Hotels in Barcelona

Barcelona has more than 3,500 accommodations on our platform, so the decision is not easy if you don't have a clear idea of what you're looking for. The first thing is to know that the city is divided into very different areas. If you come for classic tourism, the Barrio Gótico and the Born place you next to the cathedral, the Picasso museum and the liveliest streets, but they are also the noisiest and with the least natural light. The Eixample, especially around the Sagrada Familia or the Paseo de Gracia, offers larger and better connected apartments, although prices rise compared to the historic center. If you prefer quiet and lower prices, Gràcia is a village within the city, with squares where you can have a drink and a more local atmosphere, and it still has good metro access. El Poble-sec and Sant Antoni, at the foot of Montjuïc, are an increasingly popular alternative: cheaper than the center, with a good range of bars and a twenty-minute walk from the Ramblas. La Barceloneta only makes sense if you want to be right next to the beach, but in summer it is noisy and the flats are usually small and expensive.

As for prices, the minimum you will find is 76 euros per night, and the average is around 267. The difference depends mainly on the season. From November to March (except Christmas and the Mobile World Congress) prices drop considerably. In spring and autumn, with good weather and congresses, they rise. July and August are expensive and with high occupancy, but if you book two or three months in advance you can still find reasonable apartments in areas such as Sants or Les Corts, which are well connected but less in demand. To get there, the airport has the aerobús (every 5 minutes to Plaza Cataluña) and the L9 metro, which takes about 30 minutes to the center. To get around, the metro and city buses work well; the T-Casual card (10 trips) is the most cost-effective option if you are going to use public transport more than four times a day. Walking is also viable for most attractions, as long as you don't stay on the outskirts.

Before booking, take a good look at the exact location on the map and read recent comments about noise, elevator and condition of the furniture. In apartments, confirm whether the price includes final cleaning and whether there is a physical reception or only key handover. Also check the cancellation policy: many cheap deals are non-refundable if you change your plans. At HotelsCasa you have examples such as GRAN VIA GuestHouse, Habitaciones Aribau, Hostal Balmes Centro or Habitaciones Roger, which well represent the offer of guest houses and central hostels, ideal if you travel alone or as a couple and want to spend less. The average category of the accommodations is 3.4 stars, so don't expect widespread luxury: most are functional apartments (there are 2,572) and mid-range hotels (523). If you are looking for breakfast included, you have 45 bed and breakfast options, and 70 aparthotels if you want hotel service with a kitchen.
