Hostal Rodri

Hostal Rodri is a small budget guesthouse in the central Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, at Calle Laurel de las Tablas 9. It is one of the closest budget stays to the Cathedral, about 4 minutes on foot, and sits around 9 minutes from Plaza Nueva. The Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería lanes, Plaza Bib-Rambla and the main shopping streets of the old town are all within a few minutes, and the centre is largely flat, which makes it easy to walk with luggage from the nearby bus stops. The property record lists 10 rooms, a very small number that gives the hostal a quiet, family-sized character. Rooms are single, double and twin. No other amenities are recorded, so visitors who need Wi-Fi, air conditioning or heating should ask before booking, especially in July and August, when afternoon temperatures in Granada regularly pass 35°C. The price range is about €45–€100 per night (roughly $52–$115), depending on season, room type and how far ahead the booking is made. Easter, the Corpus Christi fair and the spring and autumn peaks are the most expensive periods. No restaurant, spa, pool or gym is listed. Breakfast is usually taken at a café nearby, and evenings are spent in the tapas bars of the centre, where many places serve a free tapa with each drink. Service is informal, with reception help on directions, luggage and advice on timed Alhambra entry rather than concierge services. The hostal suits travellers who want to be close to the Cathedral and the pedestrian shopping streets and who intend to spend little time in the room. Because the property is so small, availability is limited and weekends fill early. The telephone number is +34 958 288 043 and the website is hostalrodri.com, where room options, check-in arrangements and rates can be confirmed. Late arrivals should be arranged in advance, as small hostals rarely staff reception round the clock.
