General Information
Parc de la Ciutadella (Citadel Park) is situated on the border of the old city of Barcelona and provides a good opportunity to be close to the city center but at the same time benefit from wide rooms and relatively cheap (for additional information – Cheap Hotels in Barcelona and Hotels in Barcelona).
Since the park is quite big, you can find different types of hotels in the different parts surrounding the park. The south part is close to the beach and hotels in these area are typical beach hotels. However, the north side of the Parc de la Ciutadella is more similar to the real face of Barcelona and does not focus on tourists so hotels are quite authentic there.
The west side of the park is near El Born and the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) that is why it is full of small and expensive hotels and apartments. Accommodation in this neighborhood is mainly recommended for couples who come to Barcelona for a romantic vacation and want to be in the city center (for additional information – Romantic Vacation in Barcelona and Romantic Hotels in Barcelona). Groups and families who are not interested in the nightlife can find ideal rooms in the north part of the park (for additional information – Family-friendly Hotels in Barcelona, Kids and Families in Parc de la Ciutadella and Kids and Families in Barcelona).
