There are 63 rooms at this sharp four-pearl property in Barcelona's Eixample neighborhood. It’s a bustling area and popular with tourists who want to reach sights like Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya on foot. Contemporary guest rooms are done in a travel theme that's light, bright, and modern, with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and air-conditioning. Some are small while others have terraces, living rooms, and pools. The hotel has features not often found in central Barcelona, including an outdoor pool and sundeck, and a fitness center. There's also a retro air-travel restaurant and bar. For features like these and a central location, rates are reasonable, but for something with more Old World glamour, check out Avenida Palace Barcelona, which is slightly cheaper and one block from Plaza Catalunya.

There are 52 rooms at this two-pearl property set right in the heart of the city, directly on the city's iconic Las Ramblas. It’s a basic hotel with a cafe, breakfast room, and a sunny roof terrace, and while rooms are modern, they are spartan and slightly worn. Air-conditioning and a flat-screen TV are provided, and all rooms have en-suite bathrooms. The property will suit those wanting to be in the hustle and bustle of Barcelona's lively historic core, but it’s not the spot for those seeking peace and quiet. For something with a bit more trendy style in one of the city's most buzzed-about neighborhoods, travelers should check out the similarly priced Chic & Basic Born Hotel.

A smartly designed luxury boutique hotel, the seven-floor Alma Barcelona has 72 quiet, upscale rooms with flat-panel TVs and free Wi-Fi. Unlike the nearby Claris and Majestic, the pool here is indoors, so weather will never spoil your swim. The rooftop terrace has first-rate views of the Eixample and Sagrada Familia. Style here has a starring role: design elements include fingerprint swiping instead of room keys, and architectural features such as a minimalist light-filled atrium. The Alma is a chic and serene spot for travelers who want Barcelona cool and an Eixample location a half block from Passeig de Gracia shopping.

The three-pearl Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel is a modern and stylish boutique hotel that opened in 2014 in the quiet El Born neighborhood, within a brief walk of many attractions in the Gothic Quarter and the Urquinaona subway station. Its 56 rooms are clean and quiet with a minimalist decor and 40-inch smart TVs. The walk-in, rainfall showers are exceptionally nice, but some rooms are tiny and dark. Notable amenities include a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and laundry facilities, and a lovely rooftop bar and pool with spectacular views. The hotel also hosts a nightly wine and cheese reception. Rates are competitive for a modern hotel in a good location, but the mid-range Nouvel Hotel is also centrally located and offers better rates.

The 40-room Hotel Catalunya is a budget property with a great central location in the Barri Gotic, close to Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya.

Rooms are simple, clean, and mostly contemporary, with air-conditioning, mini-fridges, and small flat-screen TVs. Wi-Fi is also included in room rates. A TV room with vending machines, two computers, and a microwave is the only common area. Guests looking for a few more frills could check out the nearby Hotel Curious, which has an on-site bar and provides free breakfast.

The Hostal River is a budget property with an excellent location in Barcelona's trendy El Raval neighborhood, just off Las Ramblas. It's within walking distance of a number of attractions, as well as restaurants, bars, shops, and the metro. Rooms are simple and basic, but clean, and all have a sink. Some have private bathrooms, though others share a bathroom. There are no frills here, but for travelers looking for a cheap place to sleep and shower in a great location, this is a solid choice. Rates here are hard to beat, though the Casa Gracia Barcelona Hostel in the Eixample is equally simple with a bit more character, though rates will be higher.

This contemporary property offers a wide array of facilities, including an outdoor plunge pool, outdoor spa tub, sauna, fitness room and upscale restaurant. The 97 rooms have modern, streamlined decor, but some are quite small. The location in the financial area of the Eixample district is a little far from central Barcelona attractions by foot, but prices are a bit lower here, and the Barcelona Sants station two blocks away offers access to the rest of the city.

The 70-room mid-range HCC Lugano is near the Placa d'Espanya, the famous Magic Fountain of Montjuic, and the National Art Museum of Catalonia. In a new building along Barcelona’s busy Avinguda Paral-lel, the beige-and-gray-toned rooms can feel spare and underwhelming, especially when compared with the stylish first impression the hotel makes upon arrival. HCC Lugano is within a five-minute walk of the Poble Sec metro station, and it's a 15-minute ride to the tree-lined Las Ramblas. Travelers looking for more stylish rooms in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella -- or old city -- should check out Ciutat de Barcelona Hotel, which has a small, outdoor pool and similar rates to the HCC Lugano

Ofelias Hotel is an appealing three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel in western Eixample, just off Plaza de Espana and a five-minute walk from Fira de Barcelona. It's a bit far from Las Ramblas and major city-center attractions, but the Plaza Espana Metro station is just a two-minute walk away. The 44 rooms have a minimalist boutique look with artsy details, and all come with air-conditioning, iPod docks, and flat-screen TVs. Some feature balconies and/or jetted tubs. The property is a little light on facilities, but it does offer an ample hot-and-cold breakfast buffet and seasonal rooftop plunge pool. For something with a similar boutique feel that's closer to the city's historic neighborhoods, check out the wine-themed Hotel Praktik Vinoteca, which is a 10-minute walk to Las Ramblas, but lacks a pool.
