We have stayed at the Continental Palacete a charming hotel that decorates its rooms in pink! A quick look at last week in Oct, rates 105euro for single. Has alot of extra amenities: a free 24hr cafeteria setup for snacks, breakfast quiches, water, drink dispensers, in-room microwave, an internet computer for guests,...Just across the street from the hotel is a local bakery for fresh pastries and sandwiches.

The hop on/hop off tourist buses are one block away on Passeig de Gracia.. Lovely area to walk around, and plenty of tapa spots.

Be careful of pickpockets, don't walk around with all your valuables, use the hotel safe.

We have been to many of the must sees in Barcelona, and still have not tired of the city. There are good guides that suggest walking routes. What is your passion?
