El Môderne Hotel

Of the various hotels we stayed in on this particular trip, El Môderne was our favorite. I concur with some of the reviews I read before staying. A coffee/tea service in the room would have been nice, along with a small fridge. However, the staff and room comfort/design exceeded expectations and that made all the difference. A special mention to Pedro who checked us in and gave us recommendations, along with Veronica who checked us out. As well as Pat and Ruben in the bar. The level of service coupled with their friendliness made for a memorable stay. I highly recommend this property. We'll be back.

Good location Close to the historic center and attractions such as Santa Catalina Hill and restaurants. Staff OK Large room and beds with mattresses that were neither too hard nor too soft, and a good shower. I read other reviews: 1) They complain about the breakfast The breakfast was good, with a wide variety of cold cheeses, including local products, breads and fresh yogurt. Everything was very clean, even with tongs on the plates to pick up the products. In other words, the breakfast was great. 2) Noise The street below the window is pedestrianized and noisy. But the window offers soundproofing. There was noise from people talking on the street below, and all you had to do was close the window and the noise would disappear.

The front desk, bar, and breakfast staff were all professional and personable. I expected a good room and experience but had a great experience.

Comfortable and handy for the old town and harbour. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice big bed.

Comfortable and modern hotel in central Gijón. Room was spacious with a wonderful bathroom. The room had excellent blackout curtains, I slept really well. Breakfast was very tasty with a wide variety of options
