The mid-range Hotel Gran Derby offers 43 spacious guest rooms with thoughtful mid-century-modern details, down to Le Corbusier-style furniture. It's situated on a residential block in Barcelona's Les Corts neighborhood, a short walk from the shops of Avenida Diagonal -- just a block away -- but far from many of the city's main attractions. The hotel draws mostly business travelers, although features such as an outdoor pool and terrace attract tourists looking for good value as well. Guests wishing to stay closer to Barcelona’s historic center for about the same price may want to compare rates at the Andante Hotel, which also has a pool, but smaller rooms.

Like the Soho district of New York, the eight-floor Soho Hotel in Barcelona features a fashion-forward, design-driven feel, with lots of glass, wood, sleek furnishings and bright orange colors. The rooftop splash pool is the star of the show, and features a terrace with lounge seating and a good view of the Gran Via. The 51 rooms are stylish and streamlined, and come with free Wi-Fi and flat-panel TVs. Some travelers may find the rooms a bit spare, but the hotel is a good choice for those who want an upscale yet relatively affordable hotel with a pool within walking distance of La Rambla. It may be worth comparing rates with Hotel Jazz, however, which is a bit closer to La Rambla and also has a rooftop pool.

Hotel Ciutadella Barcelona is a three-pearl tourist hotel between Barceloneta and El Born, a short walk from Ciutadella Park, the zoo, and Picasso Museum. The 59 rooms have a dash of style and rich red colors, and all come with mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. They're also well soundproofed against the busy area outside. Otherwise, though, features are limited. A hot-and-cold breakfast buffet is available, though it can be pricey, and guests will have to dine out for all other meals unless they want room service. Travelers who'd like to be right in the heart of trendy El Born, and have a pool, might consider the Hotel Ciutat de Barcelona instead, which has similar rates.

The Catalonia Born is modern, mid-range hotel in the historic Born district of Barcelona. The simple and bright hotel offers a central, conveniently located home base for tourists within walking distance of many of the city's attractions including the Arc de Triomf and the Palau de la Música. Rooms are modern, clean, and fairly large, although the style is somewhat bland and chain-inspired; all rooms have a private balcony, some larger than others. The rooftop sundeck with a small pool is a pleasant place to lounge during the afternoon siesta, and offers rooftop views of the neighborhood. There's also a low-key lobby restaurant and bar, where a daily breakfast is served for a fee.

The 131 rooms at Citadines Ramblas Barcelona are a mixture of traditional hotel rooms, Studio, and One-Bedroom Apartments located directly on Barcelona’s famous Las Ramblas and minutes from bustling Plaza Catalunya. Major attractions like the Boqueria market and the Gothic Quarter are within a few blocks, and two metro stops are nearby. Studio and One-Bedroom Apartments are bright, stylish, and spacious with full kitchens, attracting tourists, business travelers, and long-term guests, though housekeeping is only provided once a week. This is a great value, especially for the location; those seeking more bedrooms might consider the Apartments Restaurant Hispanos 7 Suiza, while those looking for a touch more luxury might like Suites Avenue, but both are typically pricier.

The budget el Jardi’s two biggest assets are affordable rates and a convenient Gothic Quarter location. Many top attractions are less than five minutes on foot, including Las Ramblas, and it's surrounded by cafes and shops. Amenities are limited and the 40 guest rooms are clean, but basic and small, with cramped bathrooms -- plus some rooms lack windows. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and there's a computer for guest use, plus breakfast is free for bookings made through the hotel’s website. A viable nearby alternative is the budget Hotel California, which offers free breakfast, room service, and a bar, but at slightly higher rates.

The 75-room luxury Hotel Miramar is a bit removed from the downtown of Barcelona, but its hilltop location provides gorgeous views over the city and port. Much like the public spaces, rooms are sleek with modern wood and metal furnishings and high-tech amenities. Bathrooms have large freestanding tubs and separate glass showers, but privacy could be an issue for those with tubs by the bed. The outdoor pool, spa, and dining options should keep guests happy, but fees for in-room water and parking cause some to feel nickel-and-dimed. It's a 10-minute walk down to the city center, but the walk back up a steep hill can pose a problem for some guests. Travelers wanting to be more in the heart of the city near La Rambla should check out the boutique Hotel DO Placa Reial.

The chic, 30-room Hotel The Serras offers modern luxuries in an intimate, boutique setting that’s surrounded by one of the Gothic Quarter’s most popular areas.

Amenities include 24-hour room service, smart TVs, and Nespresso coffee machines, while bathrooms are especially upscale with large, rainfall showers. There are no spa or parking facilities, however, and rates can be double that of other luxury hotels. Another option in the Gothic Quarter worth considering is the Hotel Do Placa Reial, which has a small spa and three restaurants on-site.

Housed in a historic building in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, the 50-room Hotel Suizo is a simple budget property offering decent value. Rooms are decorated in a classic style and feature just a few basic amenities, including free W-Fi, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and hairdryers. Some have small balconies offering views of a quaint street, though soundproofing isn’t great and noise can be an issue. The small on-site cafe has a decent regional tapas menu complete with a few snacks, but breakfast is limited and it's served at a sister property across the street. Competitive rates make this hotel a good pick for couples on a budget, but those looking for something more stylish and modern may want to consider Hotel Denit Barcelona, which is located just a few blocks away and has similar rates.
