Barcelona - what hotel do you like?
Will be in Barcelona for a couple days in early May and am having difficulty choosing a hotel and would appreciate hearing the experiences of those who have visited there recently.
Our specs:
Our specs:
arriving by air
departing by train, would like to be convenient to the Sants (I think) station
want a neighborhood safe for evening strolls
need someplace where a well-behaved tween is welcome
prefer under $150/night
want something bookable through Expedia as trying to use some banked points
I'm considering the L'Eixample District, thoughts?

You would need to get (presumably) a taxi to the railway station, but it wouldn't be a long journey. I'd add that things seem to be generally easy to organise in Barcelona, and the hotel was very happy to book a taxi for me at 4.30 in the morning, so that shouldn't be a problem.
