Gay and Lesbian Barcelona
Hotel singles in Barcelona cost about €78 per night, doubles €105. If you make reservations in writing, indicate your night of arrival and the number of nights you plan to stay. The hotel will send you a confirmation and may request payment for the first night.
For a cozy alternative to impersonal hotel rooms, B&Bs (private homes with rooms available to travelers) range from acceptable to sublime. Rooms in B&Bs generally cost €40-80 for a single and €100-120 for a double in Barcelona. Many websites provide listings for B&Bs; check out Bed & Breakfast Inns Online (www.bbonline.com), BedandBreakfast.com (www.bedandbreakfast.com), or BNBFinder.com (www.bnbfinder.com).
Travelers planning to stay in Barcelona for extended periods of time may find it most cost-effective to rent an apartment. A basic one-bedroom (or studio) apartment will range €800-1300 per month. Besides the rent itself, prospective tenants usually are also required to front a security deposit (frequently one month’s rent) and the last month’s rent.
