RS tour Barcelona hotel

Caroline.. is this your first tour.. because you seem to think that the tours use only hotels in the guidebooks.. not by a long shot. I have only taken my rs tour.. but we only used maybe 2-3 hotels from the guidebooks.

However.. every hotel we used was more then satisfactory.. some nicer then others.. but all absolutely fine.

Why don't you just google the hotels name and "reviews".. read the reviews on tripadivsor.com and on the booking.com websites.

We stayed in a hotel in Barcelona.. the Jazz Hotel.. we thought it was well located and we loved the roof top bar and swimming pool .

hmm , never mind the Jazz hotel.. rates have gone up over your budget.

I suggest you enter your dates into booking.com.. they are a reliable website to find hotels.

ps "but this is mid june".
yes.. high season.

Hi Pat,

It's not my first tour, but it seems that on the ones I've taken, pretty much all the hotels we used were listed (I didn't count). Perhaps that was a function of the region (Scandinavia and the Baltics). I was just surprised, especially when the guidebook mentions so many. Anyway, I will try booking.com, thanks!

caroline, I think that because they need hotels big enough to have 14+ rooms available, they can't fit in most of the smaller hotels that are usually what are covered in the books for independent travelers.

The tour has used that hotel for several years, so it is reliable. As a single traveler spending my own money, I'd certainly consider some budget choices from the book on pages 131-134.
