Help in Barcelona

[ja940]

We will be in Barcelona for two nights, precruise, and are considering Le Meridian, any comments? We are also in need of guide to take us around. We are a family of four and like to take a private car around so we can stop when we want and spend extra time when we choose. Any help out there?

Wow, this board is great, this will be our 1st cruise to Europe and we have booked a night at the end of our cruise in Le Meridian in Barcolona.

Hopefully the replies will be positive for both of us.

We are sailing on the 9/30 cruise with RC

I am planning to stay in Barcelona for a few days per cruise.... I am looking for hotel and Le Meridian cost 1015 Euro for 3 nights....wow...it is more expensive than the cruise itself....i need to look for some cheaper alternative.....

Check out Hotel 1898 and Hotel Jazz, both are getting much higher marks then Le Meridean and are often alot cheaper! I hear mixed reviews about Le Meridean.

In the past, we used a B&B.

The name is

Barcino147.com

 

It is very nice and the owner, Fernan, was very accommodating. I believe it was 95 euros for the room. Ask for Lois from San Antonio!

It was a good place, but a little off the beaten path. We enjoyed it, as we were awaiting for our ship to roll in. We were in BCN for 7 nights.

 

Our upcoming cruise is out of BCN as well. We booked

Lleo Hotel.

Ask for a Superior Room with a patio. And the price is right at 90 euros. It is just around the corner from the beginning of Las Ramblas (from top, going down to the sea).

 

Hope this helps you, and have a great time!
