Parador de Cangas de Onis

Very interesting Parador built at former monastery with interesting archaeological remains and history. Conveniently located for stopover en route to Santander. As always, excellent service and food.

You have to be joking! 2i night half board in May was 300 euros…… What do you get…? - No tea or coffee facilities in room - No mini bar or fridge - You have to book the following day’s breakfast time when you check in -how on earth do i know -I’m on holiday! - The earliest evening meal time is 8.30pm ….which was fully booked so 8.45pm was the earliest we could be admitted to the restaurant. Just great when lunch was 12 noon. - The evening menu was indecipherable -the starters and main courses on the menu were not highlighted so it was not possible to tell which is which. - No drinks order taken at the evening meal. - We Ordered food at 9.05pm….it arrived at 9.45pm. -it was only chicken and rice!! - We chose Chicken and rice for the eveneing meal……It was the strangest chicken I’ve ever seen. Most likely it was lamb. - The “chicken” was full of splintered small bones. Which is a reckless way to serve chicken. We complained. - The chicken and rice was the only normal item on menu and it was 5 euros extra if you are on half board. - The Hotel is a nice old monastery with charm but that’s it, - There was a Tv in room but it had no English, German or American tv channels. - The Beds are suitable for monks only - I.e. rock hard. - The bathroom had a plastic toilet seat which slides off as soon as you sit on it. All this for a Price of 300 euros (plus extras) for 1 night. You have got to be kidding me!!
