You can find bargains and good accommodations in the Sagrada Familia area of Barcelona. This residential district can save you money over staying in the city’s center, as many of the hotels actually are converted from apartments, with more room and features than typical hotel settings. Here are five hotels that get high marks in the area as ranked by online reviewers.
Sagrada Familia Hotel
This site is just a few flocks from Sagrada Familia and offers easy access to public transportation options. There also are plenty of good, inexpensive restaurants close to the hotel. Reviewers note the cleanliness of the rooms and helpfulness of the staff, particularly for making reservations to other places. (More from

Hotel Hispanos 7 Suiza Apartament
One block from the Sagrada Familia, these apartments are actually set up as a hotel for tourists. Large rooms with multiple bedrooms can accommodate larger traveling parties and the location is convenient for metro and bus services to the city center. If you want to feel like you are actually living in the area, this is the place to stay.
Eric Vokel Bcn Suites
This site is a five- to 10-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia and two metro stations. Online reviewers appreciate its proximity to supermarkets and bakeries. The rooms in some suites might be a bit smaller than what you could find at other hotels, but the location cannot be beat in terms of safety and quiet. (Find them on

Ayre Hotel Rosellon
This four-star site is just one minute from Sagrada Familia and also is close to the metro. The site has 105 rooms, four of which are modified for people with disabilities, according to the hotel’s website. Ask for a room on a higher floor so that you can have a better view.
Hotel Sant Antoni
Ask for a room on the highest floor, which has the fewest rooms. You not only will have a spectacular view, but also a surprising amount of quiet for a hotel. You also will have a terrace with large windows from this floor. The site is a five-minute walk to Sagrada Familia. For a longer walk, head to Plaza Catalunya and La Rambla.
