The 92-room K+K Hotel Picasso is a modern, sharp hotel located in the Born district of Barcelona. It is surrounded by quality restaurants and is within a 20-minute walk of many of Barcelona's top attractions including beaches, Las Ramblas, and Sagrada Familia. Rooms are clean and quiet -- thanks to sound-proof windows -- and the archway-laden exterior is charming. There is a rooftop pool with great city views and an expansive breakfast buffet, but the free Wi-Fi signal can sometimes be weak. Travelers looking for a hotel with a bit more personality should check out the Balmes Hotel with its museum-worthy collection of African art.

This 105-room upscale chain hotel has a great location: It sits on a quiet side street away from Las Ramblas, and near a metro stop, the Boqueria Market, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, and it's just a seven-minute walk to Placa de Catalunya. Guests can hang out in the Silken Ramblas’ restaurant and lobby bar, or on the roof terrace, where there's a pool and sauna. Bland, yet modern, rooms have free Wi-Fi and nice flat-screen TVs, but can get noisy. Travelers looking for a step up with a similar price tag may want to check out the K+K Hotel Picasso.

Its 26 suites have separate living areas, full kitchenettes, and amenities like minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi.

The 49-room Abba Rambla Hotel is a simple mid-range property located an easy walk from the Gothic Quarter and famous Las Ramblas boulevard. Catering to business travelers and those looking to spend most of the day exploring the sights, rooms are clean but compact, with generic, contemporary decor, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. There isn’t much in the way of amenities, but the lobby bar serves a varied, tasty breakfast buffet every morning, and the business center has a computer and printer that guests can use free of charge. Rates are reasonable for the area, but travelers seeking something a bit more hip and youthful may prefer Chic & Basic Ramblas, which is closer to the harbor area.

Past guests have put this little, low-key boutique hotel in the “hidden gem” category, and it’s easy to see why. After all, the upper-middle-range Vasanta has a lot to recommend it -- including an enviable Eixample address near popular sights, a handsome neoclassical facade, top-notch service, plus 16 classic-meets-contemporary rooms. The last of these, all individually decorated, come equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and, in some cases, private balconies or terraces. A light breakfast (coffee and pastries) is included in the room rate, too. That said, there is a dearth of facilities here, which is typical for small-scale boutiques. If you can’t do without an on-site bar, gym, or meeting room, but want to remain in the neighborhood and pearl category, try the bigger Hotel America Barcelona instead.
