We recently stayed at the Barcelona Hotel Universal http://www.hotelbarcelonauniversal.com/default-en.html and found it to be very nice. Not very far from the cruise port and just a few streets off the main tourist shopping area las ramblas.

NH centro, previously named Duc de la Victoria:

Nice rooms

Excellent breakfast

Rambla 200 metres but still quiet at night

Place de la Catalunya 300 metres

Metro 300 metres...

 

Stayed there several times during city trips, i was never sisappointed!

We stayed at Praktik Rambla - excellent location and the price couldn't be beat. Should we cruise from Barcelona again we'd have no problems staying here.

Hotel Pulitzer was very cool; nice bar on roof, lovely breakfast, decent price. Bath amenities were fig-scented. Off the plaza at the top of Las Ramblas & a core site for transportation.

Hotel 1898...!!!

We enjoyed the Renaissance on Pau Claris...newly refurbed and good central location.

We stayed pre-cruise at the Hotel Jazz off Placa Catalunya. Short walk from the Aerobus that dropped us on the other side of the Placa. Nice clean modern hotel with a roof top pool. Close to Las Ramblas and the metro. Close to great restaurants. Inexpensive.

 

We stayed post cruise at the Hotel Colon. We had a balcony room overlooking the cathedral. Older European hotel. Quirky bathroom. Expensive - 200 Euros a night. Lots of restaurants in the area.

 

Both were great in their own right but if you are looking for more bang for your buck - I'd book the Hotel Jazz.

We're booked to stay there in June prior to a cruise. We chose it for the location and also because we were able to use Marriott points. So glad to read that you liked it.

We have stayed in Hotel Jazz, hotel 1898(beautiful) and Royal Ramblas all good hotels no problems with any of these. I preferred Hotels on The Ramblas may be crowded but central to everything. Have a good holiday.

Hotel Ingalterra.

[New Hampshire]

Stayed in Hotel Montecarlo two times in 2010 and October, 2012. loved the hotel and loved the location, on Las Ramblas, lose o Hotel Catalunya. If I'm ever in Barcelona again, I would stay there again.

[KeywestK]

We stayed 2 nights pre-cruise at Hotel Barcelona Universal last year. Very reasonable rates which included breakfast. Lovely, modern hotel a few blocks from Las Ramblas, near metro, and a short taxi ride to the cruise terminal. Would stay there again without hesitation.

[Nanatravel]

We have stayed at the Hotel Continental Palacete on the quieter end of Las Ramblas. Price includes Continental breakfast, beverages all day including bottled beer & wine, sodas & water. Hotel is 2 blocks from the park. Lovely for a pre-cruise stay.

+1 on Royal Ramblas.

Perfect location at the top of Las Ramblas, minutes from Placa Catalunya where you catch the HoHo buses. On the most active and touristy (in a good way) street in Barcelona. A few minutes by cab from the port. The Boqueria Market is just down the street.

The rooms were very good by European standards. The staff was extremely helpful with information, tour bus tickets and restaurant suggestions.

We felt we had really been in Barcelona by spending some time there.

Can you give us some more information about what you are looking for?

 

For example, how many of you are there? 2? 3? What's your budget? Are you planning on touring Barcelona? Do you want something lively? Hip? Sedate? Modern? charming? Near airport? Near port? Do you belong to any frequent stayer programs?

[Gordoncruickshank]

We have been there. Number of times. The holes on Ramblas tend to be smaller and you are in he middle of te danger area for pickpockets etc. Avoid Raval area. We stayed there for a weekend and had issues with the locals trying to remove phones and it is close to red light area.

 

The other side of placa de catalunya from Ramblas is nicer, quieter and has many good places to eat. Avenida Palace s good but ther are a good number around there that are also good.

Another vote for the Hotel Jazz. Great staff, very friendly. We were able to checkin to our room at like 9 or 10am, well before the 3pm checkin time. Several others appeared to have the same luck. The rooftop terrace/pool was a nice touch though we didn't get to use the pool since it was chilly out the end of October. We walked with our luggage to the Aerobus down at Placa de Catalunya without any issue.

 

The price is also great on this hotel. I would suggest getting a room as high up as possible though, as there's an underground metro nearby and I would presume (though dont know for sure) that the lower floors can probably hear/feel something. I was on 5 and could barely tell if I didn't already know it was there I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Modern, near everything but away from the madness.

Marinaview B&B http://marinaviewbcn.com/ 3 blocks from La Rambla on Passaig de Colum along the waterfront.

[Loonbeam]

Look at Casa Camper. We loved it, it wasn't the cheapest but reasonable (and the 24 hour free light food and drinks offsets some cost.) Just a few blocks from Las Ramblas but far enough away to be quiet. Quirky design (each room gets a 'living suite' with a hammock, TV and Sofa across the hall from it. And top notch service!

 

When we booked it was the #1 on trip advisor.
