Hotel Hernán Cortés

A bit old-style hotel in a very good location. In fact we stayed for 2 nights and liked it a lot as also we booked at a very good price. Spacious room with TV, small fridge, air con, toilet and shower separated, two sinks, small table and armchair. Public Parking house opposite of the hotel (40% cheaper if you install the apk2 app, register your car number plate and drive in, without reservation and paper ticket).

It was quiet warm in the room as we could not turn off the heating and the air con was a little too weak to regulate the warmth.

This is a lovely old school hotel. The beds were very comfortable, the room was warm and despite it being the middle of winter, we could sleep with an open window. The bathroom is bright and well equipped with a bath and a shower as well as a private toilet. I mean, who doesn't want a private toilet? The staff are kind and helpful, speak very good English and even gave us a quick Spanish lesson as we were determined to try and speak Spanish, although most people we spoke to did in fact speak English. The area is fun to walk around in, there are lots of restaurants, cafes and interesting shops and the proximity to the beach and the old town is super. We could walk there in about 7 minutes. If you are coming in by car, there is parking a stone's throw away for €20 a day. We love Gijón and will likely visit again. We would definitely stay at this lovely hotel again.

The breakfast buffet was adequate but personally, there are really great breakfast places around the city. They did have fresh orange juice which is a winner and there were some fresh fruits which we were able to pop in our bag and take with us for the day.

A classic Spanish hotel that hasn’t lost it’s style. It retains the atmosphere of a bygone era whilst having perfect wifi, excellent air conditioning, digital tv etc. Its kept spotlessly clean. The marble, wood and brass fittings are kept so beautifully Polished, which is quite unusual in this day and age. Friendly, professional and well dressed receptionists add to the quality of the hotel. The breakfast was lovely, with my only negative comment being that the coffee was instant instead of being ground beans which let the breakfast down a little. Underground parking is only a minutes walk away. For sure we will be back.

As I said the coffee might have been better. Unfortunately the screen share has been blocked on a new Samsung tv (so sharing from an iPad etc is impossible) and changing the program spoken language to the original version has also been blocked which isn’t the best for foreigners. Just for when it’s raining outside..

Love this hotel. Have stayed there before and will stay there next time I'm in Gijón. Location is fantastic. Can get around very easily on foot and there is parking a few meters from the hotel.

I wish there would have been a kettle to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee, but I have noticed the many hotels in Spain don't have this option. Now I travel with a small travel kettle which solves the problem nicely. The breakfast was fine, but I would prefer to eat out in a local cafe or restaurant. Other than that, the hotel is great.

All is about location and location! In the city center, close to the bus station, near restaurants, shops. Walking distance to San Lorenzo Beach and tourist attractions. The hotel is very clean and peaceful, and the staff are very friendly and supportive. The rooms are comfortable and cleaned every day. Maybe some people found the hotel a little old-fashioned, but we think it is an old-school hotel with a charming ambiance.

A little bit hard mattress.

The breakfast were delicious with so much choice. All professionally prepared and presented by the ladies who clearly took such pride in their work. Also, and so important to mention, the reception staff were very helpful in many ways, particularly allowing us to store our bicycles on site. This made such as difference to us being able to access our cycles easily. It appeared nothing was too much trouble we were very grateful for everything.

Can’t think of anything particular, other than perhaps a kettle in the room. We English do like a cup of tea first thing in the morning.🙂

The location is very good, we chose it because it's close to the bus terminal for the bus to the airport. It's also very close to the city center and the beach. The breakfast was ok with different kinds of bread, cheese, ham, salami, fresh orange juice etc.

The room was on the 9th floor, and the WiFi was very slow and sometimes unusable. The hotel uses satellite for the TV and most programs don't have a signal, and in case of rain or a very cloudy day, the TV is not working.

The location was perfect. Seemed like a 10 minute walk to everywhere. Great restaurants, walk to the ocean and the port! The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The room was amazing! It was huge! Great, comfortable bed, fabulous, large bathroom area, lots of storage, even a small room when you walk into the room with a closet for coats. Felt like we could move in! The breakfast was one of the best! Beautiful dining room! We highly recommend the Hotel Hernan Cortes to all!

Lovely hotel in a central location. Room and bathroom were very spacious, very clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I had to leave before breakfast on both days of my stay but the staff very kindly made me a packed lunch to take away with me in the morning which was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

I can't think of anything that I didn't like.

I requested a quiet room on a high floor and this is what I was allocated. It was very peaceful. There was fresh fruit for breakfast and for once there was a good sized bath towel. The hotel was within walking distance of everything including the beaches.

The aircon did not work on the first night so the room was very hot but it was quickly fixed the next day after the fault was reported.
