Yes, I know people have eulogised about the staff here, and the quality of the breakfast buffet, and I guess somebody always has to draw the short straw and get the tiny dark room with no view...

...but this time that somebody was me, and it made for a stay that I wasn't sorry to end. My room was tiny, and I am genuinely not exaggerating this for comic effect. I have bigger cupboards at home! Just enough room in it for the bed, and space enough to walk down either side of it, and that was your lot. Unfortunately there was hardly any natural light, which made the room seem even smaller and pokier. The window overlooked some sort of narrow, grimy shaft that ran down to some skylights onto the ground floor below. All I could see from my window was a wall opposite me, some 4 metres away, with a collection of stained pipes bolted to it.

But. The room was clean, the shower was powerful (the bath it emptied into was laughably tiny - literally half the length of a normal bathtub), and yes, the staff were friendly enough, the breakfast buffet was very pleasant, and there was free wifi. Any room but mine (or it's equivalent on the other floors) and it would have been a fine enough place to stay, I suspect.

Stayed for one night. No complaints at all- very friendly and helpful staff, clean and well appointed rooms with a few extra touches. Good location too. Good breaksfast buffet and good value I thought. I would recommend and certainly return.

Hotel Ramiro I is a 4 stars hotel in Oviedo. It was an old hotel that have been renewed recently.

The rooms are quite nice, with a flat LCD TV and the WC are new. Clean, with an antique decoration.

The breakfast is normal, above average for a hotel of this kind. The best thing is that they have a Nespresso machine: great coffee!

It's far away from everything.

My wife has family in Oviedo. They recommended this hotel. It is very much a hotel that flies under the radar, as it seems to be a place where Spanish nationals (locals) stay when they visit Oviedo. We have 2 kids so we got 2 rooms. They were very large with large bathrooms. Very nice. The cafe/bar is a nice place to meet. My 10 and 11 year old kids made friends with the young bartender. The hotel is within walking distance of everything...and many buses stop right in front of it. I never needed a car and we walked everywhere in Oviedo. I'd recommend it.
