$, Eixample
Fodor's Review:
This friendly little hotel in Horta, formerly an outlying village like Gràcia and Sarrià, is an intimate residence with simple but well-cared-for rooms. It's a good budget choice, named for its Crayola-color range of decors on different floors of the hotel. Pros: small enough for intimacy and personalized, friendly service; bright and modern design. Cons: a long way (20 minutes by subway) from the Gothic Quarter and the Eixample, spaces small and economy-minded.
