The 84-room Catalonia Portal de l’Angel is a solid mid-range property with a few wonderful perks. It is housed in a beautiful 19th century palace, and even though it has been renovated, most stately features remain, including a grand marble staircase, an expansive garden, and a neoclassic facade. Rooms are a good size (at least by Barcelona standards), clean, and come equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and marble bathrooms. But the highlight here is the courtyard, which features a lovely pool and palm trees. The restaurant is housed in a glass-enclosed terrace overlooking the patio, and serves a plentiful breakfast buffet. The location, in the Gothic Quarter and a few blocks from the airport bus stop, is ideal for exploring the sights on foot.

The 101-room H10 Cubik is an upper-middle-range option with an excellent location on the edge of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Plaza Catalunya and the cathedral are a short walk away, and restaurants, bars, shops, and other attractions are all around. Although some rooms are a bit small and face an interior courtyard, they're stylish and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning. Some have furnished balconies. Breakfast is served daily for a fee, but the hot spots here are the hip lobby bar and the rooftop bar and terrace with a plunge pool. Views of the city from up there are stunning. As an alternative, the Hotel Indigo Barcelona - Plaza Catalunya also features modern decor with funky design elements. Rates there are usually similar.

This modern 71-room hotel sits quietly on a quaint residential street in the Gothic Quarter, conveniently located near great shopping and dining as well as many tourist attractions. For guests who don't want to walk or take public transportation, there is a car rental place conveniently located right on-site. The hotel's decor is similar to many others in the area -- minimalist and sleek, with lots of gray and white. Better than most, though, is the rooftop pool, which is large and attractive with nice lounge seating as well as comfy round chairs. There's a good brasserie for dining, but guests can just venture outside to find multiple options for lunch and dinner. This is a solid option for anyone looking to sightsee and relax at the same time.

Two-pearl Kabul Hostel is a self-labelled party hostel which sits on Placa Reial -- one of the top spots for nightlife in the city -- and just steps from lively Las Ramblas. There's a casual, pub-like style throughout the common spaces, which are outfitted with games, vending machines, and internet stations, plus a bar on the rooftop terrace. The 24 air-conditioned dorms are simple, but include welcome touches like curtained bunks and outlets inside the lockers. Dorms come in a range of configurations, such as twin and female-only dorms, and the largest has 22 bunks. This is a good value for its central location, but travelers wanting a quieter vibe in a similar area might prefer Pension Segre, which has some en-suite rooms, though rates are higher.

The mid-range Flor Parks Hotel offers a great location on Las Ramblas, about a one-minute walk to the Liceu metro station, a short walk to the Mercada de la Boqueria, Placa Catalunya and other sights. Renovated in 2010, it’s a basic yet tidy and quiet hotel with a chic sundeck. The adjacent restaurant and lounge will deliver breakfast to guests' rooms, and serves meals and cocktails throughout the day. Its 26 rooms are rather narrow with ho-hum decor, but they're clean and have mini-fridges and spacious marble bathrooms. Reasonable rates make the Flor Parks a solid choice for anyone seeking to stay on Las Ramblas. But the Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel in El Born offers more modern and stylish accommodations, and a rooftop pool, for only slightly higher rates.

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.
