Barcelona Hotel Accommodation Guide

Deciding on which hotel to choose from the hundreds of hotels is no easy feat if you are new to Barcelona. Each person has their own individual way for choosing their hotel. To help you find your hotel as quickly as possible we have organized the hotel information in three different ways so you can choose your preferred hotel searching method. You can also use more than one method to fine tune your hotel selection.

I recommend you book mark this page because you will more than likely need to refer back to it during your hotel selection process.

The links below will take you to detailed pages that will help answer each type of question you will have about choosing your hotel accommodation in Barcelona. I recommend you scan each of the titles and the short descriptions that follow to enable you to know if the page fits your preferred method of finding the right hotel for you.

Method 1: Hotels organized by price or star rating

If you don´t care too much about the location of your hotel and just want to stay in a hotel that has a particular star rating (or room rate) then we have organized the Barcelona hotels by star rating below. The star rating of a hotel generally follows the room rate, so the lower the star rating generally the lower the room rates. Simply click on the links to the pages that take you to the hotels star rating you are interested in.

Method 2: Hotels organized by location

We have linked our hotel reviews to a Barcelona map. This way you can see exactly which hotels are in which areas or Barcelona. If you know the area you want to stay in then select the relevant area link below to take you directly to the section of the hotel map you are interested in.

If you do not know which area you wish to stay in then you have two options:

a) You can either read the brief descriptions below for each area and then follow the link to that area. You will then find a brief overview of each area on each page plus there is a link at the foot of each of these pages to more information on that area.

b) Alternatively if you want a much more in-depth overview of the area before you start looking for your hotel you can go to our Barcelona Neighbourhoods Guide that will give you detailed information on each area. Once you know which area you want to stay in your can come back to this page and click on the relevant heading below to take you to the Barcelona hotel map for that area.
