Barcelona Hotels | Places to Stay in Barcelona

August 7, 2022 Deane Carmody

Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and the colossal Montserrat, Barcelona's deep historical roots stretch through the ruins dotting the city and the local culture and Catalan language. You'll feel you're traveling through time, whether you're watching popular events such as the colles castelleres (human pyramids) and sardanes dances, or walking narrow, maze-like streets and broader boulevards. Stroll from the Gothic Quarter through Passeig de Gracia, where Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals, and remnants of the Spanish Golden Age and the Civil War stand side by side with surreal and modernist structures by Gaudí and Domènech i Montaner. Stop at any of the numerous restaurant terraces and enjoy traditional calçots and botifarra sausages, flavor-packed tapas, and fresh seafood. At day's end, treat yourself to a refreshing cocktail in one of the many Chirringuitos (beach bars) along the golden beaches embracing the sea.

Lovely calm stay

We had a most delightful stay at Seventy Barcelona. Thank you so much. Your staff were also gracious and excellent, I recall Roberta in particular. Breakfast was delicious, room was beautiful, and our view on the banana tree courtyard felt like being in a mini country home. We will definitely return! Warmest regards and thank you!

Excellent location and Happy hour bonus !

Reviewed By Amesey

Just back from a fab few days in Barca, Praktik Essens is very centrally located and all the metro lines pass through Passage De Gracia which is literally across the road. The hotel was lovely, the room was well appointed and had great styling. We had a room on the 1st floor and there was literally no noise, not even from El National which is next door ( you should check this place out for great cocktails, there are better places to eat nearby). The hotel lounge had coffee machines available all day and small pastries in the morning (breakfast is available from the restaurant next door. Best of all was the happy out from 6-8 every evening where complimentary white, red wine and cava was served along with snacks. Compared to others, this is very reasonably priced hotel for what it offers and excellent location wise. Would recommend getting a metro pass as this is a big city to walk.

Very enjoyable stay at Hotel Astoria

Reviewed By JzmnS

The Hotel Astoria was prebooked for us by the group we were traveling with. It was a great choice as we found it both comfortable and convenient. The location put us within walking distance of everything we needed - restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, and pharmacies. It was also a short walk to the main avenue nearby - Diagonal. If we needed taxi service for longer distances, they were also quick to come by, and an easy return. That said, Barcelona is extremely pedestrian friendly which made walking around easy to do. Our room was comfortable and very clean. We had a double bed, desk and couch along with ample closet space and cabinets for our things. The room safe was handy for smaller items, and larger items could be left with the front desk for safekeeping. The bathroom had nice toiletries and luxurious bath towels. The slippers provided were also a welcome touch. We didn't use anything out of the mini-bar fridge, but we did take advantage of the fridge to chill our water bottles. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. We always felt as though we were being welcomed home whenever we returned at the end of the day. Housekeeping was always very attentive and would ask if there was anything we needed that day. Dining staff were also helpful with any breakfast requests we had at the buffet. Same with the bar attendants when we stopped by for an afternoon coffee, or evening drink. You always had a good feeling when interacting with any of the staff. Hotel Astoria was a great place to call home for the days we spent in Barcelona.

Take photo of charges to room

I have spent hours trying to reconcile an error on my folio. I suggest taking a photo of any signed billing to your room. I have been on phone with Hilton [email protected] and some representatives understand problem but can't fix it. On phone with Hilton Diagonal and representative asked if I wanted to speak with manager after I balked on the overcharge and waited for no one to appear. This was while guest.correspondence was on phone with me. I have disputed the charge with my Bank.

Hotel Colon

There are certain pleasures that are only available to those that stay at the Hotel Colón. For example, waking up early in the morning, crossing over to the window, pulling aside the curtains, and seeing the image of the Barcelona Cathedral bathed in the sun’s first rays. It’s an image that will fill you with energy throughout the whole day! Many of our 129 rooms in the hotel offer this privilege, in addition to amenities such as air-conditioning, telephone, LCD television with international channels, high-speed Internet, safety deposit box, a well-stocked mini-bar, and the finishing touches of a 4 star hotel. If you are traveling for leisure, after a nice shower and a full breakfast, you’ll find it convenient to have the main tourist attractions within walking distance. If you are traveling for professional reasons, having two ample lounges at your disposal offers you infinite options for any event, convention, business meeting, or celebration. In both cases, it’s good to know that, for lunch or dinner, you can depend on the excellent service at the Cathedral 1951 restaurant. All of these reasons make a stay at the Hotel Colón unforgettable. What more can you ask of a hotel?
