Barcelona Hotels Guide

I have received a lot of letters with Barcelona hotel reviews recently, but I had no time to publish them as I was very busy studying. I really apologize and now start publishing your letters. Many thanks to all those people who decided to share their Barcelona hotel experiences!Here is a letter from Adam where he reviews budget hotel in Barcelona - Hotel Principal.

“We decided to spend our vacation in Barcelona this year as both my wife and I are keen on Gaudi’s architecture vastly represented in the city. We planned a 10 day vacation in June. We booked a room for two adults and our 15 year old son in Hotel Principal in Barcelona because we have heard and read some good reviews about this budget Barcelona accommodation. We e-mailed requesting a quiet room with a balcony, which we did receive on our arrival. The room was of decent size. There was a TV set, tea & coffee making facilities, nice big bathroom with some toiletries and hairdryer provided. The beds were more than comfortable with fresh bed-linen. Everything including the furniture looked very new and clean, with very pleasant decor. The room was properly air-conditioned, which is very important if you travel in summertime. Room service was excellent.

Breakfast wasn’t included and cost EUR 9.00 per person. It was ordinary and sometimes we opted to have a light snack outside hotel – there were numerous cafes and restaurants nearby Hotel Principal.

Hotel Principal is a hotel in the center of Barcelona, in easy walking distance of the famous Ramblas, a selection of museums and other places of tourist interest. It was also easy to get to Gaudi’s architectural sights by public transport.

Overall we spent a wonderful time in Barcelona and enjoyed our stay in Hotel Principal.”

I have recently received a letter from a traveler to Barcelona with information about Husa Oriente hotel in Barcelona. Thanks for the information and, as I promised to publish such letters, here it is.“We booked on-line after looking at various different sources for convenient and cheap accommodation in Barcelona and decided on this one for our trip to Barcelona. Our choice was Husa Oriente hotel in Barcelona because of its central location right on La Ramblas. This hotel was within walking distance to sights, great food, shopping, and the metro. Some hotel reviews, which we read while planning our trip, contained information about the noise from the street, and we were worrying about that. Fortunately, the outside noise wasn’t a problem for us at all.

We booked a double room. It was fantastic: spacious enough for us to move about and all our luggage and it was very-very clean. We had a small balcony overlooking La Ramblas. Amenities were just very basic - no fancy extras, but you get what you pay for: Husa Oriente is a budget Barcelona hotel. In the bathroom there was a powerful walk-in shower but not many toiletries, so bring your bath extras with you.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. When my wife asked for some extra pillows, housekeeping staff were very quick to bring them.

Breakfast was not included with our room and costs EUR 12.84 per person. Breakfast was served in the elegant dining room and contained a large selection of food which was all fresh.

We had a great time in Barcelona and recommend that inexpensive Barcelona hotel as it was really cheap and nice.

One of my relatives has visited Barcelona recently and keeping in mind my interest in Barcelona accommodation, he sent an e-mail with the hotel review. I am going to cite parts of his letter here. Thanks him!“So, I went to Barcelona for a short break with Stacy, she has never been there and I decided to show her some of Barcelona sights. I booked a room in Ciutat De Barcelona, 3-star Barcelona hotel in Princesa 33-35. I had received favorable reviews of this budget hotel in Barcelona from some of my local friends and I didn’t look for any other hotels in Barcelona. And I really enjoyed this cheap Barcelona hotel.

Ciutat De Barcelona was in a great location. The hotel is not far from the airport (you should take the train to Estacio de Franca and then walk for about five minutes to the hotel). Jaume metro station is in a 5-minute walk. La Rambla and very busy main shopping area is reachable on foot. There are also plenty of bars, restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques near the hotel. All in all, the location is very convenient for exploring the city.

Our room was spacious and comfortable with all the basic 3-star hotel facilities; king-size bed was a pleasant surprise. A lady at the front desk offered us a room at the front of the hotel overlooking the street, but we didn’t like it because of the bath absence (only shower). Then she kindly offered another room which overlooking a courtyard, so it was very quiet all day and night long. The terrace and the pool area of the hotel were great; we spent a few pleasant hours swimming there.

Buffet breakfast was not included in our room rate and we paid extra EUR 10.25 per person for our food which was very good.

We liked Ciutat De Barcelona and recommend it for your frequent leisure and business trips”.
