Apartments: the aparthotel & hotel alternative.
The main accommodation options in Barcelona:
- hotels or hostels offering rooms with limited space with no fridge or kitchen equipment.
- aparthotels offering all the benefits of a hotel room with a kitchen facility. They are like a small apartment within the hotel.
- fully furnished & equipped apartments. They have no reception but they a cheaper and offer more space & comfort.
The apartments are a value for money. Towels, fresh bed linen & all supplies (water + electricity + gas) are included in the price.
You’ll have the possibility to cook and can save money if you do not want lunch or dinner away. Barcelona aparhotels usually do not have kitchen facilities for groups larger than 4 and they are not cheap. Apartments offer you much wider spaces than cheap hotels in Barcelona.
You won’t have someone ringing at the door early morning and you’ll enjoy more freedom and autonomy.
If you’ll travel in group or with children you could stay together having the privacy of the rooms. Moreover, prices are more competitive as the number of people increases.
