Hi - I am coming to Barcelona in August for 5 nights. I have been once before and stayed at H10 Montcada in El Born and enjoyed that area. I am coming with my mum - will be looking to do sightseeing, nice dinners, tourist stuff. I was looking at hotels - kinda in the 300-350 range and found the below and would love some help deciding: we like to walk around/ explore and also a good hotel 4-5 stars.
1) ME Barcelona - Amex plat has a great deal on this hotel since its a FINE hotel (free breakfast)- but is this a good neighborhood vs. El Born? I read its central. Also the hotel kinda looks huge/ sterile though it gets good reviews.. any thoughts?
2) Hotel 1898 - looks pretty nice - thoughts?
3) Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa OR Yurbban Ramblas Boutique Hotel
4) Kimpton Vividora - This also looks good - a bit more pricier than i would like but is this a lot better than the ME Barcelona?
thank you!!
