Barcelona, Spain + Add a trip

Inside BCN

Great place to stay. Fully recommended.

loquo - accomodation

Private rentals (rooms/apartments) for short and long term. Price range from budget to exclusive, great for last minutes... Deal directly with the owner, thousands of listings for Barcelona alone, most with photos and availability.

The same site also covers other parts of Spain.

Apartments in good locations and nice personal treat

A great way to enjoy the city is to stay in a fully furnished apartment. We stayed four days and we felt like home, immersed in local life. The flat was luminous, large and totally renewed. It still kept the flavor of traditional Spanish (or Catalan) buildings but with a very modern and chic taste. We stayed in Eixample which is a neighborhood to recommend. Very close to Ramblas but not as busy or noisy as staying in Gotico or Raval which might also be sort of dangerous for tourists (beware especially pickpockets and your camera!)

Hotel Neri - the most romantic hotel in Barcelona

Tucked away in the Gotic Quarter and around the corner from the cathedral is the most romantic hotel in Barcelona - Hotel Neri. Try the website directly www.hotelneri.com/ or go to Splendia www.splendia.com/Hotel-Neri

The most exhilerating hotel In Barcelona - Hotel La Florida

Perched on top of Barcelona's highest mountain Tibidabo overlooking the city is Hotel Florida. A church towers behind the hotel and an amusement park to the right. They have a heated pool which is indoors and out. You can sip long island ice-tea on a deck chair wondering in amazement this beautiful city.

Apartments

I found another good site for apartments. www.shortstayapartment.com with tourist apartments for barcelona and other places. Nice site too!

@Thomas Winkler I Fully second inside-BCN as an absolutly fabulous place to stay in BCN... just avoid their apts in Sants which are nowhere near the city center.

The Hotel Omm fails to completely charm me but it has qualities that you can't turn a blind eye to. Like location. Like breakfast. LIke a Michelin-starred restaurant. Like a packed nightclub. However, don't consider it if you want a quiet, romantic weekend, 'cuz you won't. Read more here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=544

Casa Camper. It is just like the shoes – not looking like anything you've seen but highly comfortable! Staff are fantastic. Rooms have an... interesting layout. Read and see more here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=545

stay in the center of the city - getting a cab on late nights is really hard.

If you're looking for affordable & decent hotel in the city center, I can warmly recommend this based on almost week vacation in Barcelona, Spring 2009. Not luxury, but meets my standards of a nice & safe hotel!

nightclub sucks, drinks are expensive, not so many tourists.

A hotel that does its best to look very cool but fails to deliver in some very fundamental areas. Some images and the review of a not so overwhelming stay can be found right here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=543

The staff was over the top attentive, polite and seemed hell bent on working and focusing on the customer. Like nothing i've ever witnessed before. The free snack bar is a great idea. The rooms were beautiful. Can't say enough about the shower. The extra lounge room was nice but the alley is really loud thru late afternoon till 11 pm so that was the one downside. But bedroom was quiet. Bed was really comfortable. Hands down, the best hotel I've stayed in in years.

Only problem is finding it. If you are renting a car, you will not find it on the map. You need to find the Meridian Hotel off the Ramblas and make your first right after Meridian, and then a left down the narrow street/alley to Camper. Very close to the museum and the college.

I highly recommend Bornliving if you are going to Barcelona to live or even to visit! It is a very good company that deals with anything from moving to barcelona, offers apartment rentals and has some very good insight and tips. You can find anything from culture, sights, eating out, places to visit etc. Here is the link for anyone looking for information: www.bornliving.com

Un lugar encantador...

Hotel Praktik Rambla is a Low Cost Design hotel, with one of the possible best locations. Many places are in 10 minutes walking distance, but it's a nice area to wander around without a map as well.

The typical modernista building, which has history of more than 100 years, has a nice combination of antique and modern touch. I enjoyed very much the small details, from the colorful mosaic floor to the embossed floral shapes on the ceiling. The beds were more than big enough and comfortable for a pleasant stay.

The library was a nice place to take a rest quietely under the sun (in the middle of Barcelona!) as it was placed in a typical eixample patio. Oh, they have free wi-fi all around the hotel.

The Praktik is a urban low cost design hotel. Simple design and great location at a low cost. Simply Praktikal.

The hotel is located 3 blocks from one of the biggest street of Barcelona, Passeig de Gracia, in a neighbory area. Great places like Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Vinçon are all in a walkable distance and Plaça Catalunya is only 1 station away by the metro.

Wi-fi is free of charge, and the beds are very confortable. Simplicity would be the best word to define the hotel. I liked it very much.

not really in the middle of the city, but it's literally 1 block from the metro and super nice. it's about an 18 minute ride to the La Rambla stop.

Good for a business trip. The "Glòries" mall is right across the street.

Acta Atrium palace hotel is just a very short walk from passeig de gracia. Perhaps 200 m from Metro station. Clean and quite rooms for reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. I felt very well the 2 night of my stay.

Hotel Curious in Barcelona is the best one star hotel in the city with breakfast included and free wifi.Hotel Curious located 20 meters from las Ramblas. More information http://www.hotelcurious.com

Perfect location close to the subway Liceu, La Rambla, the shopping, in the city central and close to the great restaurants and bars in El Born. Situated in an small street where no cars are allowed makes this a calm hotel. Unfortuantely quite small beds and the insulation is not the best. But the clean and modern rooms, free WiFi/wired Internet, guest computer, breakfast restaurant, nice staff, etc makes this a very good hotel for a great price.

Fantastic hotel, easy access by subway. Clean room and helpfull staff. Huge shopping center just across the street!

Just outside of La Rambla and close to the city center. Decent rooms, late breakfast and a quite street make it a perfect hotel for the younger crowd. Because of its location it is not the most expensive place and has good value. Service is good and there is an internet connection you can use to keep you up to date.

Convenient stay in Barcelona for logistic and comfort of apartments. Really 2 minutes from everything: train station Sants, Barcelona trade fair, metro. Away from the congestion of the big city but at the same time near to all the places you want to visit. The apartments are freshly decorated with minimal style and full of light. It's a bargain if you are 4 people and really makes you feel like you were at home.

Very nice modern hotel just behind la Sagrada Familia. Very clean, stylish and efficient. Great location.

if you go alone, i rent a bed sharing the room with other travelers, a good thing if you travel light an alone, for about17 euros at Barcelona Sound hostel located at c/ nou de la rambla 91, if you are looking for more places and suggestions, i recommend http://www.world-rt.com/ it is where i found it, recommended by the local guy owning this site including local info and tips

Nice hotel, close to the Bogatel metro station.

It has changed name and management, I believe. It is now Hotel SixtyTwo.

Fabulous location 5 minutes from La Rambla and 2 minutes from Metro, great rooftop pool and lounge, very well priced, staff were very accomodating

Good apartment locations in Barcelona and prices per apartment, so affordable if you travel in a small group.

I stayed in Diagonal in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district with 3 colleagues.

Amazing hotel with a great view from the roof top and a(unheated) pool but expensive for having breakfast and using the internet

Very "praktikal" hotel as its name says. You've got everything you need: a huge & comfy bed to sleep on, clean rooms (minimalist as well, but I do like that!), friendly staff, fantastic balconies in the room (that was the best thing for sure!) and a very nice terrace :D

Also, it's centrally located (just a 5-10 minute walk to Plaça Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia, Ramblas...) but not on the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas (I appreciate it at night because it is quiet and calm around).

100% recommendable :)
