Hostal Restaurante Fogón de Gredos

Situated in a stunning location at Guisando in the Gredos Mountains, a short drive from Arenas de San Pedro. The Hostel-Restaurante Fogon de Gredos offers basic comfort and sustenance. First observations hint that money needs to be spent on the premises. However, cleanliness was paramount. The guest rooms are simple and extremely basic, but then what can you expect for around €30 per night. The en suite bathroom was adequate and clean but I found that I required contortionist training to use the shower. Wifi, very important these days, is free and worked well. There was plenty of parking available close to the Hostel.||The restaurant was impressive with fine views over the surrounding countryside. Food was no more than okay, but having spent all day exploring towns and villages in the Gredos mountains we all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. I can certainly recommend the house red, can’t remember what it was now, but we found it to be excellent.||A simple but adequate breakfast was served in the cafeteria/bar by the friendly proprietor. He seem to do everything, receptionist, waiter, chef, everything!||We enjoyed our short stay, would we stay again? Possibly not.

Arrived very late, but still had a great evening there with a very friendly owner. He even opened up the kitchen and surprised us with excellent dinner. For the next morning we were free to choose what we wanted and he prepared everything freshly for us. Definitely worth a stay, much better than those in the bigger towns around.

Fantastic everything: great value, beautiful place. The food is really good. Alfredo's torrijas are the best I have ever tried!

Good service and very good portions. Classic Spanish food. Nice quality, recommendable for lunch if you're in the area.

Nice, friendly manager. Clean rooms, very well maintained. Small comfortable rooms. Excellent restaurant. Magnificent landscape and a few walking trails that are breath-taking.

very friendly people and very good food. i took the oxtail and it was superb. also the local wine! gr Stephan

Great restaurant. Good service. Nice terrace.

Quando chegamos às 13h10 no dia 19 de julho o restaurante estava vazio, levei o filho à casa de banho antes de sentarmos para comer, perguntaram se tínhamos reserva, pois sem reserva não seria possível comer ou usar o banheiro. Claro que isso é mentira e às 14h o restaurante continua com pouca gente. No entanto fomos almoçar a um outro restaurante El Tropezón, 50m mais abaixo na mesma rua, com muito bom serviço!
