There could be a reading lamp, as the ceiling light is not very good for that.

The hotel is a charming old building. The service was excellent. The breakfast was served to table and was great. There was parking space.

The size of the hotel and most of all its "personality" made of stone, wood and furniture with an antique flair. The owner is super kind and helpful without being intrusive. Even if the hotel is on the street by night is very quite because almost no car pass by. Breakfast was great, with a wide selection including homemade treats.

Can’t say there was a single thing i didn’t like

The service was incredible! We we’re arriving a little after the closing down of reception, and the host was willing to stay and get us in. The breakfast was incredible. I couldn’t recommend this place enough

Shower water pressure was little weak but good enough.

Charming inn asturiano with duper comfortable beds and outstanding breakfast. Our host gave us the best recommendations on where to eat and how to get to the Lagos de Covadonga. Superb service.

Hard to think of anything I didn't like. Just wish I had more time there and to return, one day.

I loved everything about this place! Nice decor, inviting reception, cozy and clean rooms, quiet location and amazing, helpful staff.

All good...

Our last four nights of a two week motorcycle tour of Northern Spain were spent at the Hotel La Balsa. The rooms were comfortable, but the bathrooms were a little on the small size, although this did not detract from our overall experience. The staff were pleasant, attentive to our needs and very helpful. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice, and whilst there was no evening meal available at the hotel, there were several restaurants within easy walking distance. I would happily recommend this hotel to other travellers. Thank you...

At first we were a little confused thinking we’d booked a hotel of the same name in Cangas de Onis but actually this place was great! Fantastic location for Covadonga and Cangas de Onis; really quiet, lovely staff, great breakfast, plenty of parking spaces and a great restaurant a few hundred yards away.

What an amazing hotel / house! Very nicely and authentically decorated rooms and common spaces. Comfortable bed. The owner is very welcoming and offering recommendations. Tasty breakfast including scrambled eggs. Quiet rooms but earplugs are also provided for light sleepers (the hotel is located by a road).

Perfect stay, very impressive and charming interior, the breakfast room was amazing and the breakfast itself very rich and tasty-we loved it! Yes it’s next to the street but you have a beautiful view nevertheless and in our eyes not relevant since eveybody who books it can see the location … and we could sleep with an open window because there was very few traffic during the night. We also appreciated the safe storage for our bicycles 👍

Nice quiet hotel 5 min by car to the small lovely town of Cangas de Onis, and on the road to Covadonga sanctuary and lakes. This area of Asturias is really beautiful, so much greenery around! Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. The owner also makes homemade cakes, and I was able to try one of his pastels de calabacin, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so welcoming 😀

A charming family-run hotel is conveniently located between Cangas de Onís and Covadonga, making it perfect to reach both places within a 10-minute drive. Very clean with a lot of attention to the small details that make this hotel comfortable The owner speaks fluent English and is exceptionally friendly: recommended a restaurant for us. We like breakfast, that is served in a beautifully designed room and includes fresh juice, eggs, ham, salami, bread, pate, jam, and a homemade family cake.
