The five-story Hotel Montecarlo Barcelona prides itself on its simplicity, a theme that extends from its lobby to its guest rooms. It's no-frills, and that translates into few amenities for guests. There's no restaurant, no spa, no pool, and no real public spaces. The hotel offers 55 clean rooms in a location on Las Ramblas that's hard to beat, near Plaza Catalunya. It's outside the hotel that travelers will find the action; inside, the lobby and halls are quiet, in part because the hotel does not allow groups and limits the number of children on property. While the hotel is suitable for either business or leisure travelers, the location lends itself to those interested in exploring Barcelona rather than spending much time at the hotel.

The budget Hotel California offers a central Gothic Quarter location close to Las Ramblas, along with attractive rates. Its 31 rooms are clean and functional, but a bit on the small side. Some rooms have balconies, but views are rather drab, and noise from the busy streets below can be readily heard. Breakfast is included, as is free Wi-Fi and concierge services. A cozy lobby bar is available for coffee and drinks throughout the day. Overall, it’s a good choice for couples and families on a budget seeking a convenient location. For a similar hotel nearby with even lower rates, consider the budget el Jardi -- though it doesn't have a bar and breakfast isn't included in all rates.

Visitors to Barcelona looking for basic accommodations in the thick of the action may want to consider Rialto. Located in the Gothic Quarter and near Las Ramblas and transportation hubs, there's no shortage of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby this three-pearl hotel. All that activity, however, means that noise from outside is particularly loud in the rooms that face the street. The 205 rooms are simple and clean, but not designed for spending a lot of time: Decor is basic and amenities are few. The Rialto is a good choice for leisure travelers, as evidenced by the lack of business facilities and fee for Wi-Fi. There's a wide variety of options at the hotel breakfast, and the hotel also has a bar and restaurant.
