The upper-middle-range Splendom Suites Pau Claris is made up of six apartments housed in a modern residential building on a busy street in Eixample -- it's about a five-minute walk to the Passeig de Gracia metro station. The bright one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are stylishly furnished, with full kitchens and top-notch tech that includes iHome sets, smart TVs, iPod docks, DVD players on request, and free Wi-Fi. The rooftop swimming pool and terrace are plus points, and there's turndown and laundry service -- but the gym is tiny and its limited equipment could use an upgrade. Travelers seeking more hotel-style amenities could try the nearby Mirror Barcelona, which has sleek rooms and a small but stylish rooftop pool with city views.

This tiny, funky 10-room boutique oozes charm and personality -- to some; to others, it's a dated, stuffy property. The interior is chockfull of vintage finds, and rooms have a similar look. Some are tiny while others are more spacious, but all have very small TVs and cramped bathrooms. The Eixample location on the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes makes the hotel a convenient place from which to get around and explore Bracelona. There is free Wi-Fi, but the small size of this boutique property means limited features and amenities. Those looking for a boutique with a more modern ambiance might want to consider the sleek Wilson Boutique Hotel, also in Eixample.
