Comments on: Parador Gijon http://www.paradores-spain.com/comments Blog about the accommodation in the luxury Spanish Parador Hotels Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:27:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Tony Martarella http://www.paradores-spain.com/comments/parador-gijon/comment-page-1#comment-28564 Tony Martarella Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:48:03 +0000 http://www.parapromotions-spain.com/blog/?page_id=316#comment-28564 My wife and I had the most delightful stay at Parador de Gijon on 15 Sept. Our room was spacious, the bed almost as comfortable as our own, and the staff could not be more helpful. The park setting that the parador is located in is just wonderful. Just a short distance (1.0 K) north is a long beach and boardwalk (great for a 5+ kilometer RT run), with great shops and lots of restaurants. The restaurant at the Parador de Gijon was superb; the complimentary breakfast was excellent, as was our dinner the evening before. I would go back to this parador, but next time I would stay a few extra nights. My wife and I had the most delightful stay at Parador de Gijon on 15 Sept.

But the people at the reception were very helpfull, the rooms are clean and quiet, we felt immidiatly at home. A special point is the restaurant wich is a little bit old fashioned, but they prepare an excellent dinner. the location is perfect to visit this beautifull town.

The staff was very cordial and helpful. The room was great (ask for one overlooking the park, not the parking lot_ and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful and the location is a short walk to the beach and the city. Also, if you are a soccer fan, the stadium is literally across the street. I'd go there again in a minute. Great place to stay. Loved the Parador of Gijon. The staff was very cordial and helpful. The room was great (ask for one overlooking the park, not the parking lot_ and the bed was comfortable.

Our rooms were great and we loved the novelty of being in the middle of Isabella Park. We could walk to the waterfront and even the old town. The staff was very helpful. The restaurant, however, was not up to the rest of the hotel. At dinner the dining room was nearly full with only two very hard-working women to wait on us all. SErvice was incredibly slow -- even to get a glass of wine when we sat down. At breakfast while the spread was large, we had a real sense of things being made for a crowd. Fortunately, we had a much better experience at other Paradors. The parador in Gijon is lovely. Our rooms were great and we loved the novelty of being in the middle of Isabella Park.

Front desk staff were very helpful. Rooms were nice. Breakfast very good except the staff was a bit slow. We didn't know about the option of sitting outside - would have been great. Parking is a problem when the parador is full and finding the parador a bit of a challenge. It's right next to the Gijon Sporting soccer stadium, which in September was undergoing construction, so it could be a bit noisy during the day. A good jumping off point to Lucarno, a delightful little town with a great beach. The Gijon parador was very nice. Front desk staff were very helpful. Rooms were nice.

We had trouble finding the parador, but the people at the parador were wonderful and guided us to a great location in the park. We also had car trouble and they were very helpful in correcting this problem. The room was great and very well equipped. We found the bar and restaurant wonderful, the help was so cheerful and hard working. We would definitely recommend this parador to everyone. We arrived at Gijon after a long drive from Madrid.

It is well situated for walking to the beach and the centre of the city even though its park setting is tranquil. From the moment we arrived until we left nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff. We loved the little garden where we relaxed after our long drive (great camparis!) and where we had an excellent extensive breakfast. We took advantage of the dining room in the evening which we already knew had a good reputation and even then we were very pleasantly surprised at how good was the food and service. The rooms and bathroom were spacious, perfect temperature, clean and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the numerous relaxing areas on every floor. The only problem was that we only stayed for one night. We will definitely stay there again if we are in Northern Spain. This was first class without doubt. Thank you.
