Staying at the 27-room Hostal Orleáns is like staying at your favorite aunt's house. Add a prime location (in the happening Ribera district), and you have a charming hostel with a fun setting.

Owner Fina Ibañez has outfitted each room in a style all her own. Her aesthetic could easily shock a color-sensitive person. Still, the rooms are spotless and the bathrooms gleaming. Balcony rooms look onto the bustling Av. Marquès de Argentera and the França train station.

The price is right at the Hostal Orleans, where the frills are in the pink lacy bedspreads and the silk flower arrangements. There isn't an elevator, so be prepared to lug your bags up two flights of stairs. Air-conditioning is available for an extra €5 per day. Internet is also available, also for a fee. On the up side, all rooms have televisions and telephones, and most have small bathtubs.

The Ribera location is fantastic for sightseeing and nightlife. Within the radius of a few blocks, you'll find the Picasso Museum, Barcelona's port, the beach, and many restaurant choices. (Our recommendation: Café Borne—around the corner from Hostal Orleáns—for an afternoon tea and brownie combo.)
