Apartments in A Coruña

When looking for apartments in A Coruña, the first thing you should be clear about is that the city is divided into several areas with very different personalities. The historic centre and the Marina area are ideal if you want to walk to almost everything: plaza de María Pita, calle Real or the port are just a few minutes away. That said, parking is difficult and night-time noise can be a drawback if you are looking for absolute rest. El Ensanche, around avenida de Finisterre or plaza de Vigo, offers more peace and better bus connections, with a range of shops and bars that is just as good. If you prefer the beach, the Riazor and Orzán area lets you have the promenade on your doorstep, although in summer the atmosphere is livelier and prices go up. Beyond the centre, the neighbourhood of Monte Alto or the Eirís area are cheaper options, but you will have to take the bus or the car to get around comfortably.

The main difference between one area and another lies in the balance between price, peace and proximity to points of interest. Apartments in the old town tend to be more expensive per square metre and with less light, but they win out on atmosphere. In El Ensanche you find more modern buildings with a lift, something that is not always guaranteed in the historic centre. In Riazor, sea views make the stay more expensive, but if you don't mind walking fifteen minutes to the centre, you can save quite a bit by staying on interior streets. If you travel in low season, from November to March, prices drop noticeably: the average price of 168 euros per night can fall to less than 100 on many dates, and it is not unusual to find deals for 96 euros. In summer and during the San Juan festivities, demand soars and it is best to book weeks in advance.

To get there, Alvedro airport is about twenty minutes by car from the centre, and there are city buses that connect with the bus and train stations. If you come by train, San Cristóbal station is well connected to the centre, but bear in mind that the city has steep hills, so if you have heavy suitcases, it is better to take a taxi or a bus. To get around, the bus network is efficient and cheap, but many areas of the centre are best covered on foot. Before booking, check whether the apartment has a lift, heating (essential in winter) and whether the price includes cleaning costs or supplements per person. It is also worth checking whether the accommodation is on a pedestrian street or one with traffic restrictions, because that affects arrival by car. At HotelsCasa you have 258 apartments available, with an average rating of 3.4 stars, so there is room to compare options such as Rueiro 17, Apartamentos CRUNIA, Apartamentos Portazgo or Apartamentos Coruña Vip Centro.
