Spa Hotels in Gijon

I had a terrible experience in this so-called three stars hotel, the worst I ever had while travelling. Leaving aside the smell of the curtains, the humidity, the noise from outside, no reception at night, and other details, I want to tell you what happened to me there. I came to Europe for five weeks to visit different countries. A couple of cities with friends and others on my own, which was the case in Gijón. I had made a two-night reservation in Alda Pasaje but ended up leaving early because of what I would describe as a traumatic event. On the morning of the 20th, I was awakened by a knocking on my door. When I asked who it was, they answered me ”police”. Not understanding, I asked what happened and they told me to open the door unkindly. The door had no peephole so I couldn't see who was outside. When I opened the door, I found two men in private clothes, one of whom can only be identified with a badge. They asked me for my document and I gave them my passport. They asked me several questions about when and how I arrived in Spain, both checking the stamps on my passport. I asked them what happened but they didn't give me any explanation. Seeing that what I answered matched the seals, they left. It was a very unpleasant situation, I was alone and I didn't really know if they were the police or what was going on. No one from the hotel went up with them. When I went down to reception to ask for an explanation, the woman there downplayed it, telling me that it was normal for that to happen. I have travelled through Europe before and this is the third time I have come to Spain, and I have never experienced a similar situation, nor do I know anyone who has experienced something similar. I was so traumatized that I was not able to complete my stay. I didn’t feel safe there anymore. The hotel did not refund me anything, they did not even apologize. In fact, the lady acted offended and didn't even look at me when checking out. I believe that this hotel is not up to the standards of a three stars hotel. In this world, if you are a woman on your own 10.000 kms away from home, you can understand how scary can be that two men show up at your door without notice, without uniform and with no reason to be there, asking questions and not answering any. There are better places to stay than this one for sure, DO NOT STAY THERE!

We chose Gijon at random, just because it was halfway between two other towns we were visiting, and we were very glad we did, it’s charming. What made the two night stay even better was this wonderful hotel. We had a junior suite, which was huge and extremely comfortable, the staff are lovely and it’s very well located. We thoroughly recommend El Moderne.

In the central area of the city center of Xihong, the quaint hotel has a sense of history, the room is very clean and comfortable. Downstairs is adjacent to **, commercial street, dining, theater, church. Very good experience.

The reception and the lifts are small. The guests who had room looking at the sea thought they were opaque glasses and they were seen naked, people who passed by commented and laughed, should tell the guests. The rooms and bathrooms are large but little gift in the room. The bathroom has a pad that does not have to do with the floor, but as a old bathroom, it is thankful for the quality of materials, size and large bathroom.

All in all, we found this hotel to be impressive, all rooms are clean, tidy, beautiful and correct, the hotel is well located about 15m from the old town. For ”but”, I will introduce the following. When arriving at the reception, the girl who attended our meeting (by the way, very beautiful) explained that if we want to eat breakfast and enjoy a 9 euro discount, then we can hire him the day before because it is 18 euros. In general, we went out for dinner and then returned to the hotel. The next day we wanted to rent breakfast. To our surprise, the boy at the reception told us that in order to benefit from this offer, we must We hired him during our stay and he gave us so angry that we didn't do it because it was not what they told us in the first place. But on the Sunday before leaving, there was another girl at the reception. In order to confirm the true version, we told her what happened and confirmed the version of her first companion. She asked us a thousand apologies. The facts are facts. There is nothing we can do. Could not have breakfast.

We had a wonderful one week stay at NH Gijon. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Henar on Reception and Ermis in the Breakfast bar. The hotel has great facilities with the roof top pool, a bar and restaurant and THE most delicious breakfast selection. The room was very comfortable and clean and the bathroom was generously stocked with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. It's ideally located for the beach, a beautiful park and the town. I would recommend it to everyone.

The hotel is very nice and modern. The staff is excellent. Breakfast is good. Parking is free and on site. Only 20 minutes on foot to main center. Bus and taxi also available. My biggest issue is the air conditioner is turned off and our room was a sauna. I do not understand why the hotels in Spain turn off their air conditioners in March. You cannot leave the window open because of the noise and the lights. The sun was cooking our room at sunrise. The outside temp was in the high 40’s and 50’s but you wouldn’t know it in the hotbox room. Terrible disservice to their guests especially gold elite members. BEWARE OF HOTELS THAT HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING TURNED ON

Note: It displeases me to give a bad review but I question the legitimacy of anyone leaving a rating higher than 2 stars. If you think you would enjoy the pleasure of paying for the following then Hotel ABBA is the place for you!!! Revolving entry door that is broken and a safety hazard...see photos (main entry btw) Poor service at restaurant - may take your menu but not your order Worn, dingy, and dirty carpet in halls & rooms Small rooms Mildew/mold in bathroom A/C thermostat with knob that will not indicate or adjust temp Thumping club music/concert at midnight on Sunday that can be heard as you lay in bed trying to sleep...happened until 1am. Hotel manager that will not return calls/requests to discuss or remedy issues Front desk staff that are uninterested in doing their job

A hotel where you can hear what the front room thinks, what the top speaks and how the side-side people maintain lovely relationships with pyrotechnics...
