marci22 Posted June 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Go to the Ports of Call boards. Click on Europe. Click on Spain ports. Put "Barcelona" in the search window. There will be lots of recommendations for hotels; this is how we decided on Hotel Continental Palacete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinActuary Posted June 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looking for recommendations for Barcelona hotels please for 2-3 nights pre & one night post cruise. I would read the tripadvisor Barcelona guide to narrow down your choices and then either ask questions there or on the Spain ports of call board on these forums.

peteukmcr Posted June 23, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hotel Villa Emilia www.hotelvillaemilia.com Hotel Jazz www.hoteljazz.com Holiday Inn Express Barcelona City-22 @ http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/us/en/bcnba/hoteldetail Stayed in all of the above and can recommend them all. Hotel Jazz is walking distance from Ramblas, good rates and rooms. Villa Emilia has great restaurant and roof top bar, good price, great rooms. Holiday Inn Express is inexpensive but great value, modern, clean and in a quieter business district but very accessible via subway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy0317 Posted June 23, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looking for recommendations for Barcelona hotels please for 2-3 nights pre & one night post cruise. We did the Hotel Diagonal prior to our honeymoon Med. cruise in October 2007. We booked through RCL and LOVED it. However, it's ultra modern and a bit out of the way. It was very close to a subway station, so we just used the subway to get around. It's also right across from a large shopping mall, where I picked up something I had forgotten to pack and we also had some good sangria one evening. It was a great hotel and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again (however, we're young and LOVE ultra modern hotels!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lais Posted June 23, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2010 We stayed at the Hotel Miramar. Up on a hill that overlooks the port and city, 10 min walk to Las Ramblas, 30 second walk to Hop on Hop off bus, taxis and public transportation. 1 minute walk to the Arial Trams, beautiful park setting. We also stayed at Hotel Jazz after the Miramar and although the Jazz was good it couldn't hold a candle to the Miramar.

KeywestK Posted June 23, 2010 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2010 We're staying at the Hotel Barcelona Universal two nights pre-cruise next year. It got terrific write ups on trip advisor. Several others from our roll call are staying at the Continental and also their sister hotel, the Palacente. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year we (25 couples) are staying at the Hotel Continental (Sister hotel on Las Ramblas) Obviously we all love these hotels!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmax Posted June 24, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Also stayed at Hotel Intercontinental a few years ago. Great location and all that you need for a pre-cruise hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted June 24, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2010 We've stayed at the Regina and the Grand Hotel Central and would recommend both. I agree that Trip Advisor is a better source of info than these boards. These boards are great for cruises but you still have a limited number of people using them, compared to the many who use Trip Advisor when researching various cities.

referee Posted June 24, 2010 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2010 We stayed at The Hotel Jazz for our Sept 09 Voyager cruise. Very modern and beautiful hotel, with reasonable rates.

Alan13 Posted June 24, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sailed from Barcelona in January which was my 3rd time. Stayed at the Hotel AC Villamari near Plaza Espana. It is a fabulous hotel with a great location. Near Olympic Park, several art museums, a 15 minute walk to Las Ramblas, 2 blocks from a subway stop, on a quiet street in a neighborhood with lots of tapas bars and restaurants.

codowngirl Posted June 24, 2010 #22 Share Posted June 24, 2010 My boyfriend and I stayed in Hotel Market in Barcelona a few days prior to our cruise. It is in the San Antono area. Only 20 minutes walk from Las Ramblas and 10 minutes from the metro station. Lovely hotel and the food in the restaurant is lovely. The last time I stayed in Barcelona was with my parents and the hotel we stayed in was H10 Gravina. Not sure what area this was in but it was near to Placa de Catalunya and Las Ramblas.

lovebug01 Posted June 24, 2010 #23 Share Posted June 24, 2010 We stayed at the Olivia Plaza last year. I booked it myself through hotels.com. Very nice. Walking distance to Las Ramblas and right across the street was a tour office. You will enjoy this hotel if you stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubiecruiser Posted June 25, 2010 #24 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We stayed at the Regencia Colon, right across the square from the Gaudi Museum in the Gothic quarter. Rooms were small but comfortable and easy walking distance to the Ho-Ho bus route and Las Ramblas. http://www.hotelregenciacolon.com/eng/hotel/index.asp Aubie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
