parking just in front of the hotel, quiet area despite being in walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. the best was being able to sit in the garden and read peacefully. check-in was super simple and no problem that I did my booking 30 minutes before arrival. room was spacious and had a great view with large windows. would come again!

The location of the hotel is great - the town is really lovely, with great restaurants and cafés.
The staff was friendly and the pool was refreshing about a day's hiking.
The tourist office is often closed and the hotel does not give out maps, so come prepared!

Comfy beds and large room and large bathroom! Mountain view outside our window. Very clean room and lobby as well.
The hostal was better than what we expected. Even if the personnel does not speak English we manage to understand and they helped with directions and map for our hike 😁The rooms and bathroom were really clean ( even the shared ones), and food was tasty.

Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos.
Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos. The funicular train up to Bulnes is here as is the path that goes up to Bulnes. You can also start the Cares gorge walk here. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Spain and accessible to all ages.
best location we could find for the starting/end point of the Ruta de Cares. breakfast and dinner were available on site, and they had a cute bar. this was key, since you would have to drive to get to a restaurant. safe parking was included in price. we parked close to the trailhead and did the hike. my friend and i split up, which was no problem logistically, since i was able to walk back to the hotel, and did not need the car to get there.
We chose this hotel because it’s located right at the beginning of Ruta Del Cares, and it was a smart move :) generally there’s nothing much to say: it’s one of those old hotels with amazing mountain views and incredibly nice and friendly staff. It’s very basic, but it’s all you need in the mountains - a bed, hot water and some breakfast. I am not sure if Poncebo offers anything better at this point
Wonderful, friendly host who was available at anytime, serving both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The restaurant was a relaxed and friendly place to eat, with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The location is fantastic, right beside the Cares Gorge and the funicular that takes you to Bulnes. The hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk in the mountains.
The hotel is close to the entrance of the Ruta del Cares, so for hikers it is perfect. The rooms are small, but OK. The local host, Manolo is extremely friendly and helpful. The local restaurant is fine. We had even glutene-free bread for breakfast. Sausage or cheese was not on the menu, but otherwise Manolo refilled our baskets and cups when we asked, so it was fine.
Perfect location for hiking from Poncebos. My room was comfortable with a good bed and shower. There is a car park for guests. Breakfast and dinner were ample and good value for money. You can walk directly from hotel to Cares and Bulnes hikes (and no doubt many others). Friendly, helpful staff (though you might need to use google translate!).
If you're planning to hike the Ruta de Cares, this is the perfect spot to stay. Nestled in the river gorge just steps from the trailhead. You may see cattle being herded up the road in front of the hotel. Food in the restaurant is reasonably good and well priced. Attentive housekeeping staff.
Very helpful staff. Very simple hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, on-site restaurant (with huge portions), and very friendly staff. Very close to the start of the Ruta de Cares - a 10-15 minute walk to the start or a 2 minute drive.
The family who runs this small low-key hotel are wonderful. The rooms are small and simple, but the location is perfect for parking and day hiking and the hosts very warm. We also enjoyed the lunch of the day which was a great deal.
Very helpful staff. Good value meals during the day and in the evening. The room was cleaned every day. It is a hostal and not a hotel. What you get is clean good value rooms and food served by helpful staff
Location of the hotel is perfect for la ruta del cares and others. Staff was super friendly, always kind and ready to help. Food was aammaaazing (and the cider!). I would be happy to go back there :)
The hotel is well situated in Poncebos at the start of the hiking trails. It's possible to leave the car. The hotel is really clean and the staff is very nice. The food is good and inexpensive.
It was the best day spent with a toddler. The soul rested and the heart rejoiced. Very nice and cozy hotel, clean and comfortable room, amazing location. I will definitely return.
The location was perfectly situated for hiking the ruta de cares, no need to drive. There was also 1 1/2 hr round trip hike right behind the hotel. A clean basic rustic hotel.
