Hotel tips for you

Historic Settings: Many Girona hotels occupy restored historic buildings, so expect uneven layouts and lots of character rather than uniform chain-style rooms.
Walkable Location: Many hotels are within an easy walk of the old town and the main train and bus station.
Parking And Bikes: Parking at Girona hotels is often limited and spaces can be narrow; secure bike storage is common for cycling guests.
Breakfast Rates: Travelers often praise hotel breakfasts here, but it is frequently an extra charge, so check your rate.
Outdoor Pools: Several hotels have outdoor pool areas that guests enjoy cooling off in after a day in the old town.
