Hotel Neri
Hotel Neri has a fantastic location in Barri Gotic behind the Catedral de Barcelona. There
is an almost gothic romantic feel to the 22-room hotel. There are high
ceilings supported by big beams and huge red couches in their top
suite. The bathroom has a relax-button so you dim the light before
stepping into the big tub made of grey granite and glass. The suite has
a balcony door at the foot of the bed. The junior suite is almost
nicer. It has double balcony doors and a view of what looks like an
overdone Mediterranean movie set with fresh laundry hanging lazily over
the colorful flower pots.
The roof terrace is super cool with a phone to order drinks, a
pleasant view, huge cushions that you can lie in and listen to music
and a designer shower on the wooden deck. Every room that ends with a 1
or 2 in the room number has a view to a nice, little courtyard.
Approx. 250-300 €

Prestige Paseo de Gracia
Prestige Paseo de Gracia in de Gracia Street has big light rooms with huge couches in the Double Standard rooms. You can easily sleep one or two kids on the couch.
The
bathroom is kept in black granite and grey marble. The hotel has a
great and spacious lobby area with a fun and very useful ”Ask
Me-service”. Ask any question and they will provide you with an answer.
Remember to book a room, which is not facing the street.
Approx. 150-350 €
Hostal Grau
In Raval you can also stay at Hostal Grau in a really great area behind the Rambla. The rooms are small, but it’s nice and clean. Since
the house is old, some of the rooms have wooden ceilings.
A suite, which sleeps four people, and a balcony door can be had at 90 euros.
Don’t be afraid of staying in a room without a bath. The small communal bathrooms are clean and nicely redone.
Approx. 45-90 €

Banys Orientals
Banys Orientals is cheap and has a very good location in El Born.
Dark wooden floors and black wooden beds with crisp white linen.
Spacious rooms. Breakfast café with no view. OK bathroom. Nothing ostentatious.
Approx. 80-110 €
Ciutat
Ciutat has a colorful restaurant! The rooms are either red, green or blue. Floors, closets and beds all in light wood. Most rooms have a balcony door. The rooms are light and airy. On the top of the building is a small swimming pool with mosaics. Amazing view over the rooftops with laundry hanging to dry and bikes parked on top of the buildings! The hotel opened in March 2006, and therefore not worn-down.
It has the best location ever, in a very charming street, El Born, close to the Picasso Museum.
Approx. 100-200 €
