Hotel Nochendi

In the centre, looking onto the river

Nochendi is a three-star hotel in a new building at Calle Constantino González, 4, right in the centre of Cangas de Onís and very close to the bus station. According to its website it has 12 rooms, with interior design by Paz Ardines, and most look onto the river and the Sierra del Sueve, with views towards the Santa Cruz dolmen, the Contranquil plain and the Los Azules oak wood. Turismo Asturias lists it with 11 rooms and 21 beds, so if you need a particular room, confirm when you book.

Rooms and services

All rooms have free wifi, telephone, television, individual heating and a bathroom. One is adapted for people with reduced mobility and another is a family room, for four people. The hotel offers laundry service, a safe and information on the area; Turismo Asturias adds air conditioning, a lounge with television and reception service. As well as the hotel, the house rents the Nochendi Tourist Apartment.

The website says nothing about parking or pets: ask when you book, especially in summer, when parking in the centre of Cangas is difficult.

Prices and season

Turismo Asturias gives indicative prices of €64.80 to €118.80 a night, and the hotel's website advertises weekend offers from €65. It closes from 20 December to 3 February, according to the official sheet. Book on its website or on 985 849 513.

The house restaurant

The hotel's restaurant is El Molín de la Pedrera, a cider house with traditional Asturian cooking, which also prepares takeaway food. Its booking phone number is 985 849 109.

Why sleep here

If you are going to the Covadonga lakes in season, the bus to the lakes leaves from Cangas bus station, so sleeping in the centre saves you the car and an early start. And in the evening you can walk to dinner, cross the Roman bridge and, if it is Sunday, stroll through the market.

The hotel's website gives these distances: Arriondas 7 km, Covadonga 12 km, the Lakes 23 km, Ribadesella 24 km, Arenas de Cabrales 40 km, Llanes 48 km and Oviedo 72 km. It is a good base for combining the Covadonga sanctuary, the Sella descent and a beach day in Ribadesella. Without a car, you can get there from Oviedo by Alsa bus.
