The 12-room Vrabac Guesthouse is a two-and-a-half-pearl option with a prime location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. It's just a few minutes' walk to Las Ramblas, Plaza Cataluna, and the cathedral, and is close to shopping, nightlife, and restaurants. Housed in a 19th-century building, rooms are all individually decorated, with layouts and sizes varying considerably. Some have en-suite bathrooms, some have external private bathrooms, and some have shared bathrooms. All come with minibars, kettles for tea and coffee, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but no TVs. A free breakfast buffet is served daily, but guests who don't eat all they take are charged a fee. Travelers who would prefer something more modern could check out the nearby Hotel Catalunya, which has TVs in rooms but no breakfast.

The 280-room Hesperia Tower Hotel is a luxury property located near the airport and the Barcelona Fair Grounds. With a massive convention center, casual and fine dining options, a sleek lobby bar, and free Wi-Fi, the property draws mostly business travelers. The on-site fitness center is part of one of the most famous gym chains in Spain, and features a spa, group classes, personal trainers, tennis courts, and an indoor pool. However, use of the facilities comes with an extra charge, except for suite guests. Stylish rooms have upscale, masculine decor, with a dark brown, eggplant, and gold palette, high-end amenities, and large windows offering panoramic views (in most). Free shuttle service between the hotel, the airport, and the city center is a convenient perk, but guests looking to explore Barcelona’s attractions may want to stay closer to the city center.

The 81-room Hotel Viladomat is a mid-range property in Barcelona’s sprawling Eixample neighborhood. The location is within walking distance of many of the city's sights, and there are four metro stops within a 10-minute walk of the hotel. Rooms are spacious and clean, though they are a bit dated and don’t make a memorable impression. The same can be said for the on-site bar and the conference rooms, which are nice enough, but only average for a property at this price point. Guests looking to stay in the heart of Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella (Old City) can find similarly priced, more stylish rooms at Hesperia Barri Gotic, which also has a fitness center.

Geared towards gay men, but hetro-friendly too, the adults-only TWO Hotel Barcelona by Axel is an upper-middle-range property situated about a 10-minute walk from the gay area of Eixample. A main draw is the rooftop terrace, which features a skybar, lounge space, and a year-round pool and whirlpool. Wellness amenities include a small fitness area, a sauna, and in-room massages available by appointment. There's also a lobby bar, and breakfast is on offer for an extra fee. The hotel's 87 single and double rooms are stylish and modern, though the open-format design means open wardrobes and bathrooms that lack privacy. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, robes, and nice Axel toiletries, plus walk-in rainfall showers. As an alternative, Soho Hotel is another design-conscious property a little closer to Barcelona attractions but with fewer amenities.

The 64-room Hotel Praktik Vinoteca is a mid-range boutique hotel with an extra-special quirk: a thorough, yet tasteful, wine theme. The sharp interiors include plenty of well-aged wood, cork, and over 900 display bottles that create a polished, bohemian look throughout the hotel. Rooms are compact, but contemporary, with urban-chic details and modern features like air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs. The hotel's Eixample location means restaurants and bars are all around, while Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas are only a 10-minute walk away. Wine tastings attract locals as well as guests, and the terrace is a lovely place to hang out. Travelers who aren't too keen on the wine theme could check out the nearby Hotel HCC Taber, where they will save a few bucks but find rooms with little character.

This modern hotel with sleek decor has a convenient location within walking distance of La Rambla and the port, with the Parallel metro station literally right outside the door. There is a rooftop pool and solarium, though the surroundings aren’t quite so posh. While it offers a decent value for its location, some guests think it lacks the luxuries of a true four-pearl property. The nearby neighborhood is considered up and coming and might not suit all guests.
