El Avenida Palace Hotel

El Avenida Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Utterly superb!!!!!! Everything....room, beds, staff, amenities, roof top room, breakfast. Couldn't fault it. A truly 5 star stay - I say that having stayed in Barcelona countless times. When I return, I'm only staying here! Glass of cava, sitting in their rooftop pool looking at the Barcelona Skyline and Sagrada Familigia? PRICELESS. The staff were all absolutely delightful, friendly, happy and very welcoming, helping with every request. (Cuitat Comtal a few doors away on the corner does the best tapas in Barcelona BTW; no bookings just show up). Together, Avenida Palace and Cuitat Comtal provide the best experience of Barcelona you could possibly have!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Barcelona

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most economical time to visit Barcelona is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly trip that allows you to discover the city's rich landmarks, history, and culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration provides ample opportunity to explore the stunning architecture, fascinating museums, and historic churches, as well as indulge in local dining and shopping experiences. Visiting during these months not only offers great value for money but also the chance to enjoy the city's cultural offerings without breaking the bank, as prices may drop significantly.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Searching for bargains to Barcelona may be simpler than you think. Visit Hotels.com's DealsOpens in a new window section to explore discounted hotel options, or check the Last-Minute Deals section for offers near your travel date. You may discover flash sales by enabling email alerts or push notifications. Additionally, Hotels.com's Smart Shopping tool via the app allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see opportunities to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more affordable stay in a Barcelona hotel. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If it happens to be on the higher end, we can suggest alternative dates that might offer a more budget-friendly option.
  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation closer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You could also explore independent hotels further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable while offering a more authentic experience.
