Hotel 40 Nudos
Harbourside rooms 100 metres from Plaza España
About this hotel
Hotel 40 Nudos keeps things simple and functional, spacious rooms with a safe, minibar and satellite TV rather than design flourishes, and puts that straightforwardness right in the historic centre, 100 metres from the harbour and Plaza España. The Óscar Niemeyer Cultural Centre is a 20-minute walk, and the beaches of the Costa Verde, the Green Coast, are within a short drive, including Salinas Beach just 5 km away. A home-made breakfast is served daily in the cafeteria, and the 24-hour front desk arranges car rental and local information, useful for day trips beyond Avilés itself. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, and each private bathroom comes with basic toiletries. Guests routinely single out the harbourside address as the property's biggest single advantage over hotels further from the water.
- Historic centre location
- Safe and minibar in every room
- 24-hour front desk
- Car rental at reception
Our take
This suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-located base, right on the harbour and Plaza España, without paying for period architecture or extra amenities. Couples rate it especially highly for short stays. Anyone chasing boutique styling or a full spa should look toward the city's converted palace or aparthotel options instead, since the appeal here is location and value over design.
- ✓Ask reception about car rental early if you're planning a Green Coast beach day, availability can be limited.
- ✓Walk down to the harbour before breakfast, it's just 100 metres and quiet in the early morning.
- ✓Book the home-made breakfast the night before if the hotel is busy, it's a genuine local touch.

Why guests love itThe location does most of the work here: 100 metres from the harbour and Plaza España means evenings out don't require a car, and the home-made breakfast in the cafeteria is a genuinely nice start to the day. Rooms are simple but properly spacious, useful with extra luggage or a stroller. The 20-minute walk to the Niemeyer Centre suits older kids but needs planning for very young ones. Salinas Beach, five kilometres out, is an easy add-on with a rental car.
