Guide to Barcelona Holiday Accommodation Choices
Budget accommodation
Vacationers in Barcelona are faced with a wide range of accommodation choices such as hotels, hostels, hostales, self-catering accommodation options, aparthotels, bed and breakfast places, holiday apartments, budget hotels and backpacker hostels. This city has accommodation choices to fit any type of budget from luxury hotels to budget hostels.
Budget accommodation in Barcelona which includes hostels, hostales and bed and breakfast places, is immensely popular among young travellers vacationing in Spain. However, these places must be booked 2-3 
months in advance because they get easily filled especially during peak seasons and international festivals. Budget accommodation can be found in the university neighbourhoods such as in the area near Rona University.
Hotels
Besides budget accommodation, a wide range of hotels, which differ according to their star rating as well as facilities on offer, are available to individual and family vacationers. Visitors to Barcelona can also opt to stay in a paradore, a government-owned hotel, which can be either luxury or budget, and is usually housed in heritage structures such as fortresses, monasteries and castles. Cheaper options include pensiones like the Pension Mar-Luz and the Ciaudadela are also good places to stay in.
Holiday apartments and Aparthotels
Families and large groups will get the best deal by getting a holiday apartment or an aparthotel, which is just an apartment in a hotel. But young people travelling on a budget can stay at youth hostels, also known as “albergue” in Spanish, which is the cheapest option for them.
