Don Pedro
Stone-walled rooms in the old town near the Niemeyer Centre
About this hotel
Don Pedro leans into Avilés' old-town character rather than smoothing it over: stone walls and wooden floors run through a hotel that sits five minutes' walk from the Óscar Niemeyer Cultural Centre. Rooms are air-conditioned with satellite TV, free Wi-Fi and a free in-room safe, and some categories add a private balcony or a sofa bed for extra flexibility. The tour desk arranges car and bike hire directly, useful for exploring beyond the old town or reaching the coast, and a 24-hour front desk covers late arrivals without friction. Easy access to the A-8 motorway puts Gijón within a 27 km drive, making Don Pedro a workable base for day trips as well as a walkable old-town stay on its own.

- 24-hour front desk
Our take
This suits travellers who want the old town's character, stone walls and wooden floors included, without paying for a converted palace, and the tour desk's car and bike hire make it easy to range further afield. Couples score the location particularly well for short breaks. Those wanting brand-new fittings or a lift to every floor of a period building should check room details first, since rustic charm here comes with an older building's quirks.
- ✓Ask for a balcony room if you want fresh air over the old town's rooftops in the evening.
- ✓Use the tour desk to hire a bike rather than a car for a short trip to the harbour.
- ✓Book ahead for A-8 road trips to Gijón, 27 km away, since parking fills up on weekends.

Why guests love itThe rustic details, stone walls, wooden floors, an older building's real texture, make this feel more like a stay in Avilés than a stay in a generic hotel room, and the five-minute walk to the Niemeyer Centre keeps sightseeing simple. A balcony room adds real value here if it's available, giving somewhere to sit with a coffee over the old town before heading out. Travellers wanting sleek, modern interiors or full accessibility throughout should check specifics, since older buildings like this one aren't always uniform floor to floor.
