Hotels in Gijón

Gijón has 727 accommodations in the HotelsCasa catalog, and the offer is much more varied than it seems at first glance. Most are apartments (622), followed by hotels (46), vacation homes (26), guesthouses (19), aparthotels (4) and villas (3). The average price is around 151 euros per night, but you can find options from 58 euros if you have date flexibility and don't need great luxuries. The average category of the establishments is 3.5 stars, so the general standard is decent without being spectacular.

When choosing an area, you have to think about what kind of trip you're going to take. If you want to be near San Lorenzo beach, look for accommodation in the La Arena neighborhood or in the center, between the Piles bridge and the El Náutico stairway. There you'll have the promenade two minutes away and most of the tourist apartments are well connected. If you prefer a bar and restaurant atmosphere, the Cimadevilla neighborhood is more authentic, but also noisier and with less accommodation available. The El Llano area is more residential and quiet, with somewhat lower prices, but you'll have to take the bus or walk twenty minutes to the sea. To get around, Gijón is a small city: you can walk almost everywhere, and if you come by car, keep in mind that parking in the center is complicated and expensive. The train and bus stations are near the center, so if you arrive by public transport, you don't need anything more.

As for prices, the cheapest is usually from November to March, except Christmas and the December long weekend. In summer, especially in August, prices skyrocket and it's hard to find anything for less than 100 euros. If you can, travel in June or September: the weather is good and prices are much more reasonable. Before booking, always check if the accommodation has a kitchen (many apartments do, but not all), if the price includes final cleaning and if there is a physical reception or it's just key handover. It's also advisable to check recent comments about noise and insulation, because many old buildings in the center are not well soundproofed. Examples of places that appear in the listing and usually have good value for money are Alda Miramar Rooms, Alda Centro Gijón, Alojamientos ALBOR I or GoodHouse, but don't commit to any of them without comparing first.
