HOTEL CASTILLO DEL BOSQUE LA ZOREDA

This is one of the most beautiful and romantic places we have stayed at. Everything was just perfect. The location is spectacular. The rooms were lovely and quiet, the beds plush and comfortable, the bathrooms a generous size. The public areas were elegantly appointed and the service was outstanding. The Castle in the Forest is truly a magical place to stay.

This hotel is 4 miles from Downtown but it is worth it, the surroundings are beautiful and the rooms are very nice. I recommend the Restaurant, very pleased with the quality of the food and service, I had dinner there the 2 nights I stayed.

This is a really nice boutique hotel in a somewhat out of the way location close to Ovideo. You definetely need a car! But the rooms are really nice and individual, we also liked the lady at the front desk, and our special friends were the two bar keepers. Great Gin Tonic, and wonderful atmosphere.

Location of the hotel is very nice in a private park just a few minutes outside of Oviedo. In case you want to explore Oviedo and its great restaurants and bars I would suggest to stay in the city directly. The impression of the castle-like building promises a lot, which unfortunately the staff cannot fulfill. We had booked a 2 floor duplex Junior Suite to celebrate my birthday but the only room that was available was a "Suite" without windows in the ground floor, that did not look like the images on the website and was smaller than promised as well. Al of the Junior Suites are different and it seems that the staff decides who receives a good suite or a not so good suite. Reception staff was not very helpful and unfortunately also not very friendly as you would expect it for a "5 star hotel". The bathroom was not completely clean with hairs in and around the sink and there is not even a coffee maker in the room, as should be standard in a Junior Suite in a hotel of that class. There is no gym and the spa area is only available after reservation (which was blocked for most of the evening already) with an extra fee. Breakfast was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed 4 nights in a deluxe junior suite. The hotel and grounds are beautiful. The quality of food and service are truly exceptional. Whatever their level of English (and most were very good), every staff member treated us like royalty. The dining room is beautiful and the food was memorable. Our only misgivings concerned the lack of bright lights in our room--rooms actually, since the suite has an upstairs bedroom. Having designed a very impressive building, the architect missed out completely on lighting in the rooms. The hotel would do very well to add more lamps and brighter bulbs. If they do, we would have no concerns at all. The hotel has its own signs on nearby roads so we had no trouble finding it. If you are traveling in a hire car, be sure to get SatNav/GPS. The one time we wanted directions back to the hotel, we were pleased that the SatNav responded correctly to "La Zoreda."
