Hotel Acta Atrium Palace is an upscale, contemporary boutique hotel in Barcelona's fashionable Eixample neighborhood. Its 71 rooms and suites feature sleek, subtle decor and plenty of amenities, including plush bathrobes, minibars and -- in some -- furnished balconies. A spa with a whirlpool hot tub and a pool are on offer, but there's no fitness center. A buffet breakfast is served every morning (for a fee), and there's an on-site restaurant for lunch and dinner; alternatively, light snacks and drinks are available at the bar throughout the day. There's no on-site parking, but hotel guests do get discounts at a nearby garage. Travelers interested in immersing themselves in the neighborhood's vibrant gay scene, or those who want a spot with a good gym, should consider Axel Hotel Barcelona, which also has a pool and a great spa.

The TOC Hostel is a modern two-pearl hostel with a great central location, within walking distance of Las Ramblas and the metro. Rooms are bright and simply furnished, with air-conditioning and many have balconies and TVs. It's a laid-back hostel with a quieter vibe than some, and has a nice outdoor deck with a small seasonal pool and seating. The common areas include plenty of chill-out spaces with sofas and a large movie screen, and the cafeteria serves a buffet breakfast. There are simple kitchen facilities, and an evening bar. It's a top choice that will suit many types travelers, but those looking for a livelier base could take a look at vibrant Generator Barcelona -- though it lacks a pool.

The 106-room NH Barcelona Stadium is located in the financial district of Les Corts, a block away from the FC Barcelona soccer stadium Camp Nou. While soccer fans and business travelers might find the location convenient, leisure travelers may want to consider staying in a hotel closer to major Barcelona attractions. The hotel has a modern, sleek overall feel. Rooms have dark wood floors and pops of pattern -- such as plaid and stripes -- and the rooftop pool, though small, has great views and a streamlined design. There is a tiny, but sunny fitness center and plenty of dining options including a restaurant, lobby bar, and outdoor terrace bar. While Wi-Fi is free in public areas, there is a pesky fee for in-room Wi-Fi.

Located five minutes from Barcelona’s Mar Bella beach, the mid-range EuroHotel Diagonal Port offers 115 simple, clean rooms with a modern, beachy vibe. The hotel is in Barcelona’s up-and-coming Poble Nou district, outside of the city’s historic Ciutat Vella (Old City). There's a metro stop within a seven-minute walk from the hotel that makes trips to the vibrant Barri Gotic in 15 minutes, but the area immediately surrounding the property lacks character and can feel shabby. Guests looking to stay within Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella should try the similarly priced Chic & Basic Zoo, which is more stylish than the EuroHotel and includes extra amenities such as free coffee and snacks.

The 140-room Abba Sants Hotel is a mid-range property in Barcelona’s modern Sants district, just a five-minute walk from the Barcelona Sants train station and the metro. The hotel attracts a mixture of tourists and business travelers, while the on-site Amalur Restaurant draws a local clientele for its prix-fixe lunches. Rooms are comfortable but not particularly stylish and it's a bit of a trek to Barcelona’s main sights. The similarly priced Amra Barcelona Gran Via Hotel is much closer to Barcelona’s historic Ciutat Vella (Old City), and its rooms are more stylish.

For those who wish to stay in an authentic Barcelona property for a decent price, the mid-range Condado Hotel will do nicely. This family-run boutique stands near the commercial hub of Diagonal Avenue, in an area that is residential and a bit removed from the main tourist action -- but not entirely devoid of nightlife. Front-facing rooms may experience street noise from late-night revelers, so light sleepers should request a room in the rear. All guest rooms offer wood floors, neutral tones, flat-screen TVs, and spacious bathrooms, while communal areas feature original moldings and classic furnishings. Great freebies -- including an unlimited supply of bottled water on all floors and Wi-Fi in the lobby -- add up to a solid value.

The upper-middle-range Serhs Rivoli Rambla is a solid choice for tourists who want a Barcelona hotel smack in the middle of the action. Within walking distance of the city's most popular tourist attractions -- including Plaza Catalunya, Paseo de Gracia, and Boqueria market -- and with easy access to public transports, it's a hard location to beat. But all that action also brings street noise, which can be heard in many of the 126 guest rooms. Outdoor spaces serve as the highlights, with a rooftop panoramic terrace and an interior garden both popular with guests. Spa facilities are a bonus. At around the same price, Royal Ramblas Hotel has better in-room soundproofing and a parking garage.

The three-pearl Aparthotel Bertran offers great rates and overall value, especially for extended-stay guests seeking apartment-style lodgings. Located in Sant Gervasi, about a 30-minute drive from the Gothic Quarter, it's a bit removed from major tourist attractions, but public transportation is a five-minute walk from the hotel. Its 30 units are clean and spacious with kitchenettes that include dishware and utensils. One- or two-bedroom units with two bathrooms are large enough to accommodate groups and families, but decor is basic and sparse. While there's no on-site restaurant, guests can order breakfast delivered to their rooms. And the large rooftop sundeck includes a small pool. Travelers seeking to be closer to the heart of the city might prefer the Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel, which opened in El Born in 2014.
