Looking for a good Hotel in Barcelona

My husband and I will be traveling to Barcelona in Oct. to sail on the Allure on a transatlantic cruise.

Anybody have any suggestions for a hotel? We would like to stay in Sant Antoni, El Raval or in that vicinity. We don't want to spend a fortune and if possible like to keep the nightly rate for 2 around $150.00 US dollars for a clean nice place. Any comments would be appreciated, our first trip to Spain.

Be sure to post in the Spain Ports forum too:

Many helpful and knowledgeable people there.

They could also just search that forum, as there are lots of good suggestions.

OH, I didn't know there was a forum for Spain ports, thanks! :) I will take a look.

we stayed at Hotel Do, one block off the Rambla. Very romantic. Take the Hop On/Hop Off bus for a quick round trip tour where you can get off and on where you like all day.

We will stay at Casp74 apartment hotel in June before our sailing on the Allure.

We stayed at Hotel Regina, El Triangle, Barcelona which is a 20 second walk to the starting point of Las Ramblas street. We were here for 1 night before our cruise.

We loved this hotel. It was so close to Las Ramblas without having to pay the prices that most hotels on Ramblas command. The rooms were modern and huge! Plenty of bars and restaurants around. Close to all major attractions and close to the ship terminal as well (we took a taxi from hotel to port and were there in 15-20 mins)

Barcelona is amazing. Spain is Amazing. Personally my favorite city and port in Europe.

We stayed at hotel 1898. Great hotel, perfect location.

We stayed a few days at the Hotel Jazz, very nice and a good price....also very close to Las Ramblas.

We stayed at Hotel 1898 too...but I doubt it will be in the OP's price range ;)

It might not be in your price range, but we absolutely love Suites Avenue. This summer will be our third stay there. Perfect location, very modern, and they are apartments so all the amenities. Outside of your original vicinity, though.

We are also on Allure in October. We've book Room Mate Pau at the top of La Ramblas. Very modern, updated hotel and we paid $196.00 per night, which is quite reasonable for Barcelona. We booked it through Expedia.

We have stayed at Hotel Indigo a few times - great hotel and location, steps from amazing restaurants (Tapas 24 was a real highlight for me, we went twice) and shopping.

I have also stayed at Ayre Rossellon for work quite a few times - right next to sagrada familia, with a rooftop bar and pool with views of the cathedral.

We stayed at H-10 Hotel in Barcelona. It was about a 25E cab ride from the airport and about 15E to the pier. It is just down the street from the Gaudi Cathedral and easy access to the subway. Make sure you spend at least one day exploring Barcelona. We got the hotel on Priceline.

Flor Parks Hotel http://www.hotel-flor-parks.com/ is on Las Ramblas in Barcelona and has great reviews http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187497-d234568-Reviews-Flor_Parks_Hotel-Barcelona_Catalonia.html We stayed there a few years ago and enjoyed the hotel and great location. Lots of action, shopping, Mercado http://www.boqueria.info/mercat-benvinguts.php and restaurants. We also took the double decker bus tour hop on hop off tour http://www.hop-on-hop-off-bus.com/barcelona-bus-tours and enjoyed it very much. I also enjoyed shopping and markets http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/shopping/barcelona-market.html a good way to sample sangria, chocolate, and local flavors.

It was a few years ago but we stayed at Hotel Jazz! Very Nice and a Great Price! When we go back ;) (wishing) will check it out again!

We stayed at Hotal Ingleterra near Placards Catalunya and the top of the Ramblas. Really wonderful hotel with an excellent breakfast option. However it may be out of the price range. Barcelona is an expensive city in terms of hotel rates.

Plaza Catalunya. Dumb phone.

We booked hotel continental (based on reviews on CC) pre cruise for 139 euros

So Sad, loved the hotel but its already booked :( Thanks for the info though

I'd also recommend the Jazz hotel!

I have stayed at Hotel Gaudi off of Las Ramblas. Nice basic hotel, clean and under $150.00

We stayed here as well when we returned back to Barcelona. We loved this as well as the Hotel Do, but both were expensive but right in the middle of the action.

Tryp Barcelona Apolo looks nice and will be just about within your budget. We haven't stayed there but its on my shortlist for my trip next year.:)

Hotel Jazz stayed there last 3 years:)
