Cheap Hotels in Barcelona: Boutique on a Budget

With a seductive mix of Catalan nightlife, cutting edge art institutions, glorious sculptural city gardens and a handy beachside location, Barcelona promises a city break and beach holiday rolled in to one.

It is all too easy to get tangled up in meal upon meal of moreish tapas and nights out on the town so that your travel money suddenly starts to look rather depleted. But, if you want to make some easy cut backs and book cheap hotels Barcelona has a number of stylish properties a far cry from the usual budget price range.

Housed in an elegant early 20th century building on a tree lined street, Casa con Estilo offers guests a more intimate atmosphere than most budget hotels and sleeps up to 12 people. In the stunning Alphonsine-style dining room you are treated to a free and ample breakfast, raved about by previous guests, while the self-catering facilities are particularly convenient for families or travellers looking to pack a picnic or prepare snacks. There are two terraces overlooking the city, the Tibidabo Mountains and out to sea. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, internet and there is a 24-hr reception for any travel queries you might have.

The Praktik Hotel is just minutes from the tube and a short walk to the Barrio Gótico quarter. This fabulous design hotel is an absolute bargain, even for those with the most discerning eye. There is free Wi-Fi as well as a guest computer in the lounge and lockers, hair-dryers and irons are all available too. The beautiful terrace is the perfect place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing and all the rooms offer a unique blend of contemporary and period building features with modern en suite facilities.

The Petit Palace Ópera Garden in a boutique hotel right in the heart of Barcelona’s atmospheric Barrio Gótico quarter. The exciting Boqueria market and cathedral are just minutes away and the city is very walkable from here. The highlight has to be the charming and lush courtyard, splendidly lit at night and perfect for pre-dinner drinks from the bar. Contemporary family, twin or king-size rooms are available, all with Wi-Fi access and some boast balconies and exercise bikes. A buffet breakfast is also prepared each morning.   

A real bargain for cheap accommodation in Barcelona city centre is the AAE Rey Don Jaime Hotel. Some rooms are equipped with air-conditioning while all rooms are en suite; environmentally-conscious travellers will appreciate the solar-heated hot water.
