Right on Plaza Catalunya, Barcelona’s main square, this mid-range boutique hotel is within walking distance of many of the city's major sights. Rooms are small but chic, and some have balconies with views of the namesake plaza. There's also a breakfast buffet (for a fee) and free coffee and pastries are served throughout the day. Guests looking for amenities such as a pool or a gym and willing to pay a little more may want to try the hotel’s sister property, H10 Art Gallery Hotel in the Eixample, or Hotel Espana Ramblas in the Old City.

The Hotel Barcelona House is a contemporary three-pearl property located within a five-minute walk of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. Its 57 rooms are sparsely decorated with neutral shades, though some have limited views. On the downside, noisy rooms and clogged bathroom drains have been reported by past guests. The property, renovated in 2010, offers free Wi-Fi, use of a computer in the lobby, and a simple breakfast for a fee. But there's no full restaurant or bar. Travelers should compare rates with Hotel Barcelona Princess, which has a restaurant plus two bars/coffee shops.

This 58-room boutique hotel in the heart of Barcelona has a relaxed, soothing vibe. The upscale hotel is close to most major attractions, and it's within short walking distance of Old Town and more modern shopping districts. Many rooms have views of the nearby hills. The proximity to the subway system will be convenient for some -- but annoying for others since the train rumblings can be heard from some rooms. The Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal is another good option and is equally well located for tourists wanting to be within walking distance of attractions.

The 81-room Silken Concordia Hotel is part of a small Spanish chain with many upscale features that go beyond its three-pearl rating. It sits on busy Avenida Paralelo in the Poble Sec neighborhood -- filled with trendy shops and old-school tapas restaurants -- and Barcelona’s historic old city is within walking distance. A rooftop terrace with a small pool and pirate-themed mini-golf adds a playful element to the hotel, though its air-conditioned rooms are a bit plain by comparison. Guests looking to stay in Barcelona’s old city might want to check out Catalonia Portal de l’Angel, which has more stylish rooms and similar amenities for around the same price.

There are 47 rooms at this two-pearl property set in the heart of Barcelona. With a style that's far more fresh than competing hostels, the property is mostly made up of dormitories and attracts backpackers from across the world. There are some private rooms as well, although the amenities across the board are basic, with no TV or air-conditioning. The hotel has plenty of features to help guests mingle and socialize, such as communal lounges, a bar, pool table, and an internet lounge. The location in the city center -- just a minute or so from Plaza Catalunya on foot -- is ideal for sightseeing, but those wanting a bit more privacy at just slightly higher rates may want to consider the sharp rooms at Praktik Garden Hotel.

Formerly the Hotel Guillermo Tell, the 61-room Pol & Grace Hotel is a contemporary mid-range boutique hotel in Barcelona’s posh Sant Gervasi district. Creativity is a big deal here, from the vibrant art installations in the lobby to the book swap library, while a free messaging app to keep guests and staff in touch 24 hours a day. The rooms are equally artsy, with touches such as cut-out wall designs, retro furnishings, and bonsai trees. A stay here feels a bit like living among in-the-know entrepreneurs and artists. However, some visitors may be put off by the hotel's lack of facilities -- there's no restaurant, gym, or pool. Guests wanting to be near Barcelona’s beach and who want an on-site pool and gym should try Hotel Vincci Bit for equally stylish and similarly priced rooms.

Three-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Catalonia Avinyo's best asset is its location in the heart of Barcelona's Barri Gotic. Shopping, dining and nightlife are just outside, and there are good public transport links to the beach and other attractions. That's not to say the hotel is otherwise lacking at all. In fact, it's a fresh, modern option with surprising features for this part of town. That includes the small rooftop pool and compact fitness room. The 83 rooms are small, with smart urban decor plus free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Top-level Suites are worth the extra buck, with a sharper finish including robes and large rainfall showers, plus secluded terraces. Guests who prefer a more traditional style could look at H10 Montcada Boutique Hotel instead -- though it's not as central.

The stylish Hotel Ciutat de Barcelona offers a great location in the buzzing El Born district, which is known for its trendy bars and cafes. The hotel is situated on a quieter street and provides fantastic people-watching from its romantic -- albeit tiny -- wrought iron Juliette balconies (make sure to request a front-facing room). On the ground floor, a contemporary lobby opens up to a popular Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant. Another highlight is the rooftop terrace, with its small outdoor pool and distant mountain views. Rooms have light wood floors, bright accent walls, and modern amenities -- but furnishings are starting to show a bit of wear and tear. Nice perks include free Wi-Fi and free bottled water.

The modern 48-room Eurostars Angli is located half an hour by subway from Barcelona's city center in a residential neighborhood. The lobby and rooms have a streamlined look with sleek, dark wood floors, funky furniture, and wall-panel art. Modern amenities include small flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Some guests complain about gentle wear and tear, but the rooms are clean and offer plenty of natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows. Not everyone will like the open bathrooms, though, with frosted glass doors that lack privacy. The highlight of this hotel is the outdoor pool area (a rare find in Barcelona). There is also an on-site restaurant and snack bar. While the Eurostars Angli is a bit isolated from the city center, it offers good value for travelers looking to save some cash.
