Barcelona La Ribera

[hbrote]

Can someone tell me if this is a good location for a hotel after a cruise.

We want to see some of Barcelona before heading home. Any hotel you can recommend would also be a plus.

La Ribera is in the old town of Barcelona and consists of many different neighbourhoods. Some are good, some not so good.

 

Where exactly are you interested in? What made you think of this area?

Hi Carol,

 

No particular reason other than it was in the "Old Town" and though it might be a section of town to visit. I notice you suggest the Hotel 1898. Is this a long ride to the airport, as we have a 10:45AM departure?

 

Thanks for your response.

If you fancy the Gothic quarter (old town) my recommendation would be the Hotel Colon. If you want something a little cheaper there is the sister hotel Regencia Colon.

 

As far as I am aware, I have never suggested Hotel 1898

 

Do not worry about distance from the airport. None of the hotels in central Barcelona are far from the airport and, in this respect, it makes no difference which you choose.

Thank You again Carol, and I didn't mean to say you suggested

the Hotel 1898. It was the first hotel on your list is what I meant. Sorry....

No problem

 

Wherever you decide to stay, I hope you enjoy Barcelona. It is a wonderful city.
