The 149-room, mid-range Catalonia Plaza Cataluna is located (as the name suggests) right next to the Plaza de Catalunya, a fantastic sightseeing location at the intersection of Eixample and the Gothic Quarter. The area teems with shops, restaurants, nightlife, and people-watching opportunities, with the metro right outside for access to all of Barcelona. There is a lovely pool in the courtyard, where guests can take a breather. Once past the spectacular entranceway, the modern rooms are serviceable, but this hotel is about location, and that is ideal. The nearby -- and more upscale -- Hotel Murmuri and Hotel Pulitzer can be similarly priced, but they lack the Catalonia's on-site pool.

The mid-range Catalonia Park Guell offers 141 tasteful, modern guest rooms, some with large terraces. The hotel's lounge is a bit outdated, but the rooftop terrace with its small plunge pool and panoramic views of the city feels decidedly sleek and stylish. It's located in Barcelona’s Gracia district, and the immediate area around the hotel is quiet and hilly, which may be challenging for some travelers who want to venture out on foot. Guests looking to stay closer to Barcelona’s historic Ciutat Vella can find more contemporary, similarly-priced rooms and amenities at Hotel Lleo.

Like most (but not all) H10 properties, there's a ton of style to like at this upscale property in Barcelona’s Eixample. The location couldn't be more central, with bars, restaurants, and some of the city’s most impressive architectural gems all within a five- to 10-minute walk. The 80 trendy, contemporary rooms come with air-conditioning, Nespresso machines, and free Wi-Fi, though some are compact. The hotel has a good number of amenities beyond the rooms, including a rooftop terrace with a small pool, cocktail bar, and great views over the city. There’s also a lobby bar and restaurant, though breakfast isn't included. Those wanting somewhere with comparable facilities plus a free breakfast should check out the nearby Hotel Barcelona Catedral, which has lower rates but less style.

The 78-room mid-range Hotel Medinaceli, about a five-minute walk to the sea and the lower end of Las Ramblas, is housed in the old palace of the dukes of Medinaceli. The hotel’s historic palace building is impressive in many ways, and several classic details have been preserved in the common areas, but rooms don't quite live up to this elegance, although some have Juliet balconies, and bathrooms are sleekly modern. A hot and cold breakfast buffet is included in some room rates and there's a beautiful reading room under a glass atrium. Guests might want to consider the Hotel Constanza in Eixample, which has more modern rooms and a lovely rooftop terrace and artful details throughout at a similar price point as the Medinaceli.

Not a typical bare-bones basic hostel, the fun and funky Generator Barcelona pulls out all the stops with thoughtful touches and exuberant and colorful decor and design. The features list is big for this type of accommodation, and includes a tapas bar, cocktail bar, continental breakfast (for a fee), TV lounge, reading and game room, and social events with DJs, and art exhibitions. The hostel is actually a combination hotel and hostel, with the hotel wing having its own elevator. The hostel section has both shared dorm rooms and private rooms, while the hotel has private singles and doubles. The five-floor Generator is located in the Gracia District of Barcelona, not far from the Casa Mila, and about a 15-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia. It's an excellent value for budget travelers who want a little extra pizzazz from their hostel -- or hotel.

The Hotel Sant Agusti is a modern mid-range hotel in the El Raval neighborhood of Barcelona, on the other side of Las Ramblas from the Gothic Quarter. Housed in a former convent built for Sant Agustí in 1720, the hotel has a quiet, minimalist style and retains original architectural elements such as wide stone archways. Guest rooms are simple and a bit stark, but they all have flat-screen TVs and plenty of light; some are large enough for groups of six, and others have balconies facing Sant Agusti square. A free continental breakfast is served in the on-site restaurant, which has a lovely terrace on the street. While the hotel offers few standout features, its location makes its a great choice for tourists. Guests seeking a sleeker, more modern aesthetic could try the similarly priced Hesperia Ramblas, which is nearby.
