Where are the best places to stay in Barcelona?

2. Eixample district in Barcelona: by staying in the Eixample district, you’ll be close to many other tourist attractions, such as Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and the famous Sagrada Familia. The area is divided into three neighborhoods: Dreta de L’Eixample, Sagrada Família and Sant Antoni.
3. Vila de Gràcia in Barcelona: this is a perfect option for those who want to enjoy the nightlife in Barcelona, as it is full of bars in the upper part of the city. This option is, however, a little further from the center, so if you want to stay in Vila de Gràcia, we recommend that you stay close to the metro.
4. El Born in Barcelona: the small area of El Born is very charming, made up of small streets and a landscape that also harks back to ancient times. It’s an area with restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as being very close to the center and Barceloneta beach.
5. El Raval in Barcelona: this neighborhood is also located in a historic area of the city and is very close to several other tourist attractions in Barcelona. What’s more, the El Raval neighborhood is known for having very good, yet simple and satisfactory accommodation in terms of value for money.
6. Barceloneta area in Barcelona: another excellent place to stay in Barcelona is Barceloneta Beach, with several options for hotels overlooking the sea. There, you’ll be close to the city’s main attractions and the metro allows you to reach more distant areas, such as the Sagrada Familia.
7. Las Ramblas in Barcelona: the Las Ramblas area is very famous in the city and very busy, full of tourists. The area also has excellent transport links.
Top tip for finding good hotels at incredible prices in Barcelona
To find the best hotels in the best areas of Barcelona, our tip is to use this Barcelona Hotel Finder. We always use it because it’s the largest hotel booking site in the world, super reliable and safe. What’s more, it has the opinions of tourists who have already stayed in the hotels, which helps a lot when evaluating each one.
When making your purchase, after a search, the tip is to filter by “Neighborhood” (to select the regions you are looking for), and by “Guest reviews”, putting “Very good upwards”. In addition, this search engine offers free cancellation for most hotels.
The tip is to check, in the search, the hotels that have “Free cancellation” written on them. That way, you can book your hotel on the spot to guarantee the price (since they change from one day to the next, and the best hotels sell out quickly), and if you later find a better one, or don’t want to stay there, just cancel.
