Hotel La Balsa

This hotel is fabulous. Charming, cozy, quiet, and surrounded by some of Spains most beautiful landscape. There's also several delicious restaurants within walking distance. I followed the host's advice and had my best meal of my whole trip at the little yellow restaurant at the end of the street. 10/10 hotel. If you're on the fence, BOOK IT! Go see the three lakes of Covadonga and the beautiful famous cathedral.

Everything was perfect. The room was beautiful and clean, but still had a charming rustic feel.

Excellent price/quality ratio. Breakfast was simple but good. Room was clean with excellent soundproofing given the distance between the road and the hotel. The host was very polite, and parking was available either straight next to the hotel or at another one of their hotel nearby.

The bed was a bit too soft for my liking. Nothing else other than that.

Clean, comfortable and well located. Excellent breakfast.

I loved everything about this place! Nice decor, inviting reception, cozy and clean rooms, quiet location and amazing, helpful staff.

Hard to think of anything I didn't like. Just wish I had more time there and to return, one day.

Charming inn asturiano with duper comfortable beds and outstanding breakfast. Our host gave us the best recommendations on where to eat and how to get to the Lagos de Covadonga. Superb service.

Shower water pressure was little weak but good enough.

Our last four nights of a two week motorcycle tour of Northern Spain were spent at the Hotel La Balsa. The rooms were comfortable, but the bathrooms were a little on the small size, although this did not detract from our overall experience.The staff were pleasant, attentive to our needs and very helpful.Breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice, and whilst there was no evening meal available at the hotel, there were several restaurants within easy walking distance.I would happily recommend this hotel to other travellers. Thank you...

All good...

At first we were a little confused thinking we’d booked a hotel of the same name in Cangas de Onis but actually this place was great! Fantastic location for Covadonga and Cangas de Onis; really quiet, lovely staff, great breakfast, plenty of parking spaces and a great restaurant a few hundred yards away.

Very friendly staff from the start.Clean and comfortable and full of characterFantastic breakfast!Great value

Nothinng

What an amazing hotel / house! Very nicely and authentically decorated rooms and common spaces. Comfortable bed. The owner is very welcoming and offering recommendations. Tasty breakfast including scrambled eggs. Quiet rooms but earplugs are also provided for light sleepers (the hotel is located by a road).

Perfect stay, very impressive and charming interior, the breakfast room was amazing and the breakfast itself very rich and tasty-we loved it!Yes it’s next to the street but you have a beautiful view nevertheless and in our eyes not relevant since eveybody who books it can see the location … and we could sleep with an open window because there was very few traffic during the night. We also appreciated the safe storage for our bicycles ?

Great place to stay while visiting Covadonga. Comfy beds, welcoming hosts, tasty breakfast.

Nice quiet hotel 5 min by car to the small lovely town of Cangas de Onis, and on the road to Covadonga sanctuary and lakes. This area of Asturias is really beautiful, so much greenery around! Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. The owner also makes homemade cakes, and I was able to try one of his pastels de calabacin, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so welcoming ?

The breakfast was fantastic and the staff are really helpful. We really enjoyed our time there. If you are planning a visit to Covadonga the hotel is ideally located.

A cozy hotel in the perfect spot to explore picos de Europa. It was not only very comfortable, clean but also it had a great ambience. In addition breakfast was very good and the stuff very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend it!

A charming family-run hotel is conveniently located between Cangas de Onís and Covadonga, making it perfect to reach both places within a 10-minute drive.Very clean with a lot of attention to the small details that make this hotel comfortableThe owner speaks fluent English and is exceptionally friendly: recommended a restaurant for us.We like breakfast, that is served in a beautifully designed room and includes fresh juice, eggs, ham, salami, bread, pate, jam, and a homemade family cake.

The location was great, close to the lakes and to some restaurants in the area.

The isolation from the other rooms is very poor so you can hear everything going on next door, water pressure and heat wasn’t very good..

Friendly helpful staff, pretty location

Not many local food options

Great hosts, lovely lobby, parking, location
