Room Mate Marcos is a great value choice for those visiting Oviedo; smart, stylish and easy on the pocket, it shares the typical fresh and funky decor of the Room Mate chain, and is a five-minute walk to San Francisco Park to boot. This is the social heart of the city, an area rich with theatres, exhibition centres, restaurants and trendy bars, as well as Oviedo's pedestrian old quarter.

The facilities

There's no restaurant on-site, but plenty of options in the surrounding streets, so be sure to ask staff for recommendations. The breakfast buffet spread is of good quality, and is served until noon. Wifi access is complimentary throughout the building. There's also a choice of meeting rooms for business travellers.

The rooms

Interior designers Clara and Lorenzo del Castillo have kept a sense of this building's history when renovating the 47 guestrooms. They are intimate and refined, with a palette of smart back-and-white, offset by splashes of bright colour. All of the rooms at Room Mate Marcos has a minibar, personal safe and work station.
