I'm also looking for a good Hotel in Barselona
I'm planning a trip in June 2010 and the ship does a round trip back to Barselona so I'm looking to stay 2 night before the cruise and 1 night after .
I'm looking for something near the cruise ship dock but also easy to get transportation the and from the airport.
I've been told that this was a good hotel
Price range $169 to about $212 per night
