Let me go on with my own overview of accommodation options in Barcelona.
Like in any other big tourist destination, Barcelona hotels in the downtown area are much more expensive in comparison with uptown Barcelona hotels of the same range. Why not consider staying in one of those pleasant Barcelona hotels in the outskirts of Barcelona if on a budget? You can use taxi service to get to the city sights; you should know that taxi services in Barcelona are heavily regulated by the city, so you can enjoy clean cars as well as helpful and friendly drivers. In case you don’t want to waste your money on taxis, use public transport to reach the place you need. Take the Barcelona metro to get around the city efficiently. If you need to return to your Barcelona hotel late at night, consider using the Nitbus bus line, which is very convenient to travel around Barcelona when it gets late
It’s very important to understand the different names used for accommodation in Barcelona to make the best accommodation choice. Guests often don’t see any difference between a cheap Barcelona hostal and Barcelona hostel, but these terms are totally different. A hostal is somewhat similar to a guest house or hotel, while a hostel is actually a youth hostel, the original Spanish name for which is Albergues Juveniles.
Barcelona hostals are very similar to ordinary hotels and more or less resemble guest houses. Hostals in Barcelona can usually offer similar and sometimes even better apartments than some hotels within the same price range. Usually Barcelona hostals are cheaper than a Barcelona hotel offering similar amenities and services.
I am going to continue my overview in the following posts. I would like to thank some of my local friends for sharing information about Barcelona accommodation types.
Bye for now!
