Happy Hostal Carrales
Simple old town rooms among the restaurants
About this hotel
Happy Hostal Carrales keeps things simple: a TV in every room and a location inside Burgos' Old Town that puts the Museum of Human Evolution three hundred and fifty metres away and the cathedral a ten-minute walk further in past several of the district's better tapas bars. The surrounding streets carry a dense concentration of restaurants and bars, useful for evenings that need no planning beyond stepping outside the front door, and the city's main square and theatre sit seven minutes' walk from the door as well. The train station reaches guests by a roughly fifteen-minute bus ride, and the old town's compact layout means most of what a short Burgos visit needs sits within easy walking distance of this straightforward budget address.

Our take
This suits budget-focused travellers who want a genuine old town position without paying for styling or extra amenities most guests never use anyway, and the restaurant-dense streets around it cover most evening plans without a reservation needed in advance. Anyone wanting more than a simple TV-equipped room should expect to pay for a higher category elsewhere in the same district.
- ✓Eat at one of the many restaurants on the surrounding streets rather than travelling elsewhere, the choice right outside covers most tastes and budgets.
- ✓Walk the ten minutes to the cathedral in the morning before the streets fill with tour groups later in the day.
- ✓Use the bus rather than a taxi for the train station, it takes about fifteen minutes and costs a fraction of the alternative.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHappy Hostal Carrales is a two-star hostal in the old town of Burgos, 350 metres from the Museum of Human Evolution and a ten-minute walk from the cathedral, both easy outings with children. Rooms are simple with a TV, and a dense cluster of restaurants and bars sits right outside the door, which makes family meals easy but evenings can be lively. The budget rate and the 8.8 score from over 2,000 reviews make it good value.
