Hotel el Horreo de Avilés
Family rooms with parquet floors near the monastery ruins
About this hotel
Hotel el Horreo de Avilés keeps its offer focused on family rooms, each with a private bathroom, shower, TV and parquet floors, backed by a lounge and a tour desk staffed by Spanish speakers. It's set a little further from the old-town core than some options, 2.6 km from the Teatro Armando Palacio Valdés and 3.2 km from Calle Galiana, with the Ruinas del Monasterio de Santa María 6 km away for a longer outing. Boating is available in the surroundings, an activity that doesn't come up at every Avilés property. Asturias Airport is roughly 17 km away. With a small but strongly rated set of reviews, guests consistently single out the attentive staff, clean rooms and overall comfort.

Our take
This suits families prioritising private bathrooms, parquet floors and a genuine family-room setup over a central old-town address, and boating nearby is a useful extra for an active day. Guests rate staff attentiveness and cleanliness particularly highly. Travellers wanting to walk straight into the old town from their room should factor in the 2.6 to 6 km distances to the main sights and pick a more central base instead.
- ✓Ask the Spanish-speaking staff at the tour desk about boating trips, it's a local option worth asking about directly.
- ✓Plan a car or taxi for the 6 km trip to the Monasterio de Santa María ruins rather than walking.
- ✓Book a family room specifically, since that's the property's clear strength over standard categories.

Why guests love itThe family rooms here are the real draw: private bathrooms, proper showers and parquet floors that hold up well to kids tracking in sand or mud from a day out. Staff at the tour desk, all Spanish-speaking, were genuinely helpful about arranging boating nearby, an unplanned highlight. Being 2.6 to 6 km from the main old-town sights means a car or short taxi is worth budgeting for, but the comfortable, well-run stay makes up for the distance.
