Hotel recommendations Barcelona

[jerry]

Going to do a city break in Barcelona anyone recommend a hotel in or near Las Ramblas area?

Went with the wife a couple of years ago and stayed in H1898 which was very nice and is on Las Ramblas. Le Meridien is right opposite and looked good, had a fantastic wine bar with live music which we preferred to H1898 bar.

Probably not what you are looking for but I stayed in the the Kabul hostel some years back, lots of friendly people there. Alternatively try the lonely planet thorntree.

If I were you, I'd avoid Las Ramblas. Its full of counterfeit goods shops, whores and pickpockets.

I wouldn't get a room that faces directly onto the Ramblas as it's pretty busy until about 3:00 in the morning.

Hmm the 3am thing wasn't a problem for me then I was there I was mostly up to 3. Also if you are going in the middle of summer it does get really hot there, approaching 40 in the middle of the day when I was there so you might want to check if the place has air conditioning.

Oh it's not that bad! We stayed just off Las Ramblas in the Ambassador. It was ok, friendly staff. We had to change rooms twice due to an air con leak and a loo that didn't flush, but they sorted it each time.

Some nice hotels listed here which include all prices and styles. Like others have said I think that la Ramblas is not what it used to be.

Has la Ramblas gone down hill then? I was there in 2001 or 2 and thought it was quite pleasant, the only thing dragging it down was the English stag parties.

If you don't mind self catering I would recomend this place...

I'd recommend Hostels if you are interested, its all i seem to stay in when i go to Europ on hols. Lot's of friendly/interesting people if you want to mingle or if not you can just keep yourself to yourself. Some of the hostels i have stayed in, particulary in Lisbon and Prague have been pretty much boutique hotels in my opinion And onlu something like £15/20 a night i was in a group of 5 or 6 though. Hostels FTW
