The 12-room Vrabac Guesthouse is a two-and-a-half-pearl option with a prime location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. It's just a few minutes' walk to Las Ramblas, Plaza Cataluna, and the cathedral, and is close to shopping, nightlife, and restaurants. Housed in a 19th-century building, rooms are all individually decorated, with layouts and sizes varying considerably. Some have en-suite bathrooms, some have external private bathrooms, and some have shared bathrooms. All come with minibars, kettles for tea and coffee, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but no TVs. A free breakfast buffet is served daily, but guests who don't eat all they take are charged a fee. Travelers who would prefer something more modern could check out the nearby Hotel Catalunya, which has TVs in rooms but no breakfast.

There are 52 rooms at this two-pearl property set right in the heart of the city, directly on the city's iconic Las Ramblas. It’s a basic hotel with a cafe, breakfast room, and a sunny roof terrace, and while rooms are modern, they are spartan and slightly worn. Air-conditioning and a flat-screen TV are provided, and all rooms have en-suite bathrooms. The property will suit those wanting to be in the hustle and bustle of Barcelona's lively historic core, but it’s not the spot for those seeking peace and quiet. For something with a bit more trendy style in one of the city's most buzzed-about neighborhoods, travelers should check out the similarly priced Chic & Basic Born Hotel.

The three-pearl Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel is a modern and stylish boutique hotel that opened in 2014 in the quiet El Born neighborhood, within a brief walk of many attractions in the Gothic Quarter and the Urquinaona subway station. Its 56 rooms are clean and quiet with a minimalist decor and 40-inch smart TVs. The walk-in, rainfall showers are exceptionally nice, but some rooms are tiny and dark. Notable amenities include a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and laundry facilities, and a lovely rooftop bar and pool with spectacular views. The hotel also hosts a nightly wine and cheese reception. Rates are competitive for a modern hotel in a good location, but the mid-range Nouvel Hotel is also centrally located and offers better rates.

The 40-room Hotel Catalunya is a budget property with a great central location in the Barri Gotic, close to Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya.

Located right in the heart of Las Ramblas, within walking distance of most major attractions and famous restaurants and shops, the upper-middle-range Eurostars Ramblas is a good pick for a first visit to Barcelona. Rooms are compact yet stylish, with minimalist contemporary decor, free Wi-Fi, and LCD TVs with international channels. Limited storage space may be an issue for those traveling with big suitcases, though, and some may find the frosted-glass bathroom doors lacking in privacy. A small, tasty breakfast buffet is available daily for a fee, and airport transfers can be booked at the front desk, but there are no other on-site amenities or services available. In this price range, the upscale Olivia Balmes Hotel offers better value, with a rooftop infinity pool, a fitness center, and a solid restaurant on-site.

Location is the big draw at the NH Duc de la Victoria, as this 156-room hotel sits in the city's popular Gothic Quarter, which is filled with restaurants, shops, and landmark buildings. Rooms are a bit generic, but offer contemporary furnishings, flat-screen TVs, and stocked minibars. Some have small balconies and all have soundproof windows. A breakfast buffet is served daily, which is standard for the NH brand, but the property lacks a full restaurant. Cocktails are served in the lounge, but the lively neighborhood is full of more authentic bars within walking distance. Those guests seeking a rooftop terrace and pool should check out nearby sister property NH Calderon.

Hotel Cuatro Naciones is a mid-range property in an 18th-century building in the centrally located Las Ramblas neighborhood. The hotel's 54 rooms are plain, but they come with big closets, and some have views of the city. Though the location is the hotel's biggest draw, it does come with some additional perks such as free Wi-Fi and a basic buffet breakfast. It's also historic, and in the past two centuries it's housed the likes of Einstein, Stendahl, Chopin, and Buffalo Bill. For a more stylish option, travelers may prefer the Generator Barcelona, a swanky hostel that includes private rooms.

The 81-room Hotel Gotico is a budget option located in the heart of Barcelona’s Barri Gotic, a lively neighborhood of shops and restaurants on narrow Medieval lanes. The hotel makes a historic-feeling first impression that exudes faded 1920s glamour, but rooms feel dated rather than classic. Chic & Basic Born Apartments in the Born district offers more stylish accommodations in an equally central neighborhood, and though it has no breakfast buffet, its Studio Apartments have full kitchens and are a better value than the rooms at Hotel Gotico.
