The 10-floor, 108-room U232 Hotel is a stylish, contemporary hotel in the L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample section of the western Eixample. It's a little far by foot from central Barcelona attractions like La Rambla and Sagrada Familia, but luckily a metro stop is one and a half blocks away for easy access to the rest of the city. While there's no pool, guests do enjoy well-designed and tech-equipped rooms, a sun deck with city views, a big breakfast buffet (for a fee), small fitness room, and inviting library/computer room. A stay here is good value, since the extra distance from the city center equals lower nightly rates.

Hostal Fernando is a two-pearl hostel in the Gothic Quarter, a five-minute stroll from the Liceu Metro station. The hostel is clean and well-maintained, and has a crisp, contemporary look in its public spaces. It offers a free continental breakfast, cafeteria-style restaurant, and there's a bar and cafe. The 38 budget-basic rooms come with air-conditioning, safes or private lockers, en-suite bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Regular hotel rooms have flat-screen TVs. Some rooms are quite small, though dorm rooms are handy for the truly budget conscious. Travelers who'd like a little more charm with their wallet-friendly lodging might consider the Primavera Hostel instead, in the Eiaxmple and closer to Sagrada Familia. However, rooms lack basics like air-conditioning and TVs.

In the middle of downtown Barcelona’s most bustling pedestrian zone, Royal Ramblas Hotel is a modern, convenient pick steps from the subway, buses, and Plaza Catalunya. Considering the wall of people on Las Ramblas throughout the day and night, outside noise is surprisingly minimal from the sound proofed rooms, which are clean and modern, but on the small side. There is a bright, adjacent restaurant with quality food and a big breakfast buffet. This hotel is attractive but basic -- there's no fitness center and English TV channels are limited.

The mid-range Apartaments Marina offers reasonable rates in a central location near the iconic Sagrada Familia, numerous restaurants, and metro stops. The 20 residential-style apartments are spacious and clean with modern decor, fully equipped kitchens, and upscale touches like marble floors and bathrooms. Amenities are sparse but include attached parking, 24-hour front desk, concierge services, and valet dry cleaning and laundry. The free Wi-Fi is spotty, but guests can upgrade it for a daily fee. Noise from the busy street below reaches the units, but it’s not a deal-breaker for most guests. The property offers great value for both extended and short stays. But travelers might want to compare rates with the ILUNION Auditori, a comparably priced property with a restaurant and pool that’s closer to the Gothic Quarter.

The upper-middle-range Barcelo Sants sits atop the Sants train station, the city’s main rail hub, where two metro lines and several national and international rail lines converge. Its ultra-modern and quirky space-station theme can be fun, although it's not for everyone. With its large inventory of event space and location, the hotel is popular with conference attendees. And business travelers appreciate its proximity to the financial district of Les Corts. Its 378 rooms are sleek, clean, and minimalist with minibars and free Wi-Fi, but the open bathroom layout might compromise privacy for some. Dining options are multiple and varied, and there is a nice fitness center and sauna, but access comes with a fee. Travelers could also consider the nearby mid-range Abba Sants Hotel, which has lower rates but less personality.

The 143-room Ibis Barcelona Meridiana is a budget hotel that's a bit removed from the main tourist sights, though these can be accessed in about 30 to 45 minutes via public transportation. While this is a low-frills property, it's surprisingly clean and modern for a budget hotel, with pleasant, comfortable rooms equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- but they lack coffee/tea facilities and mini-fridges. The hotel serves a daily breakfast buffet (for a fee) and has a lobby bar that's open 24/7. Though there are few on-site features, the surrounding entertainment and shopping complex has a lot to offer. For something closer to the city center, travelers might want to check out Ibis Barcelona Pza Glories 22, another budget option from the Ibis chain that offers similar amenities.

The NH Barcelona Diagonal Center is a comfortable mid-range hotel, but its location outside the city center may put some guests off.

For travelers willing to sacrifice some amenities for a central location, Hotel Santa Agusti is a good alternative with a free breakfast.

This upscale, 22-room hotel is located in the historic Gothic Quarter and housed in two buildings, one that dates back to the 12th century. Though there's no spa or pool, the hotel is gorgeously decorated with art and modern furnishings. The rooftop garden is a highlight and contains various seating, including hammocks, positioned in a feng-shui style. Rooms are spacious and filled with simple, stunning decor, but some experience outside noise and lighting is very dim. The on-site restaurant receives good reviews and a welcome drink is a thoughtful touch. It's a great pick for tourists who want a boutique-style property that's centrally located.

The upscale 77-room Granados 83 is located in Eixample, near many tourist sights and within easy walking distance of Passeig de Gracia. Both the public spaces and rooms feature earth tones and gorgeous Hindu and Buddhist artworks. Ranging from tiny single rooms to duplex and family rooms, they all feature flat-screen TVs and modern bathrooms; however, some are dark and experience noise. Bathrooms with plush robes and ample amenities are a luxe touch, but the clear door separating it from the bedroom could cause a privacy issue for some. The 8 Terrace Bar is a popular spot for a cocktail and the adjacent pool is really only large enough for dipping toes. Although there's free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, breakfast and parking will cost you.
