Barcelona hotels

[FlashF15]

There are so many places to stay in Barcelona.  Where do you recommend pre & post cruise?  Has anyone stayed at Hotel Colon? Thanks!

We've stayed at both the Hotel Colon and it's sister hotel the Colon Regencia, which is located directly behind the Hotel Colon.  IMHO if you cannot get a Cathedral view room at the HC then stay at the Regencia which is usually a bit less expensive. Location is great for both hotels.

Just looked at Colon Regencia & it looks like it's temporarily closed.

I’ve also stayed at the Regencia Colon twice.  It’s a nice, more affordable hotel.  So hopefully its closure is indeed temporary.  The Colon is just around the corner.   I think the location is great.  We enjoyed walking to many things from that location.  And access to the Metro is also walkable, so you can see things further away too.  The Colon looks quite nice, but I have not stayed there.

I have reservations at the Hotel Colon for May.  So far impressed with their service.  If a Covid test is still required to come back to the US in May the hotel is going to make testing arrangements for me the day before I fly home.  They have been very responsive too all my emails.

We just booked the Hotel Silken Ramblas for this coming May. Walking distance to a Paella cooking class we're doing, right off La Ramlas, and a shorter walk to the train that drops you off at Sagrada Familia. We'll see how it goes...

We stayed at Hotel Arc La Rambla.  It was towards the end of La Rambla but we liked the location. Convenient to a train stop (like 2 blocks away).  The food did seem to be the same amongst a lot of the restaurants but a train ride or taxi can fix that.  I have heard hit or miss things about this hotel as far as noise and room size.  We had the 509 Duplex room and it was wonderful.  2 bathrooms, 2 floors, a huge terrace overlooking La Rambla.  I would stay in that hotel, in that room, again in a heartbeat.

We like the beautiful Eixample district with its leafy streets and great tapas.  We stayed at the hotel Dante.

We stayed at Hotel Jazz. Would stay there again.  Liked the location

[Norwich Cruiser]

Hotel Jazz is the best we’ve stayed at.

 

Excellent buffet breakfast 

 

Lovely rooftop pool and bar that also serves food

 

Taxis outside the hotel to the port

As mentioned earlier we liked it but it was awhile ago so you may want to check more current reviews,  it is in a nice area near a lot of the Gaudi attractions.

We stayed at the H10 Casanova a few blocks from Plaza Cataluna. Many local restaurants short distance from front door! Staff are amazing and hotel is beautiful!

is there a hotel within walking distance to the cruise port? Are there any that have shuttles to/from airport & cruise port? I will be staying for 1 night on my own so I would want  one inexpensive & safe

We are staying at the Hotel Jazz for the fourth time.  Love it’s location in the center of Barcelona a few minutes from The Ramblas.  It has spacious modern rooms and wonderful rooftop terrace.  Very excited to be staying here again in July.

Anyone stayed at either Hotel California or Hotel Ramblas Internacional? Both are next to the Gothic area

Hotel Jazz

We are booked at the Hotel Jazz for our 5/20/22 sailing.  Can anyone recommend a clinic close to the hotel for pre-cruise Covid testing?  Thanks for any help.

I looked at this room, it looks incredible for the price! like, suspiciously so. Any cons to staying at the hotel?

Since this was my one trip to Barcelona, if there is a con about staying at this hotel - I don’t have one as long as I am in this room. If you read their online reviews from google many complaints about views from certain rooms and noise but I had none. We arrived at 10 am and they had lockers we could pay for to store our luggage and then we went out and explored for the day and came back later to check in. Barcelona Day Tours picked us up just two blocks away. The subway entrance is also relatively close. I will say again that most restaurants seem to offer a very similar menu so maybe that would be my one complaint.  It’s at the end of La Rambla so taking a taxi to the port the next day is pretty easy. I would make sure it’s in an area you want to be in (maybe read some goggle reviews but all are gonna have some  bad ones) but if the room is available, I would have no problems booking it again. All the nightmares I read about how small rooms in Europe are - this felt like a palace. We also paid for the rate that included breakfast. Had a very nice spread - not sure if that has changed since Covid though. Maybe current reviews would mention that?
