amberben Posted January 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi This will be the first time in Barcelona precruise in Oct... Could I have some Hotels recommend other than the Jazz or any of those really expensive hotels. We are looking around £100 a night hotels...in a safe district. Many thanks Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieLou Posted January 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I stayed at the Hotel Continental near the top of La Ramblas. It is very pink - but the rooms were clean, beds were super comfortable, service was great and they have a 24 hour food and beverage bar with free wine and beer! Check the website - the pictures show the pink! We found it hilarious! Highly recommend. Super close to the Airport Buses and Hop On/Hop Off buses.

MADflyer Posted January 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2016 There are many choices. The Ayre Gran Via can be an extremely good value at times. Some promotional rates can include the excellent 'Spanish style' breakfast buffet. The hotel is at the first stop on the A1 or A2 busses from the airport, has easy metro access and even a bus straight to the port bus, the D20 for just 2 euro per person.

b_cruise Posted January 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Brenda, 100 euros night is my budget as well but I go in the summer so it is tough but I found the El Jardi ...rick steeves had recommended it and I liked it. I love the area (baric gothic) . It is clean, not fancy. I have stayed at Casa maercelo recommended above b & b. It was really good too. I have also stayed at some 250 euro night and I would pick the el Jardi or a B and B any day to save the money. Brenda ( lol...great name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyershane Posted January 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We booked Cuatro Naciones for our Harmony TA. Has anyone heard of that hotel. It has good reviews but would like other opinions if someone has stayed there. Thank you DeeDee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted February 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My husband and I booked a rooftop flat in La Ramblas for less than 100 euro per night. It was a 1 bedroom with a nice bathroom and small kitchenette. But the rooftop terrace gave sweeping views of the city. We used VRBO and had great results. I would say you definitely want to be in the La Ramblas area because its easy access to all of the cool places you need to see. here's a link to the property we booked: https://www.vrbo.com/157504?unitId=157504 Good luck!

gato4 Posted February 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We booked at the Hotel Ciutat Vella for our pre-cruise stay in October. Breakfast and free wifi for $135. It's a small hotel near Las Ramblas and has good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1cruisecoach Posted February 25, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I just booked with points, the Marriott Renaissance Barcelona for 2 nights pre cruise in May. I still have time to cancel so I would really appreciate it if anyone could share a review of this hotel. It seems to be in a good, central location but I have never been there before.

Baseball fan Posted February 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've stayed at the Hotel Continental twice and the Hotel Lloret (across the street). Great locations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted February 27, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm booked at the Acta Atrium Palace pre-cruise in June - got it for 266.54 for 2 nights on Expedia. It's in the L'Eixample area - that area was highly recommended by the guy who I've been communicating with for my Barcelona tours at Rainbow Barcelona.

Be aware both these hotels have steps, so not good if you have mobility issues, but brilliant otherwise. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About how many? So far as I know there's an elevator inside to room floors. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted February 29, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The Palacete from memory (dangerous, I know!!) has about 11 steps from road up to the lift ( elevator) level. I think the Continental is similar, but could do with someone who has been there confirming. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you totaling two sets of steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the Placete's webpage gallery http://www.hotelcontinental.com/en/hotel-continental-palacete/gallery.html It should open with the 'Exterior & Entrance' shots. Look at the right hand one and you can see road level far right, so looks like 6 & 3 up to the level with the glass elevator in the corner.

Miryam1234 Posted March 11, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 11, 2016 hotel Lloret la Rambla was 104 EUR last May. Right on la Rambla, 1 star but it was way better than that. Check tripadvisor, it has great reviews which I can agree. Next fall we are trying Jazz for 3 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sddsddean Posted March 14, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks but we are staying at Hotel Continental, the "pink" one, not at the Palacete. Had a look at the 'Continental' website http://www.hotelcontinental.com/en/hotel-continental-barcelona/gallery.html and it doesn't have any photos of the entrance. You could try e mailing them. BTW, the Palacete is very pink too...looking at these photos I would say the Palacete is pinker...if thats important to you!:D Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend both and the location is great.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
