If you're thinking about a break in Barcelona and you've got a budget to stick to, there are plenty of 3-star hotels in Barcelona that are clean, comfortable and affordable. You would expect 3 star hotels in the city centre to be expensive but actually, Barcelona has a number of great accommodation options that are within easy reach of areas like Las Ramblas, Eixample and the Gothic Quarter, and are relatively affordable too.
Las Ramblas is an iconic part of Barcelona's culture and livelihood, and it's also quite central and well located for exploring the city, so you may feel like you need to stay in the area, especially if you're only on a short break. While much of Barcelona is very accessible so you don't always need to stay in the city centre, Las Ramblas does have plenty to offer. The road stretches all the way from Placa de Catalunya down to the port and it's worth bearing in mind that staying in such a tourist hotspot may not mean the discounts you were hoping for with a three star hotel.
