Silken Ciudad Gijón
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a four-star base by Gijón's train station with a spa, pool and gym at a price close to the city median. If the spa is the main reason to go, read the guest complaints first, and if you only need a clean bed, our Budget pick costs about €32 less a night.

Rail travellers are the obvious fit. Guests say the hotel sits next to the train station and within walking distance of the city centre and the beaches, so arriving and heading out is simple.
Families also have options here. The property lists family rooms, a pool, a spa, a gym, a restaurant and a terrace. Availability, opening times and any fees for these are not confirmed, so check them for your dates.
Skip it if a proper spa session is the point of your trip. The one recurring complaint is about the wellness area: a small pool with jets, water that is often cold and sauna access that guests find inconvenient.
Location and getting around
The address is Bohemia, 1, in Gijón. Guests rate the location 8.5 out of 10 and mention the station next door, the walkable centre and the beaches.
The Juan Barjola Museum of Painting is about 1.3 km away, roughly 16 minutes on foot. The Plaza de Toros de El Bibio is about 2.4 km, close to 30 minutes, which is a long but manageable walk.
The International Bagpipe Museum is about 3.3 km away, around 41 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Breakfast gets the warmest comments. It is a buffet, and guests describe it as abundant, with a wide variety of fresh fruit, breads and savoury options.
The location is the other strong point, mainly because the train station is right there and the centre and beaches can be reached on foot.
On the negative side, the spa draws criticism. Guests mention a small pool area with jets, water that is often cold and awkward access to the sauna. Score: 8.9 out of 10 from 5,623 reviews, a large sample.
Price and what you get against our other Gijón picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €89.25 per night, about €178.50 for the two nights. That is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Myro, was €57.60 a night with a 9.1 score and two stars. Our Luxury pick, El Môderne Hotel, was €109 a night, also with a 9.1 score and four stars.
So the two other picks score slightly higher. What you get here for the middle price is four stars, a listed spa, pool and gym, and a position next to the station. The sample median was €85 a night, so this hotel sits just above it.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Gijón. This one shared third place on review score, and with 5,623 reviews its rating rests on a lot of feedback.
It takes our Best Value slot because it balances guest score, review volume and price. It is not the cheapest option in the city and was not chosen to be.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the rate conditions to see whether the buffet breakfast is included.
If you are counting on the spa or pool, ask about opening hours, water temperature and sauna access, and whether there is a charge.
