4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Barcelona

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly period to visit Barcelona is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a fulfilling experience that allows you to appreciate the city’s architectural wonders, historical sites, and cultural offerings, it’s recommended to stay for at least 3 to 4 days. This timeframe is ideal for exploring attractions such as renowned museums, stunning churches, and significant monuments, ensuring you enjoy great value for money while immersing yourself in Barcelona's rich heritage.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Barcelona, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on accommodations close to your travel dates. Enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com could keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you secure great savings on hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re notified if prices drop or rooms become available, making it easier to plan your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Barcelona hotel. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can sometimes offer better value.
