Barcelona Hotels Guide

Hello all those reading my posts!

If you are planning to spend a couple of days sightseeing in Barcelona and if you are looking for a budget Barcelona hotel in the center of the city, then do not hesitate to book rooms in Hotel Cortes Barcelona. This budget Barcelona hotel is easily accessible from the local airport via public transport which frequently runs day and night to Plaza Cataluna and Hotel Cortes Barcelona is within a 5-minute walk from this place. The hotel is very easy to find even for those who came here for the first time. The fact that Hotel Cortes Barcelona is located close to the most popular “must-see” places of Barcelona is one more reason for choosing this particular hotel in Barcelona. Shopping fans would also be satisfied by staying in Hotel Cortes Barcelona: the hotel is in the Gothic Quarter on a busy street in between the famous Las Ramblas and Avenida Portal de L?Angel which is one of Barcelona’s main shopping streets. I should warn those traveling for business that Hotel Cortes Barcelona has no business facilities and internet access is not available. By the way the hotel is not a pet friendly one.

The room I got in Hotel Cortes Barcelona was great for the price I paid (room rates in this Barcelona hotel are comparatively cheaper than in most other Barcelona hotels of the same rank). My room faced the street, but it wasn’t noisy at all because of double-glazed windows. My accommodation was equipped with air conditioning, direct dial telephone, desk, safe, colour TV and heating – basic amenities, but everything worked. Breakfast was enough to start your day off and it was included in the room price.

I found Hotel Cortes Barcelona to be relatively cheap and pleasant to spend a couple of days.

Hello, friends!

A close friend of mine has just come back from Barcelona where he spent a couple of days on some business purposes. He has kindly agreed to share information about Barcelona hotel where he stayed during his visit.

U232 Hotel Barcelona, a 4-star hotel, is probably one of the most well-known hotels in Barcelona. U232 Hotel is its new name (the previous was Nunez Urgell Hotel), that’s really an abbreviation for its address (Comte d’Urgell, 232). Quite recognizable name for a hotel, I suppose. U232 Hotel in Barcelona is a perfect inexpensive Barcelona accommodation for those who used to a certain level of comfort and prefers to settle in the center of the city. U232 Hotel Barcelona is conveniently located both for business and leisure travelers - in the heart of the business and commercial area of Barcelona, and within short walking distance to Pedrera, Casa Batllo, Palau Robert, Casa Fargas, Casa Ametller, Casa Lleo Morera, Casa de les Punxes, Casa Calvet, and of course, the unforgettable Plaza Cataluna, in other words, hotel guests are near the most important tourist attractions of Barcelona. Public transport is also within easy reach from U232 Hotel.

My friend’s room facing Urgel road was nice – comfortable bed, good size bathroom and mini bar restocked daily (good choice of drinks and the prices were quite reasonable). All facilities worked properly except the air conditioner which was not powerful enough, and there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Friendly staff of U232 Hotel Barcelona was always ready to help; good breakfast (not included in the room rate) and free internet access in public bar lounge are some of the good points.

All in all, U232 Hotel Barcelona is a good hotel for the price you pay, it is not cheap, of course, but reasonably priced.

Bye!

My today’s post will be about Hotel Reding Barcelona, a very nice budget Barcelona hotel. I discovered this pleasant Barcelona hotel during one of my first visits to the city. The firs thing I liked about this hotel was its central location and close to the place of my work. That was the reason why I booked an apartment in this hotel. On my arrival I was pleasantly surprised that in spite of the fact that Hotel Reding Barcelona was located less than five minutes walk from the main street of the city (Gravina, 5-7 Barcelona), it was very-very quiet. I had a room on the first floor at the back of the hotel and still could hear no noise at all.

There were many businessmen in the hall of the hotel, so I think Hotel Reding Barcelona is a convenient accommodation option for business travelers as well. Checking-in was quick, thanks to the woman at the reception desk (I was very tired after a sleepless night on the plane). By the way, all the hotel staff speak excellent English, so you won’t have any language misunderstandings.

The first thing I checked in my room was the bathroom as I was dreaming of taking a shower. The bath, fitted with shower, was spotlessly clean, but quite small. Then I went to bed and I must say that the bed in my room was very comfortable, I had a restful sleep.

Hotel Reding Barcelona is a 3-star hotel, and even though it is quite cheap in comparison to other Barcelona hotels of the same star rating, it was very well equipped: air conditioning, mini bar, radio, TV and a hairdryer in the bathroom.
Buffet breakfast was good but it was not included in the room rate and cost somewhat around EUR 14 per person. There also was a cozy cafe downstairs.

So, if you are looking for a comfortable and not too expensive hotel in the city center, I think Hotel Reding Barcelona is a good choice.

Bye!
