4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Barcelona

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Barcelona is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a comprehensive experience of the city’s landmarks, history, and culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore the stunning architecture, enriching museums, and iconic monuments, as well as enjoy the vibrant urban dining scene. Travelling during these months offers great value for money, making it an ideal choice for those on a budget. Additionally, prices for accommodation may drop further during this off-peak season, enhancing the overall budget-friendly experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Barcelona, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you avoid missing potential savings. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. You’ll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to secure a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Barcelona hotel. For those seeking unique accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your selected dates is above or below the average. If the price leans towards the higher end, we’ll propose more affordable dates that could help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience but often comes with higher expenses. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit.
