Any Barcelona hotel recommendations?

[tomskip]

We're looking for a hotel rather than a hostel. Our children are older, so it doesn't necessarily have to be "child friendly" but we do quite like our home comforts. So I suppose we are looking at mid to upper price range, would prefer not to be on a noisy thoroughfare or with crowds of stag/hen do groups. Any and all recommendations warmly welcomed, thank you!

We went to Barcelona with the grandparents 2 years ago and stayed at Ayre Hotel Capse. We chose it because they had adjoining hotel rooms. We find the adjoining rooms offered more privacy than a suite. Not sure if that's what you're looking for. The hotel is on a quiet street, away from the crowds, but we (even the grandparents) were still able to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

Oh hi, thanks all. I had forgotten I'd posted this question! Hotel still not booked, needless to say, so your replies are much appreciated.

Hi

we went in August with our 15 and 11 year olds and stayed at on of the Petite Palace Hotels.

There are free bikes to hire

They are very trendy but good value and have very good looking staff!
