The Leonardo Boutique Hotel Barcelona Sagrada Familia (formerly Hotel Acta 606) is a mid-range hotel that is within walking distance of the city's famed Sagrada Familia landmark, but a bit far from other sights. Though clean and modern, the property feels more sterile than chic. Rooms follow the standard formula for minimalist style: streamlined furnishings and few adornments. They feature a black and white color scheme with red accent walls, and the large, tiled bathrooms have spacious showers, but some lack tubs. Guests who are looking for views may want to opt for a room with a private balcony. The rooftop sun deck offers additional vistas, though its sparse furnishings make for a spartan feel.

The 308-room NH Collection Constanza is a sleek option for those needing to be in Les Corts -- Barcelona's business district. The minimalist design may not appeal to traditionalists, but the open layout and extensive use of glass makes for an airy feel in the public spaces. Rooms emulate this modernist look, with minimalist furnishings and unadorned walls. As expected from the NH chain, all offer flat-screen TVs and spacious bathrooms. City views can be enjoyed from the rooftop terrace, but the pool is far more narrow than the one at sister property NH Calderon. The hotel's spa offers hydraulic water and massage treatments, but the fitness center could use some additional equipment.

The Praktik Garden is a modern and artistic hotel conveniently located in the Eixample neighborhood near restaurants and bars. There is a pretty rooftop terrace, homey dining room, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms are cozy and clean -- though some, especially the singles, are very tight on space -- with fun, framed art and flat-screen TVs. Some rooms have gorgeous, modern bathrooms with subway tiles; others have pretty balconies. There is a pesky fee for breakfast and no bar on-site.

Hotel Continental Barcelona is an old-school two-pearl property along Barcelona’s hopping Las Ramblas. Its 40 rooms are dated, though they're clean and include flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and sometimes unreliable air-conditioning. The priciest rooms have Juliet balconies overlooking Las Ramblas. A top draw are the hotel’s free breakfasts and free 24-hour snack buffet stocked with options including fresh fruit, pastries, pasta, beer, wine, and soft-serve ice cream. Other hotel amenities include computer workstations, a big outdoor terrace, discounted parking, and free Wi-Fi. This isn't a fancy place, but the central Barcelona location is hard to beat. For a central Barcelona alternative with bigger, more modern rooms -- plus a small gym and rooftop pool -- it’s worth checking into Ilunion Auditori. Rates there can be lower, though it lacks the same freebies.

There are just six rooms at this tiny two-pearl property in Barcelona's chic Sarria-Sant Gervasi neighborhood, around 15 minutes from the city center by RER train. It’s far from the touristy parts of town, but there are upmarket and artsy shops and restaurants nearby for those who prefer experiencing a slice of local life.

The property has a communal kitchen and TV lounge, but no other facilities. Those looking to be nearer the sights should check out St Christopher’s Inn Barcelona, which is just off Plaza Catalunya and generally has similar rates.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Sensation Sagrada Familia is located in the upscale Eixample neighborhood, around the corner from iconic Sagrada Familia. The apartments are chic and smart, with muted tones and modern technology including air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, fully equipped kitchens, and free Wi-Fi. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, with sunny and shaded loungers -- plus unrivaled views of Gaudi's masterpiece.

The Hotel Eurostars Mitre is a plain, three-pearl property in the largely residential Sant Gervasi District, about a 15-minute drive to the center of Barcelona.

Guests lament the lack of a bar, the absence of coffee and tea-making facilities in the rooms, and the noise from the hallways.

The Primavera Hostel is a budget property well-located in the heart of the Eixample in walking distance to Gaudi's masterpieces like Sagrada Familia and a four-minute walk from the metro. While there's not a ton of extra features here, there's a nice communal kitchen and chill common spaces foster a social (though not necessarily "party") atmosphere. The property has seven guest rooms -- simple but tasteful and roomy affairs which include doubles, triples, quads, and six- and eight-bed dorms. All make use of shared bathrooms. Staff are helpful, and guests rave about the level of cleanliness in both rooms and bathrooms. Still, it doesn't hurt to comparison shop the city's many hostels; Generator Barcelona is a popular choice in the area -- a bigger property with a bar and more of a hip, party vibe.
