Cheap Accommodations in Barcelona
The Ritz Roger De Lluria Hotel is not exactly what you’d call a budget hotel but how can I say no to a 4-day stay here if the company is paying, right?
But… I did my homework today. I had a nice and quick conversation with the waiter next door. And with google’s help, I found the details to support Diego’s tips. Here they are:
- Search for albergues juveniles which means youth hostel in English. They particularly suggested the Sea Point Youth Hostel which is located near the beach and only 10 minutes away from the La Rambla and the Barcelona Mar.
- Book far in advance to get better hotel rates, should your personal requirement mean staying real hotel rooms. Since Barcelona is a very popular tourist destination, hotels are almost always full. And the nearer you are to your planned arrival, the more expensive it could get. So… plan your trip way in advance.
- Go camping. Of course, you’d need a tent for this. If you can’t bring one from home, go check out those surplus shops in the Gothic area near La Rambla. Check out Campings Online for places where you can camp in and around Barcelona.
If you want the ultimate cheap vacation in Barcelona, you can combine any of the above with free drinks at a disco and some cheap eats near La Rambla. If you do all that, you might even save enough money to extend your stay or buy a souvenir.
