Hostal Campus
Quiet campus-side base near the monastery
About this hotel
Hostal Campus sits next to the University of Burgos, in a tranquil area far enough from the old town that Burgos Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage stop on the Camino de Santiago, is a thirty-minute walk away rather than a five-minute one. What the location gives up in cathedral proximity, it makes up for with genuine quiet and a two-minute walk to Monasterio de las Huelgas Reales, a historic site most Burgos itineraries skip entirely. Rooms are decorated in light blue and cream tones, heated and fitted with a flat-screen TV, wardrobe and desk, while the private bathroom includes a bath, hairdryer and free toiletries. The bus station connecting to Madrid sits a kilometre away, and private on-site parking is available for an extra cost.

Our take
This suits travellers prioritising quiet over cathedral proximity, particularly pilgrims and academics with business at the university nearby, and the walk to Las Huelgas Reales rewards anyone willing to explore beyond the main tourist loop most visitors never leave. Visitors wanting to be inside the cathedral quarter itself should expect a real thirty-minute walk each way from here, closer to an hour on a tired evening after a long day of sightseeing.
- ✓Budget thirty minutes each way to the cathedral on foot, or take a short taxi if time is tight during a shorter stay.
- ✓Visit Monasterio de las Huelgas Reales first, it sits just two minutes from the hostal and most visitors miss it entirely.
- ✓Book the on-site parking ahead if driving, spaces are limited and it carries an extra charge beyond the room rate.
Why we love it
- Two minutes from Monasterio de las Huelgas Reales
- Genuinely tranquil, campus-side setting nearby
- Heated rooms with desk and wardrobe
- Private parking available on site
Why guests love itHostal Campus is a two-star hostal next to the University of Burgos, in a tranquil part of the city two minutes on foot from the Monasterio de las Huelgas Reales, a worthwhile visit with older children. Heated rooms have a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe and a desk, and private parking is available at an extra cost, useful for families arriving by car. It is a quiet, simple base rather than a place with facilities to keep children busy.
