The hype
Travelers love the location but consistently complain about the noise and hit-or-miss housekeeping.
Hotel La Serrana
$60-120/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want to be dead-center in Avilés' historic zone and plan to stay out later than the nightclub downstairs.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Unbeatable location in the pedestrian historic center
- Walking distance to the Niemeyer Center and train station
- Spacious rooms that are often cheaper than nearby competitors
Kurzfassung: A functional, slightly dated sleep-station that trades quiet and polish for a prime address.
Bewertet von @Mezjh: I wasn't expecting this room to be so huge! The moment I stepped onto that terrace and saw the red rooftops of Avilés, I was sold. Plus, having a full-sized bathtub after exploring the old town was a total game-changer. Definitely book the terrace suite.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'modern' renovation feels sterile to some, and the cleanliness standards vary wildly from room to room.
- You prioritize location over luxury
- You are a heavy sleeper or night owl
- You are traveling with a pet (dogs allowed up to 30kg)
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
5.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily efficient service, others find dust and missed trash.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Reports of hairs in tubs, mold in grout, and dark/dated fixtures in some rooms.
- Maintenance: Visible wear and tear. Scuffed walls, peeling paint, and stained carpets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Functional but not luxe. Reports of stained sheets and thin towels appear in multiple reviews.
- Odors & scents: Generally neutral, though some rooms have a lingering stale or musty smell.
