Affordable Hotels in Girona: What to Expect
Girona is one of Catalonia's most rewarding cities to visit, and it does not have to be expensive. Budget travelers will find a range of 2-star and 3-star hotels spread across the city and its surrounding municipalities, from the lively Eixample district to the quieter suburban areas of Salt and Fontajau. Prices in our selection run from roughly 62 EUR per night at a hostal located about 10 km from the center, up to around 141 EUR for a 3-star property further out, giving you genuine flexibility depending on how close you want to be to Girona's medieval old town and Cathedral.
Neighborhoods and Locations Worth Knowing
If proximity to the city matters to you, the Eixample district is a practical base: it sits just outside the historic walls, is walkable to the old quarter, and features several competitively priced hotels. For travelers on a tighter budget who do not mind a short bus or drive, Salt (roughly 3.4 km from central Girona) and Fontajau offer ibis-branded and independent options that trade central location for lower rates. Properties located 10 to 14 km out, such as Hostal Cassà or Hotel Restaurant Sausa, tend to be the most economical but require a car or reliance on local transport. Weighing transport costs against room savings is key to finding your real best price in Girona.

Is it worth staying in Salt or Fontajau to save money in Girona?+
Staying in Salt, about 3.4 km from Girona's center, can shave a meaningful amount off your nightly rate compared to central hotels, and Salt has regular bus connections into the city. Fontajau is similarly accessible and hosts two ibis properties with solid ratings. If you are traveling by car, these areas make strong sense. If you are on foot or relying on public transport, factor in travel time and ticket costs before committing.
What tips help reduce the cost of a hotel stay in Girona?+
Several strategies help keep costs low in Girona. First, look at properties in Salt, Fontajau, or slightly outside the city limits, where nightly rates tend to be lower than in the historic center. Second, visit during shoulder season (spring or autumn) when demand and prices are generally lower than in peak summer. Third, compare the total cost including any transport you will need from an outlying property. Finally, booking in advance through a price-comparison platform often unlocks better rates than walk-in or last-minute bookings.
