perfect location for hiking the ruta del cares (there are other two hikes that start near the hotel).
the bed was comfortable. everything was very clean. we had a nice view from the room. decent wifi. the shower had a good pressure and hot water. everything is very simple and old bur great value for money.
breakfast was plentiful, but mostly bread. you will get toast, cheese and pastries (2 pieces per person of each), coffee / tea, orange juice and some packed sweet breads. restaurant is good.

Location is exceptional. The place is clean, confortable, staff is nice, food is good, and a lot of possibilities to hike.
The hostal was better than what we expected. Even if the personnel does not speak English we manage to understand and they helped with directions and map for our hike 😁The rooms and bathroom were really clean ( even the shared ones), and food was tasty.

Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos.
Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos. The funicular train up to Bulnes is here as is the path that goes up to Bulnes. You can also start the Cares gorge walk here. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Spain and accessible to all ages.
This hostel has an excellent location for hiking. The roads are packed with cars, so it's nice to wake up and already be near the trails. It is very comfortable with great rooms and beds. Bathrooms are shared, but there are plenty and they are very clean and spacious. Breakfast is provided and the restaurant serves lunches, tapas and dinner as well. There are buses scheduled from Arenas de Cabrales to Poncebos; the bus stop is a 5-10 min walk from the hostel depending on how much luggage you are carrying.
best location we could find for the starting/end point of the Ruta de Cares. breakfast and dinner were available on site, and they had a cute bar. this was key, since you would have to drive to get to a restaurant. safe parking was included in price. we parked close to the trailhead and did the hike. my friend and i split up, which was no problem logistically, since i was able to walk back to the hotel, and did not need the car to get there.
The location was superb, just below the start of the outstanding Ruta de Carres, in a winding valley with towering cliffs of limestone and the river rushing below. Ideal for exploring this amazing area.
Room was simple and comfortable, a spacious hotel lounge with a restaurant, bar and outdoor activities shop.
The star however was Manolo, the effervescent, warm and generous host for whom nothing was too much trouble.
The location of this property was amazing…just a very short walk to the Bulnes funicular. Property is dated but just fine. Owner was very friendly and breakfast was good (freshly baked croissants with pressed orange juice). Free parking on road in front of hotel. For anyone with mobility issues, there are no rooms available at ground level, up a flight of stairs to reception and then up again to rooms.
We chose this hotel because it’s located right at the beginning of Ruta Del Cares, and it was a smart move :) generally there’s nothing much to say: it’s one of those old hotels with amazing mountain views and incredibly nice and friendly staff. It’s very basic, but it’s all you need in the mountains - a bed, hot water and some breakfast. I am not sure if Poncebo offers anything better at this point
Wonderful, friendly host who was available at anytime, serving both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The restaurant was a relaxed and friendly place to eat, with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The location is fantastic, right beside the Cares Gorge and the funicular that takes you to Bulnes. The hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk in the mountains.
The location for hiking the trails is perfect, the setting for the hotel breath taking.
The property is called a hostal but we found it more like a 3 star hotel with our on suite room.
The staff were amazing, the food local and so fresh and amazing value, I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.
The location was perfect for exploring some of the most beautiful parts of the Pico de Europa park. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was great and the dinner set menu was excellent value. The room was comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this hotel for the price and location.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly located to do the Ruta del Cares. We did the ruta from here to Cain and back and had a nice, well priced meal in the hotel restaurant when we got back. Altogether a very pleasent stay and great value for money.
The family who runs this small low-key hotel are wonderful. The rooms are small and simple, but the location is perfect for parking and day hiking and the hosts very warm. We also enjoyed the lunch of the day which was a great deal.
Very helpful staff. Good value meals during the day and in the evening. The room was cleaned every day. It is a hostal and not a hotel. What you get is clean good value rooms and food served by helpful staff
The hotel is well situated in Poncebos at the start of the hiking trails. It's possible to leave the car. The hotel is really clean and the staff is very nice. The food is good and inexpensive.
