The splashes of primary colour in the rooms at Ciutat de Barcelona make quite a refreshing
change from the usual monochrome minimalism hereabouts.

An insider's guide to the best hotels in Barcelona for budget-conscious

travellers, featuring the top places to stay for rooftop pools, buzzing cocktail
bars, rejuvenating spas and superb views.
Room Mate Emma

A relaxed, hip place that endeavours to provide guests with the perfect stay at a
more-than-reasonable price. This hotel goes for a space-age aesthetic, all white
and silver with splashes of hot pink.
At every level, staff are helpful and smiling, and the ethos of the hotel is to
provide a range of services not usual at this price, such as beautifully oldfashioned, pastel-coloured bicycles for rent, and a mini-router with which
guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi around the city. The breakfast is cheap but generous,
with hot and cold choices.

Chic & Basic Born

If you don't need a great deal of space, but you do need a touch of style in your
surroundings, the Chic&Basic chain is just for you.
All-white rooms are designed to be as open and airy as possible. The glass
shower cubicles alongside the beds might not appeal to friends sharing, but the
use of mirrors and semi-transparent twisted PVC curtains is both curious and
clever. This is a basic hotel in terms of facilities, so contact with staff is fairly
limited, but those on reception are friendly enough. No restaurant, but a simple
buffet breakfast is available.

Chic&Basic chain is for you.
Ciutat de Barcelona
A cheerfully efcient, no-nonsense hotel, which is mostly no-frills, but has
fridges lled with complimentary mineral water on every oor, and, most
importantly, a rooftop terrace with a Gaudiesque plunge pool worthy of a hotel
twice the price.
The rooms are very simple, with few mod cons other than free Wi-Fi, and the
nishes are a little cheap. However, the splashes of primary colour make quite a
refreshing change from the usual monochrome minimalism hereabouts. The
Komomoto restaurant downstairs serves Peruvian/Japanese fusion and is
adequate if not exciting; a simple buffet breakfast is available.

The rooftop terrace at Ciutat de Barcelona has a Gaudi-esque plunge pool worthy of a hotel twice
the price.
Hotel Market
The hotel has a young, hip feel, with a refreshingly dapper look for somewhere
in this budget range. Surprising small touches include complimentary mineral
water and apples at reception, and there is free Wi-Fi throughout.
The aesthetic in the rooms mixes teak bed frames and oversized headboards
with red lacquered cabinets and portraits of Chairman Mao. The ground-oor
restaurant also combines a designer look with low prices; although the food can
be hit and miss, its hard to go wrong with the simpler dishes creative salads,
pasta and grilled sh.

Hotel Pulitzer
You'll struggle to nd a hotel much more central than the Pulitzer, sitting as it
does just off the Plaa Catalunya. Its large lobby and bar area, with its white
leather sofas and red lacquered cabinets, makes for a cool meeting place away
from the hubbub, but better yet is the roof terrace and cocktail bar; it buzzes in
the warmer months, not only with guests but savvy Barcelonins. The glassceilinged VISIT restaurant alongside the garden has more sophisticated
Mediterranean fare.
Wood, leather and satin dominate the chic but modestly sized bedrooms, while
bathrooms are tiled in dark marble.

Praktik Garden
The entrance and small lobby are wonderful, lled with plants and lined with
books. The rst oor is where it all happens, with the shady little garden that
gives the hotel its name, along with a sunny indoor garden room and a tastefully
eclectic lounge where guests can help themselves to excellent coffee.
Standard rooms are small and face an interior light well, but tall ceilings, whitewashed walls and original features keep them cheerful. The beds are
comfortable and the bathrooms spotless.

Hotel Jazz
An unpretentious three-star hotel right in the thick of things, just saved from
chain-hotel homogeneity by its monochrome jazz theme, and undeniably useful
for travellers with a packed schedule, being close to various transport hubs.
On the roof is a pool just about big enough to swim in, next to which sit serried
rows of sunbeds with a superb view over the rooftops to Montjuc. Rooms have
surprisingly wide beds, and a cheap but adequate breakfast is served in a fairly
spartan room on the rst oor.

Catalonia Portal de l'Angel

The Catalonia chain has a collection of well-located hotels in central Barcelona,
but what makes the Portal de l'Angel stand out is its garden area, with a pool
not that easy to nd in the heart of the Barri Gtic. Catalonia Portal de l'Angel is
located in a handsome 19th-century town house with a fetching atrium.
The staff cannot do enough to help with travellers needs and have plenty of
information on the city. The lobby bar amounts to little more than a corridor
with chairs and is best ignored, but there is a glassed-in restaurant in the garden
that serves light meals.

H10 Casanova
A functional but good-value hotel, aimed at business visitors but with plenty to
keep leisure travellers entertained. The garden-patio has a zen-like area
curtained off for spa treatments, there is a rooftop pool and bar, and a tness
area that looks over the treetops of Montjuc. An air of quiet efciency pervades
the hotel.
The predominant colour scheme in the rooms is cream and chocolate, and a
refurb has seen the addition of 1970s Habitat-style furniture. The Mexiterrane
restaurant, as the name suggests, mixes Mexican and Mediterranean, though not
in the same dish.

H10 Casanova has plenty to keep holidaymakers entertained.
Banys Orientals
Named for the Turkish baths that used to sit in this spot, the hotel is simple but
stylish, with small but comfortable rooms, the sort of staff who remember repeat
visitors and a decent restaurant downstairs.
Rooms are fairly small, though comfortable and not unreasonable for the price,
with boxy teak four-posters, little balconies and a monochrome colour
scheme. There is an afliated restaurant, Senyor Parellada, downstairs, with a
good list of Catalan dishes at very decent prices.
