathroom. As we have experienced in other hotels in Spain there were no tea and coffee-making facilities in the room (does the country have a law against this?), but there was a fridge which we made use of. The hotel has a rooftop pool and terrace, and as the weather during our stay was good we tried to make use of it. However the door was locked and when we asked at reception were told if was out of season and it is only used in July and August. We were then rather surprised on the Sunday evening of our stay to see it was being used by a local political party for their election night party (Spain was holding regional elections during our time there). We were staying on room-only rate and were glad we did this. The hotel is located next to the Playa de San Lorenzo and as a result there are a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. Particular mention should be made of Cafeteria Biarritz where we had breakfast each day- great choice and very reasonable prices. During the stay we used Playa de San Lorenzo and also visited a couple of other beaches- Playa de Pennarubia which is about an hours walk away and Playa Serin which was a 20-minute bus ride. We also visited Oviedo by train- the station is on the other side of town to the hotel so to get there requires a bus or taxi. Generally we were pleased with our stay- it is not the most exciting place to stay but for a short visit to Gijon it is well located and offers a pleasant place to base yourself when visiting the city.

My experience at this Hotel was better than expected. An impeccable modern Hotel with exquisite cleanliness, in front to the sea, access to restaurants, supermarkets and all kind of shops around. Very glad with all the staff, specially Laura and Elena. Looking forward to being back soon.

Gijón in general does not appear to cater to tourists but rather to spaniards and businessmen and women. The amenities at this hotel were basic and lacking the type of service we have been used to expect from this chain. There is a bar and also a restaurant but unless you are willing to wait until 8 p.m. for the bar and 8.30 p.m. for the restaurant you are out of luck. Though well situated near the beach, very few restaurants and bars offer service from an pearlier time. Breakfast is OK but not the best through that is where the friendliest staff is to be found.
