Barcelona Hotels Guide

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.

I haven’t written for a long time, but now I am back and I continue reviewing Barcelona accommodation options for people coming to the capital of Catalonia.

Five-star Barcelona hotels usually have more spacious apartments in comparison to mid-range Barcelona hotels. Rooms and public areas of luxurious hotels are stylishly decorated by famous designers; apartments are luxuriously furnished and equipped with the best modern facilities including safes. Barcelona Apartments here meet the highest international standards. There are en-suite bathrooms with baths and thermostatically controlled showers, bathrobes, toiletries and fresh towels. Guests can order room service with meals until 11 p.m.; turndown service is also available on request.

Top-end Barcelona hotels usually have indoor swimming pools and gyms with exercise facilities and professional staff. More and more five-star Barcelona hotels have their own spas. There are usually one or even more restaurants in such hotels. They offer menus with a diverse range of traditional and European dishes; wine lists are usually also impressive. Meals are cooked by famous chefs and presented to an excellent standard using high quality ingredients.

Barcelona hotels have their own unique styles and offer a wide range of services and comforts so that hotel guests could feel completely at home. All top-end hotels in Barcelona offer top-quality services and professional customer assistance, which meet European standards of quality.

I will continue reviewing Barcelona hotels and other types of budget Barcelona accommodations in my future posts. I am waiting for your opinions as well.

Bye!

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”.
