RICE Bulevar
Contemporary rooms with cathedral views
About this hotel
RICE Bulevar sits close enough to the old town that the historic heart of Burgos is a five-minute stroll away, past the charming shopping streets and squares that surround the cathedral on nearly every side. Some of its contemporary design rooms carry direct views over Burgos Cathedral itself, an unusual feature at this price category and a genuine reason to request one specifically when booking rather than accepting a standard allocation. The Museum of Human Evolution sits an equally short five-minute walk away, and excellent road and bus networks around the hotel make exploring further into the wider city straightforward for anyone extending the trip beyond the old town loop and into the surrounding province.
- Cathedral views
- Contemporary design
- Free WiFi
- Well connected
Our take
RICE Bulevar suits travellers who want a modern, design-forward room without paying palace-conversion prices, and the cathedral-view rooms are worth requesting specifically at booking rather than hoping for one on arrival at check-in. Anyone wanting a historic building rather than contemporary design should look toward Fernan Gonzalez instead of this newer, view-focused property near the old town.
- ✓Request a cathedral-view room specifically when booking, not every room at RICE Bulevar has one and they are worth the ask.
- ✓Walk the five minutes into the old town rather than driving, the shopping streets around the cathedral are pedestrian-friendly throughout.
- ✓Use the good bus network here if exploring beyond the historic centre, RICE Bulevar sits well connected to the wider city.

Why guests love itRICE Bulevar is a few metres from the old town of Burgos, and some rooms look out over the cathedral, so I would request one of those when booking with children who enjoy a view. The Museum of Human Evolution, a strong pick for curious kids, is a five-minute walk. Rooms are contemporary, with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Facilities are simple, with no pool or spa.
