Bed and breakfast in Barcelona?

Question

My hubby and I are going to Barcelona in May/June and want to stay in the city centre. I've looked at hotels and they are a bit pricy. Do they have B&Bs or an equivalent? We only really want somewhere to sleep.

thanks

Answer 1

Most visitors stay in or near the Ramblas or in the Gothic Quarter just to the east. This is a good base from where you can explore the city's sights by day including Gaudi's masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Família Cathedral, and Parc Güell in the north. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelo... for more details

Answer 2

try loggin on to lastminute.com and make sure you get a hotel near the las rambla...i was there its a beautiful city ..you will have a fantastic time.

Answer 3

Go to this web site and from there  click on the Bookhostels link,  they specialize in hostels, as opposed to hotels, most of which are a lot cheaper and also tend to be in more interesting or out of the way locations:-

Answer 4

Cool day trips from BCN

1)Montserrat – church way up on a cliff.  Take the cable car.

2)Girona – beautiful smaller town.  Roman ruins, two big churches,

Jewish quarter, banys arabs, you have to go the tapa bar (Tapa’T)

3)Figueres – Dali museum

4)Terragona – very cool Roman ruins (gladiator stuff

In BCN

Olympic Park

La Rambla

Sagrada Familia

Picasso Museum

Discos

Otto Zutts – crazy as h**l on the weekends

Universal – crazy as h**l on the weekends

Mas y Mas – small but very cool (across the street from Universal)

not really a disco.  More of a smaller bar that pump the disco tunes

and people dance in the back.

La Paloma – near the top of La Rambla – crazy on Thursday night (I am

sure it is crazy on the weekends too)  this place is huge.  One big

*** room with a 2nd floor balcony that wraps around the entire big

room.  Very high ceilings.  

Bikini – two large rooms that have a retractable wall in the middle.

One side plays disco tunes and other plays more local dance tunes.

Bars

Margarita Blue – drinks and/or dinner

L’Ovella Negra – many young tourists.   I met people from all over at

this joint.  We went there almost every night and got drunk before we

hit the dance floor.  Carrer de les Sitges, No. 5

London Bar, Molly’s and Philarities – cool Irish bars a block of La

Rambla – Placa Reial

Rita Blue – great dinner place

You must eat dinner one night at Los Caracoles, Carrer Escudillers,

No. 14

Les quinze nits restaurant – Placa Reial (very nice and had an

english menu!)

Answer 5

If you find a good one can you let me know, I'm going in february to met my daughter from a school trip and take her home (to benidorm) for a few days.

Answer 6

hotels in barcelona go from the expensive to cheap and nasty, with not much in between.  A legacy of the olympics I was told, with the athletes' dorms now rented out as youth hostels

Try a double room with ensuite in a 'hostel', not a youth hostel but catalan for b&b / basic accomodation.  Good ones are around the Placa Cataluna / Las Ramblas areas, central and easy to get the metro to the Gaudi / Olympic areas.  Hotel Banys Oriental looks nice.

Avoid the Chinatown area near the port, they rent rooms by the hour there.

Rooms in good 'hostels' get booked quickly, I ended up biting the bullet and paying for a 4* hotel.

Answer 7

central the oasis hotel in plaza del palau is good... its cheap, clean gives breakfast and is a 10 minute walk from las ramblas and nx to the marina! its good for budget i stayed there in november else do check that website!!
