VALUE HOTELS
Hotel Acta Mimic
These days budget doesn’t have to mean style-less. Here it’s cheap and cheerful as opposed to high style but convenient and with some great common spaces.
Axel Hotel Barcelona
After a major renovation, it’s a bigger, more adult and grown-up Axel, though it hasn’t lost any of the sexual tension and playfulness that made it such a hit with single gay travelers.
Praktik Rambla
Well-designed, set in the refurbished, modernist Casa Climent Arola building, and featuring a huge patio terrace for guest use, this is a gem at its price level.
Barceló Raval Hotel
While some may find its pop-tastic retro-futuristic and lobby bar-restaurant, hip, cool and fun, others may find the location too daring and the extras a bit over the top.
Hotel Silken Diagonal
Going on location alone, this may not be an obvious choice, So focus instead on the rock bottom rates, fun interiors and, best of all, the fabulous rooftop pool.
Ciutat Barcelona
The beige-tinged interiors won’t leave a lasting impression, and the receptionists may struggle with their English, but we aren’t ones to complain with these rates.
