Thinking about visiting Barcelona for a weekend is it easy to get a hotel without pre booking?


Or what is the busy times to avoid?

The days when you could negotiate a big discount at the front desk at weekends in business hotels are not over, but you could be unlucky. For example, last weekend, about 600,000 people descended on the city's beach to see the Red Bull Air race. There were no rooms and little warning.





I would book ahead either using the internet or buying a weekend break with hotel included. After all you don't want to waste a few hours hotel hunting.A little advice about hotels in Barcelona please?
Barcelona is a great city , it sounds like Harley found himself naively paying little attention to his surroundings and getting scammed , which is never a good idea in any city regardless of what country you are in. Back to your question : There are many good Hotels and although many of them are quite reasonablly priced you can also find very good, cheap apartments for rent for short periods.


Times to avoid are Fiestas and when there are major events like a home football game on ( 6th - 8th of Dec are particularly popular fiesta dates )
easy to get hotel room, but Barcelona is the pickpocket capital of the world it is full of feral children working for gangs who will bump into you and relieve you of anything in your pockets, on your wrist or in your bag, they are not averse to slitting your clothes with a razor to get at your possessions or even you if you get in the way, it's a cesspit
