Leaving from Barcelona on a cruise. Need a good hotel for 2 days pre and post cruise. Looking for cleanliness and reasonably priced room. Any suggestions?

try fira palace, nice area and very clean

Donnajoy,
I am also cruising out of Barcelona,my trip is in May.I did some research back in Oct.and reserved a room at the Hotel Royal for 122 per night usd.I was looking at reviews at tripadvisor.com
a few of the places I was considering were not available.Also,go into the Boards on cruisecritic.com
I am staying 4 nights in Barcelona.My cruise ends in Venice,I will stay there 4 nights post-trip.
I hope this helps a bit.

I was also looking at Fira Palace. Is the location convenient for siteseeing? What is the surrounding area like? Thanks!

i think it is, its in montjuic, where the pueblo espanol is about a 5min distance. also las ramblas is about 5 in taxi. You can also take the bus turistic, it is well worth it. The hotel itself is very nice, the rooms are nice and big, with 2 showers and a big bathroom. the breakfast is very good
