azgrandmax3 Posted October 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2016 May we will be starting our journey, but need a hotel to stay the night before. Can someone please recommend a hotel with elevator that may fill our needs? Thank You, Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pris993 Posted October 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Have been to Barcelona a number of times. Have stayed at the two Hiltons, one is in the business district... the other on the Mediterranean part of the conference center, love the views here... plan to stay here next year when we go again. The hotel is at the opposite site of Barcelona from the airport to about $40 taxi fare, don't sure what that is in euros. The port is about a $20 taxi fare from the hotel. Another time we stay at the ARTS hotel, upscale Ritz Carlton...we got a good price at the time, new hotel. In a great upscale area, on the Mediterranean. The ARTS hotel is 1/2 way to the port. We have also stayed a a couple of airport hotels for one night, all adequate. We do not prefer to stay near or around the Le Rambles tourist area.. many others do.

jefa Posted October 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Have stayed at Continental Hotel- great location and great price!! I have stayed in this hotel, and it's sister hotel the Continental Palacete, and agree. Love the over the top decor, and the free buffet is great for breakfast and the odd snack.

flamomo Posted October 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Friends and I had rooms at the Montecarlo, which is right on Las Rambla at the heart of the pedestrian boulevard. Nice modern up-to-date rooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable beds ... the kind with the electric controls for raising and lowering the head and foot of the bed; my bathroom had a spa tub, which was very nice after an afternoon of roaming Las Rambla. The hotel has an indoor bar, a breakfast restarant, and a rooftop terrace, and there is a grocery store, the Carre Four, across the street that offers freshly made empanadas and other foods for takeout. We bought some wine there for taking on the ship, as well as some for drinking at the hotel, so we had our dinner of empanadas and wine up on the rooftop terrace, while chatting with some other cruisers who were also staying there. Very pleasant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If you look on the Spain board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=596 you will find lots of info. The Mods will probably move this there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyskie Posted October 29, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We liked the Hotel Jazz - small but comfortable rooms very chic. Great roof top pool, bar, snacks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynbar Posted October 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We stayed at Hotel Colon, across from the old cathedral and right in the heart of the Gothic quarter. Lots of restaurants, shops, and history close by, and very close to Las Ramblas. Loved this hotel.... http://www.colonhotelbarcelona.com/hotel/presentation/ We thought it was worth it to pay a little more for a room with a view of the cathedral, lots of activity in the square and beautiful views.

-Lew- Posted October 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We stayed at the Citadines Ramblas Barcelona for two nights in June and would definitely stay there again. It's in a convenient location, well priced, clean and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted October 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We, as well as everyone else in our party of 10, loved Hotel Jazz We had originally booked at Hotel Colon. At the time, the rates were around 220-240 Euro Hotel Jazz lowed theirs to 129 Euro so we rebooked and stayed there. Jazz is very quiet and a couple short blocks from the main Ramblas area. Right NEXT to a metro station [emoji3] We would also be very happy at the Colon. It is in a charming Gothic area within a 5-7 minute walk to Las Ramblas, but we really enjoyed the modern Jazz Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HleeCruiser Posted October 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We have stayed at the Jazz the last two times we were in Barcelona. Pre and Post cruises. Great location, reasonable price, a fine breakfast and about a $30 cab ride from the airport. Cruise terminal is 15 minute cab ride at about $20 for fare, bags and tip. We will stay there again next time in Barcelona. Very near the La Rambla and Catalunya Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted October 29, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We stayed at the Hotel Jazz last summer due to all of the recommendations of cruisers on CC. It was OK to me but not as nice as I expected. The AC made me cough (perhaps dirty air filters), and the shower setup caused water to easily go onto the floor. Service was good, the hotel felt safe, and it was centrally located for walking. Next time, I would stay somewhere a little nicer, though.

lrockwitt Posted October 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We stayed at Tripledos Bed and Breakfast. It is two blocks from Las Ramblas. Great location. Clean, comfortable, with a nice breakfast included. Would definitely recommend it. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltcal94 Posted October 29, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Renaissance Barcelona was where we stayed. It was a short walk to most of the popular locations from Las Ramblas to the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby too.

CruisingMemories Posted October 30, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hello, We stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast for two days prior to our cruise called The 5 Rooms. Classic place. Lovely hostess, clean. It is off a street, you feel like you are in a neighborhood, then the door opens into a open atrium like area. We took one of the old fashioned elevators up to the place. Price was so much more reasonable than the larger chain hotels. Would go again and highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clmom Posted October 31, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 31, 2016 We liked the Hotel Jazz - small but comfortable rooms very chic. Great roof top pool, bar, snacks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Just back from our Spain/Portugal cruise a couple of weeks ago. I vote for Hotel Jazz also. Great location, wonderful rooftop pool and bar. We had a casual gathering of some of our Roll Call group the night before we boarded at the roof top bar. It was great!
