TripAdvisor might help, too.  Is there a roll call for your cruise?  If so, folks there might be able to make suggestions.  EM

There is a thread about hotels in Barcelona just a little bit lower.

 

In general you can use just any hotel booking portal and pick something that fits your price range. I just recommend to stay in the centre around the Barri Gothic and the Ramblas. There you do not find so much American chain hotels but more typical local ones and can walk to many sights and restaurants.

We loved the Curious hotel  in Barcelona  room nothing special  but close to everything and free breakfast 

[mskaufman]

We have stayed at Hotel Jazz, Avenida Palace, Meridien.  All worked just fine.

If you are spending a couple of days in Barcelona, I recommend the Gothic quarter.  We stayed at the Gran Barcino Hotel, which was convenient to everything, but otherwise unremarkable.    I did not like the vibe on the Ramblas and would not choose to stay there.

 

If you are coming into the city for one day primarily to make sure you don't have to hurry to the cruise (as flying in on the day of embarkation can be risky), I'd suggest staying at a hotel at the main train station, which is easy to get to from other cities or from the airport and is an easy taxi ride to the port the next day.   We stayed at Hotel Barcelo Sants, which is at the train station (you need to go out one door and back in another, but otherwise is really is right there) and was clean and well-priced.  It was also walking distance from one of our favorite restaurants of all time, Petit Pau.

Will be staying 1st time at Hotel Continental Palacete on Las Ramblas.  Old world style hotel.  Reasonable rates.

[KeroTravel]

For our upcoming trip in April 2023 we'll be staying at Avenida Palace for 3 nights before sailing on Symphony.  Very reasonable and the reviews were generally positive.

We stayed here in 2016 and dream of going back. It is not a typical american hotel. We LOVED it and the staff that worked there.

Hands down...The Majestic

Aloha: We will be staying at the Hotel Colon. Cathedral view room in April 2023, coming in two days early before heading out on the Riviera. It looks fabulous.

We have stayed at the Avenida Palace and also have positive things to say.  It was close, but not on the Ramblas so it was a little quieter and closer to the Gaudi houses.

This will be our second time to Barcelona.  We don't mind the short walk to Las Ramblas, if we need to.  We chose Avenida this time around, because its closer to some of the sites we didn't have a chance to see last time.

We have booked Hotel Granvia, but have our eyes on Hotel Jazz if it opens up for our dates.

Above is a link to more hotel recommendations.

Hotel Jazz. Near everything.   Fyi...very deep tub/shower with no grab bars. Had knee replacement and literally couldn't get leg out. Lovely gentleman at reception said they do have handicapped rooms...I would ask for that next time.

We stayed 4 days prior to our cruise earlier this year at Iberostar Selection Paseo de Gracia that is located at the  Placa Catalunya. It's a 4-star hotel close enough to Las Ramblas for easy access. There are lots of wonderful restaurants within a short walk and it's very close to many popular sites. It has a rooftop terrace with pool, a restaurant (wonderful breakfast though it does cost extra) and a fabulous staff who went above and beyond for us this past spring. Our room was comfortable and spacious.

 

We were so impressed that we're going back there with some dear friends of ours for another 4-day stop before our cruise out of Barcelona in 2023.

 

It's not cheap but we felt it was a good value for what we received.
