Where to stay in Girona?

There are many hotels in Girona. Booking.com seems to find more than 40 hotels, pensions and other accommodation alternatives. When I was planning my cycling vacation in Girona, I decided not to spend much on hotels. So, I chose cheap ones. I stayed in two hotels, both of which I can recommend.

First, I stayed 13 days in Pensio Viladomat. It was the cheapest one I found, only 23 euros per day. It turned out to be good enough.
Viladomat

Pros:

  • Close to the Bike Shop, less than 100 steps. 
  • A shop downstairs
  • Good showers
  • Close to B12 and other nice bars and restaurants
  • Clean
  • Rooms have balconies for drying laundry
  • Fast WiFi

Cons

  • Cheap rooms are in the 4th floor. Very steep stairs, high floors
  • Noisy (construction going on nearby, happy people in bars)
  • No breakfast, no fridge, no laundry service
  • Plain, not romantic at all
Then, I stayed 2 days in Pensio Bellmirall. It was not expensive either, only 40 euros per day including breakfast.

Pros: 
  • Close to the Cathedral 
  • Romantic, with brick walls, flowers, etc
  • Friendly English speaking staff
  • Clean, nice decorated rooms
  • Breakfast included. A decent one.
Cons:
  • Noisy. Cathedral making noise every 15 minutes. A lot of it. 
  • Very poor Wifi
  • Poor showers (no way to wash my thick, long hair)
  • Far from anything but the cathedral. 200 steps of stairs from Bike Shop
  • No laundry service etc. Washing laundry a bit more difficult than in Viladomat.

In addition to these two hotels, there are certainly many AirBnB rooms available in Girona. If you want something really fancy, give Quintessense International Real Estate a call. They are able to get you an apartment in the Barri Vell (old town) with kitchen etc for 100 euros a day or so.
