Where to Stay in Teruel

Teruel is small, but where you sleep still shapes your trip. Stay in the old town, and you will step out onto lively squares and Mudéjar towers. Choose the area near the train station, and you get easy arrivals and a short stroll uphill. Prefer more space, parking and family fun? Then the streets along Avenida de Sagunto suit you better. Below, we explain each area and share some great places to stay in each one.

Old Town (Casco Antiguo)

The old town is where most visitors want to be. Here you will find Plaza del Torico, the cathedral and the famous Mudéjar towers. Everything sits within a few minutes’ walk. In the evening, tapas bars buzz around the squares. As a result, this area suits couples, culture lovers and anyone travelling without a car.

It has a Google review score of around 4.2 out of 5. Reviewers often praise the position and how close the main sights are. A few mention that the car park costs extra, at around €15 a night.

Old town hotels fill up fast during busy periods. Teruel gets especially full at Easter, in July during the Vaquilla del Ángel fiesta, and in February for the Bodas de Isabel de Segura. It is a good idea to book accommodation well in advance if you plan to visit at these peak times. Otherwise, the best rooms may disappear.

Near the Train Station and Paseo del Óvalo

The area around the station feels calmer than the old town. It is a good choice if you arrive by train or want a quieter night’s sleep. From here, you can climb the Escalinata del Óvalo to reach the historic centre. Alternatively, you can use the lift, which one guest said they loved. Overall, this area works well for short city breaks.

Gran Hotel Botánicos stands across the street from the train station. It is known for being close to the Torre del Salvador and the Escalinata del Óvalo. That makes it very handy for rail travellers with luggage. Guests have praised the lift up to old town street level, which saves a steep climb. Get directions.

Hotel Reina Cristina is a four-star hotel on Paseo del Óvalo. It is known for its breakfast and its welcome for pets, so it suits travellers with a dog.

Avenida de Sagunto and the Outskirts

Heading away from the centre, you gain space and easier parking. This area suits families, road-trippers and anyone visiting Dinópolis, Teruel’s dinosaur theme park. You will need a short walk, taxi or drive to reach the old town. In return, rooms are often larger and prices a little lower.

Hotel Civera stands next to Dinópolis, so it works well for a family trip. This three-star hotel belongs to the Grupo Gargallo chain. It is known for its good prices and for welcoming dogs.
