The Catalonia Atenas Hotel is a three pearl, moderately priced chain hotel not far from Barcelona's famous Sagrada Familia. With a range of room options and pricing, the hotel offers accommodations a wide variety of travelers.

Hotel Ramblas Barcelona is a value property on the popular, tree-lined Las Ramblas pedestrian mall. Some visitors recommend requesting a room with a terrace overlooking the city life, though it can get noisy at night. The building is older and rooms are in need of updates, with some guests also complaining of a smell in rooms. It's worth comparing rates with the nearby -- and considerably more modern -- Hotel Hesperia Ramblas.
