9 of Barcelona's Best Guesthouses

Barcelona is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe, with a lovely year-round climate and a heady mixture of fun and culture, spearheaded by Gaudi and Picasso. Spain's coolest city makes a first-rate choice for a buzzy weekend away. With its broad appeal, it is unsurprising that there are also a wide range of very good hotel options. However, many of the best hotels in the city come with very steep price tags. For a cheaper alternative to a hotel, a guesthouse offers plenty of charm while their size gives an intimate and personalised feel. With this in mind, our hotel experts have compiled a collection of Barcelona's best guesthouses selected on their design, location, and service. Whether you are planning a couple's escape or a family break, there is something to suit most trips. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?
