Modest hotels at Barcelona

Before to come to this page, you may already read my other 2 topics about hotels – one is about cheap hotels and the second is about best hotels at Barcelona. In this article, I will talk about hotels whose the quality can be as good as the 5 star ones and a starting price which is a little higher than the cheap ones.

Like I already told, there are a lot of hotels in this city and my goal is not to write about them but about hotels on which I got positive feedback from friends and from my “terrace” experience. By terrace experience, I mean my night life to enjoy a cocktail on the terrace of the hotel where I am able to estimate the quality from my own eyes and my own ears according to customer discussion.

Depending on what are you looking for and your budget, I am sure that you will find something which will correspond to your need and I only hope that I will be able to help you to choose the good one.

Below it is a little description list of those hotels and all of them are 4 or 3 star hotels. Generally, the starting price is 50€ for a 3 stars and 80€ for a 4 stars – of course, the price is per person and for 1 night. All of them are located around plaza catalunya (downtown) - majority of them offer free wifi and some additional services like SPA, swimming pool...

And I will finish this topic with the Omm hotel (4 stars), c/ rosselló 265 – phone (+34)934454000. I go often there to enjoy a nicely cocktail in a lounge mood and the decoration is very modern – they offer swimming pool, SPA and a lovely terrace.

Just one advice, if you are going to book a hotel located at El Raval or El Barri Gotic district, please be careful because of the many pickpockets around this area.
