RICE Reyes Católicos
Colonial-style grandeur on a main Burgos avenue
About this hotel
RICE Reyes Catolicos keeps the service and style of a traditional continental hotel on Avenida Reyes Catolicos, within easy walking distance of the historic centre and the cathedral itself. The Museum of Human Evolution, Burgos Forum Auditorium and the University Hospital all sit within twenty minutes on foot, making it workable for both sightseeing and longer medical or business stays that need a reliable, central base. The colonial-style grand hotel feel carries through an elegant piano lounge bar and a gourmet restaurant, with classic rooms offering free Wi-Fi throughout every category on offer. Guests can also access a nearby gym at a discounted rate, and Plaza de Espana sits ten minutes' walk from the front entrance, with the Palacio de Congresos Exhibition Centre a short ten-minute drive further out.

Our take
It suits travellers who want a traditional grand-hotel atmosphere, piano bar included, rather than a boutique or budget stay, and the twenty-minute walking radius covers most of the city's key sights comfortably without feeling rushed. Anyone wanting to be directly inside the old town's narrowest streets should look closer to the cathedral square instead of this main avenue address.
- ✓Have a drink at the piano lounge bar before dinner, it sets this hotel apart from the simpler options nearer the cathedral square.
- ✓Use the discounted nearby gym if your stay runs more than a couple of nights, it is a genuinely useful, underused perk here.
- ✓Walk the twenty minutes to the Museum of Human Evolution rather than taking a taxi, the avenue route is pleasant and well signposted.

Why guests love itRICE Reyes Católicos is a colonial-style four-star on one of the main avenues of Burgos, an easy walk from the historic centre and the cathedral, which keeps sightseeing with children simple. The piano lounge bar and gourmet restaurant give it the feel of a classic grand hotel, more suited to families with older children than to toddlers. Rooms are classic in style, and the 8.1 score comes from over 2,300 reviews.
