Tryp Rey Pelayo - Gijon, Spain     

Tryp Rey Pelayo is probably the best option in town. Official rates are quite high, but you can get a low rate in their website almost always. We have been there two times and we will stop there again if we visit Gijon in the future. Roms are very comfortably and big, with nice furniture and big bathrooms, perfectly equiped. The Lobby and the Cafeteria are also comfortable and nice and the staff is always very kind and polite. But the best thing in this hotels is its impressive breakfast. It is usually included in room rates, but if you do not have it, book it eithout a doubt. It is the best breakfast i have tried in a Spanish hotel: regional cheeses, anchovies, a lot of differents pastries, cakes and puddings, salads, sandwiches, eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, fruits, regional desserts, Spanish omelette, fresh fruit juices, wine, local cider and also champagne. It is not in the heart of the city, but it is in front of the park in a quiet area where you can find several cafes and tea tooms, 100 m. away from the stadium and at a walk distance (2 minutes) from the beach and a shopping and dining area (with lots of sidrerias, the local restaurants, italian restaurants and a mall). Downtown is 15 minutes away walking. A great place.
