Hotel Històric

We had only one night in Girona from a longer visit to Barcelona We took the high speed train , only 38 minutes , and walked to this lovely old hotel Located within a stones throw of the magnificent cathedral, it’s small, incredibly homely, and steeped in old world charm. We went to 4 th floor to get incredible views of the cathedral and across the city On arrival it took a little while to complete the paperwork but then the owner spend a good 10 minutes with a map pointing out a good way to see all of the sights. He was very helpful and accommodating. As it’s up near the cathedral, there was no one about later in the evening and we had a very peaceful nights sleep. We took an excellent breakfast there in the morning Would absolutely recommend this place !

Nice place. Loved the stay. It felt very “serve yourself after 23:00” so lost that 4-5 star touch. But it’s a beautiful building and perfectly located on the hill.

We stayed in the family suite and whilst the room is well decorated and equipped with a lovely bathroom and jacuzzi, I don't recommend staying here with young kids. The bedrooms had very thin shutters which let in a lot of light and there are no curtains. Even at night, it lets in a lot of light and at sunrise the rooms is extremely bright so our kids did not sleep well. Furthermore, they did not provide complimentary bottled water in the rooms. It's a minor point, but with temperatures of 35C and after a long day of travel, we expected this at a minimum. Overall, it was sisappointing for a 4 star hotel and given the price-point.
