The hostal was better than what we expected. Even if the personnel does not speak English we manage to understand and they helped with directions and map for our hike 😁The rooms and bathroom were really clean ( even the shared ones), and food was tasty.

Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos.
Poncebos is a great starting point for treks in los Picos. The funicular train up to Bulnes is here as is the path that goes up to Bulnes. You can also start the Cares gorge walk here. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Spain and accessible to all ages.
This hostel has an excellent location for hiking. The roads are packed with cars, so it's nice to wake up and already be near the trails. It is very comfortable with great rooms and beds. Bathrooms are shared, but there are plenty and they are very clean and spacious. Breakfast is provided and the restaurant serves lunches, tapas and dinner as well. There are buses scheduled from Arenas de Cabrales to Poncebos; the bus stop is a 5-10 min walk from the hostel depending on how much luggage you are carrying.
best location we could find for the starting/end point of the Ruta de Cares. breakfast and dinner were available on site, and they had a cute bar. this was key, since you would have to drive to get to a restaurant. safe parking was included in price. we parked close to the trailhead and did the hike. my friend and i split up, which was no problem logistically, since i was able to walk back to the hotel, and did not need the car to get there.
The location of this property was amazing…just a very short walk to the Bulnes funicular. Property is dated but just fine. Owner was very friendly and breakfast was good (freshly baked croissants with pressed orange juice). Free parking on road in front of hotel. For anyone with mobility issues, there are no rooms available at ground level, up a flight of stairs to reception and then up again to rooms.
Wonderful, friendly host who was available at anytime, serving both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The restaurant was a relaxed and friendly place to eat, with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The location is fantastic, right beside the Cares Gorge and the funicular that takes you to Bulnes. The hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk in the mountains.
Perfect place for a hiking trip in Poncebos. Many trails start near the hostel, including the famous Ruta del Cares (the Cares Trail).
Also, the cable car to Bulnes is close (you could also do the hike as I did). The breakfast is good, not extraordinary. Worth the price. Very convenient parking in front. Good staff.
Beautiful view from the restaurant.

It was perfect for what we were doing - using it as a base for a couple of nights to go walking from. It was good value for money and the staff were super friendly. There’s a nice comfortable lounge for relaxing in and as the hotel is on a dead end road it was great to sit out and eat and drink after a days walking in disturbed with a fab view.
Splendid value, and great location. The owner was very nice and talkative, and advised us throughout our stay. The breakfast was nice and plentiful. The hotel has a small car park, but even if that's full, there was always some parking place to be found on the street, even in August (but depending on the hour, of course).
A wonderful place to stay for hiking the beautiful trails to Bulnes and Ruta del Cares. The rooms are clean, food is very good. You get a lot for a good price including a bottle of wine. I wonder why it is called a hostal, because actually it is a hotel. I really recommend this place.
The family who runs this small low-key hotel are wonderful. The rooms are small and simple, but the location is perfect for parking and day hiking and the hosts very warm. We also enjoyed the lunch of the day which was a great deal.
We keep coming back to Hotel Garganta since our first visit there in 2016, and that tells it all! It's like our second home. Can't wait to come back there next year again! Sending much love to Irene, Paco and Flippi!
The hotel is well situated in Poncebos at the start of the hiking trails. It's possible to leave the car. The hotel is really clean and the staff is very nice. The food is good and inexpensive.
Lovely clean and comfortable budget hotel. Staff very friendly. The menu del dia at 15 euros was a great deal, great local comfort food at the end of a long days hike.
