Oca Villa de Avilés Hotel
Parkside rooms two minutes from the old centre
About this hotel
Set beside Las Meanas park, Oca Villa de Avilés Hotel trades the tightest Old Town streets for a little more room to breathe, while keeping the historic and commercial centre a two-minute walk away. The 71 rooms lean modern and functional rather than period-styled, with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi throughout and family rooms for those travelling with children. A fitness centre, a café and an à la carte restaurant cover most needs without leaving the building, and three modular meeting rooms with natural light bring in business travellers alongside families and couples. A golf course within 3 km and pet-friendly rooms round out a property built for comfort over character, roughly 12 km from Asturias Airport for those flying in.

Our take
This suits families who want space, a fitness centre and family rooms without giving up a short walk into the old centre, and it works equally well for business travellers using the meeting rooms. Couples rate the location well for short breaks too. Anyone chasing period architecture or a boutique feel should look to the city's converted palace hotels instead, since the appeal here is modern comfort and practical facilities rather than historic character.
- ✓Use the two-minute walk into the old centre for dinner rather than eating in every night.
- ✓Book a family room early if you're traveling with kids, since they're a defined, limited category here.
- ✓Check the golf course within 3 km if you're combining a stay with a round, some hotels don't offer that.

Why guests love itThis is a practical choice for a family stay: the rooms are modern and comfortable rather than characterful, but the fitness centre, family rooms and nearby park give children room to burn off energy between old-town outings. The two-minute walk into the historic centre means dinners out don't require a car, and the on-site restaurant and café cover easier evenings. Guests who want a hotel with real period charm should look elsewhere, but for straightforward comfort near Las Meanas park, it delivers.
