The 7 Best Hotels in Barcelona (Updated 2024)

Posted: 2/19/24 | February 19th, 2024

With its world-class food scene, rambunctious nightlife, sunny weather, and laid-back pace, Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Europe. It’s also one of the most-visited cities on the continent, bursting at the seams every summer as travelers come to explore, admire its art and architecture (Gaudi has tons of works here), and eat all the tapas they can.

I love the energy of the city and never get tired of visiting.

While there are lots of neighborhoods to stay in, almost everything you’ll want to see or do is in just a handful of areas. I’ve been coming to the city since 2006 and have stayed at a ton of accommodations over the years.

To help you wade through the endless accommodation options, here’s my list of the best hotels in Barcelona:

1. Hotel 54

Located in La Barceloneta, a seaside area known for its bars and clubs, this stylish three-star hotel offers terrace views over the beach. The rooms have a lot of natural light and minimalist décor. They’re simple but functional, with pops of color that brighten the space and give the rooms a more vibrant look. There aren’t a lot of in-room amenities (no coffee/tea maker, no desk), but there is free Wi-Fi and a flatscreen TV in each room. The beds are large and comfortable though. The bathrooms are spacious and the showers have good pressure, but just note that the bathroom has a partial glass wall so there’s little privacy if you’re traveling with others. There’s a bar on-site, and a continental breakfast (which can be included in the price) that has a lot of options. The hotel is just a three-minute walk from the beach.

2. Hotel BestPrice Gràcia

This budget hotel is located in the quiet Gràcia neighborhood, which is just off from the main tourist areas. The rooms here are funky and unique, with large photographs on the walls (most of which are of famous sights around the city). The rooms are on the smaller size, without a ton of natural light, but they are comfortable and affordable. Basic amenities include free Wi-Fi, a small desk, and a flatscreen TV. The bathrooms aren’t super spacious but they are well maintained and have good water pressure. There’s no breakfast available but there are lots of cafes nearby if you want to grab a coffee. Overall, it’s a comfortable, no-frills spot perfect for budget travelers.

3. Hotel Casa Fuster G.L Monumento
