Holger Gester

Hiya,

I will be in Barcelona and Madrid for a few days at the beginning of
May.

I am a kind of traveler and don´t need any luxury accomodation, so an
affordable pensione or hostal with a single room would be nice.

For Madrid I know already the brilliant webpage: www.madridman.com

But now I am looking forward to your recommendations, especially for
Barcelona.

Thank you very much

Holger :-)

also don't miss looking through www.multimadrid.com for Madrid.
One HOSTAL recommended is http://www.losamigoshostel.com/
Another I heard about, again in the same area, is
http://www.hostalbarajas.com/ - that one looks a bit more UP MARKET !
Also Barcelona is mentioned in several threads. One person recommends :
http://www.gothicpoint.com being "" It is the best youth hostel in
Barcelona, huge, clean, free internet for guests, open 24 hours, etc... The
only problem is that you will have to share a room with others since it is
an "albergue" type hostel for backpackers and such.""
There are so many HOSTALS in Barcelona that one persons recommendation could
easily be 'raised' by some other.

Check out Pension Dali (www.pensiondali.com). It's listed as one of the
best cheap hotels in just about every Barcelona travel guide. I plan to be
there next month.
Good luck.
