Finding Cheap Hotels in Barcelona

Often it's difficult to track down a cheap hotel in Barcelona using only the internet reservation companies. The reason is that many budget hotels normally aren't registered with hotel reservation companies for 2 reasons:

• They make smaller margins and therefore cannot afford the fees associated with signing up with a on-line reservation service
• On-line reservation companies don't make as much money with discount hotels so they don't spend as much time to sign them up to their databases - this is true for many of the cheap hotels in Barcelona. However, recently, things have been changing and the on-line reservation companies are beginning to increase their portfolios with low cost hotels.

Las Ramblas

Many of them offer hotel reservation directly through their own web sites or you can just give them a call - if you're lucky you'll find someone who speaks English :-)

I have not personally reviewed any of these hotels however they are registered with the Barcelona hotel association which is an official body in Barcelona looking after the interest for hotels in the city. I have also selected these hotels because they are all close, or in the city centre and have a subway stop within walking distance of the hotel.
