The mid-range Hotel Acta CITY47 offers 80 contemporary rooms in Barcelona’s busy Sants neighborhood. Most of Barcelona’s historic sights are 10 minutes away by metro, but Sants has its own attractions as the area's former factories have been converted into art and performance spaces. The city’s main train station and the metro, shops, and restaurants are within a six-minute walk, and these rooms can be a great value. But guests looking to stay closer in the historic Ciutat Vella (the old city) might want to try Grupotel Gravina, which has similar amenities and straightforward, minimalist style at similar rates.

The upscale, 135-room Hotel Barcelona Center is a good choice for travelers who want to be near the city's major attractions -- you really can't get more central than this. The building itself is striking, with marble black-and-white checkerboard floors and gilded ceilings, carved with stately crown moldings. The rooms are spacious and modern (with flat-screens and free Wi-Fi), and suites are available. The highlight here is the rooftop terrace -- it's huge and has two Jacuzzis, and comfy sunbeds where guests can relax and take in views of the city. One possible downside is that the restaurant, though delicious, is expensive -- but there are plenty of tapas joints and other restaurants right by the hotel.

Bonanova Park is a homey two-pearl property in a residential Barcelona neighborhood outside of the city center. Its 60 rooms are tidy and simply furnished, with amenities that include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but they're small and decor is dated. Features are limited to a breakfast that's available for a fee, but some guests remark that it's overpriced and poor quality. The hotel's biggest selling point is its low price. Tourists might be inclined to check out El Jardi, a two-pearl property in the city center with a similar style and a free breakfast with direct booking, but street noise can be an issue here.
