Where to stay in Jaen
Staying in the city centre puts you within easy walking distance of the market and Jaén's main sights. The Centro is your best base, with plenty of hotels and easy access to everything on foot. The Hotel Xauen is a solid, well-located option right in the heart of the city.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, Parador de Jaén sits up by the castle and offers great views, though you'll want to factor in a short drive or taxi down to the market. Either way, you won't need to go far to enjoy the best of what Jaén has to offer.
