Exe El Magistral

Oviedo


A smart if not overly exciting option, well positioned on the northern edge of the old town. The 31 ‘classic’ bath-equipped rooms with blue-and-yellow striped sheets feel dated but perfectly comfy, while the newer block has 18 smaller but significantly more stylish and contemporary rooms in hot-reds and blacks. Top-floor rooms are attic-style, with sloping ceilings.
