Hotel Picos de Europa at Arenas de Cabrales is perfectly situated at the heart of this lovely mountain community. As we travelled by motorcycle we really appreciated the excellent gated parking at the side of the hotel. However, the thing that impressed the most was the outstanding welcome and friendliness we received from the hotel staff. Everyone, from receptionist to cleaning staff did their utmost to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The public rooms are beautifully kept and comfortable and the bedrooms provided a perfect relaxing location for quiet evenings

Absolutely nothing

Hotel is centrally located in the middle of Las Arenas. Great as a base for exploring the Picos. Beautiful large room, huge bed, very clean and comfortable. Wonderfully helpful lady at the reception desk who checked us in and was cheery and smiling every day! Lift to all floors and a pool!

Please provide 2 spare pillows for the room, only one is provided - it would save your hard working receptionists from being bothered by guests. Fresh water each day if you are staying for longer than one night would also be wonderful, the fabulous housekeeping team enter your room and make the bed etc each day so a fresh bottle of their filtered water would be a great addition. I would have also liked facilities on site to make hot drinks, unfortunately none were available so we had to get early morning coffees from the Panederie across the road which opened at 7am (thankfully!)

The location is perfect for exploring the Picos and the hotel is within walking distance of a number of bars and restaurants. It has a swimming pool with seating areas. There is a bar with comfortable seating. The room we had was spacious and comfortable. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful . Although they do speak English I was grateful they allowed me to practise speaking Spanish!

There was nothing we didn’t like and though air con would have been pleasant we managed to keep the room reasonably cool.

The breakfast was not included but we ate next door at the restaurant adjacent to the hotel and for 5 euros per person we got 2 eggs, ham, bread with butter and jams, and coffee….a superb value

Nothing. It was great!

Each receptionist that we met was really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious for myself and my daughter. Very clean, comfortable and everything we needed. Location is really good, right in the centre of Arenas. The hotel staff asked if we would like to leave our car or bag while we went to visit Bulnes after checkout. The staff at breakfast were super friendly and welcoming! And the breakfast was the perfect start to our day. Good options to choose from and really good value.

The room was clean, comfortable and a good size. It overlooked the river. The location was perfect as in the centre of the village/town. Breakfast was very good. Staff were really friendly.

The restaurant for evening dinner was not open, it had very good reviews according to Trip Advisor and going on the breakfast standards, I was looking forward to trying it. However. there are lots of eateries in the town. This is not a grumble. Just it would have been nice to try.

The location was ideal for exploring the Picos National Park (among others close to bus stop to Poncebos). Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was perfect, and was possible to eat breakfast in the garden. Lots of restaurants nearby. Really pleasant stay, we recommend it.

Unfortunately, they cut the grass with a noisy machine in the afternoon and then there was grass in the pool, so we couldn't swim. Which would be nice after trek. This is a idea for improvement - mow in the morning with a normal mower.

Super friendly staff great retreats can be done by yourself or with people the lounge area is amazing with loads of books That are available for you to pick up as well as board games easy to find lots of restaurants around the area

We were a little bit confused about hiking roots from the hotel, but that is more because we are not experienced hikers rather than anything to do with the hotel. I would suggest do your research before coming

Comfortable, clean room with a nice view. Nice terrace for having a drink from the bar at the end of the day. Helpful, friendly staff.

The breakfast service was desperately understaffed. The only waitress was doing a good job, she just couldn't be everywhere at once. Coffee arrived when we were almost done with our meal (I'd been hoping to sip on it while we waited for our food). Hire more servers!

In June I spent a week in this hotel with my husband on a hill walking trip to the Picos. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. Our room was very nice and spacious overlooking the river with great views of the Picos. There is a great pool area which we used on days when we weren’t out and about. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Martha who was so warm and kind and treated us to a nightcap for our wedding anniversary. There is a really nice relaxing lounge area which includes a bar area and also serves coffee. An outdoor area, off this lounge area, is also perfect for chilling and listening to the babbling stream with great views of the Picos.

We had breakfast one morning during our stay and found the food to be of good quality and at a very reasonable price - about €6 each. However, the dining room has a very empty feeling as the breakfast settings were not set until you arrived so the room did feel very uninviting. While the pool is great, the area would benefit from additional sun loungers and some shading.
