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.
If you are planning to make a hike from Poncebos or just enjoy the beautiful mountains, this place is the best for your stay!
We hiked to Uriellu and returned tired to the very warm welcome and comfortable quiet place where we could rest and recover. And our car was in a safe place during our trip. And the dinner after the hike was amazing! Especially I recommend homemade cheesecake - it is not like ordinary cheesecakes and is 100 times tastier.
The Host is very friendly and attentive.
Superb location and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Parking directly in front of property. We had room with own bath/shower and the water was super hot and pressure great. Food in the evening, although basic, was plentiful and tasty. Breakfast was more than adequate before setting out on one of the numerous walks which start/end in Poncebos. For a Hostel, this makes a great stay and good value for money.
The last hotel before the Ruta des Cares walk begins so it's very convenient. Hotel has own reserved parking. Very important if it's a busy day and you arrive after 11am and no street parking available. Nice bar area and superb egg bacon and chips after the long gorge walk which is truly spectacular and not to be missed. Friendly staff. Great mountain view from our room overlooking the road. Comfy bed.
Great location for the stunning Ruta del Cares dayhike. The hotel has parkingspace and it’s a 8 minute walk to the trailhead. The hotel has an oldfashioned vibe that I personally like in the mountains but it does feel a tad dated. Bed and bathroom both sufficient but no great luxury. Breakfast good. Convenient and comfy stay for hiking. The owner is very nice.
Splendid value, and great location. The owner was very nice and talkative, and advised us throughout our stay. The breakfast was nice and plentiful. The hotel has a small car park, but even if that's full, there was always some parking place to be found on the street, even in August (but depending on the hour, of course).
If you're planning to hike the Ruta de Cares, this is the perfect spot to stay. Nestled in the river gorge just steps from the trailhead. You may see cattle being herded up the road in front of the hotel. Food in the restaurant is reasonably good and well priced. Attentive housekeeping staff.
A wonderful place to stay for hiking the beautiful trails to Bulnes and Ruta del Cares. The rooms are clean, food is very good. You get a lot for a good price including a bottle of wine. I wonder why it is called a hostal, because actually it is a hotel. I really recommend this place.
Big breakfast (coffee, juice, toast and industrial pastries). Very nice staff. Perfect location for start hiking without worrying if you will get a parking slot for your car close to the beginning of the hiking routes. Simple but working hotel for our needs.
Very helpful staff. Very simple hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, on-site restaurant (with huge portions), and very friendly staff. Very close to the start of the Ruta de Cares - a 10-15 minute walk to the start or a 2 minute drive.
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.
Lovely clean and comfortable budget hotel. Staff very friendly. The menu del dia at 15 euros was a great deal, great local comfort food at the end of a long days hike.
