need hotel/accomodation in barcelona 9th-11th nov- quite cheap in the centre close to night life and shops?

can u reccommend any websites? etc

I've had great luck with using Resideo.com -- you can view & quote hotels around Barcelona here: http://www.resideo.com/es/barcelona/

Click the "Check Availability" button, choose your dates, submit the form. The default sort is based on closeness to the center of town, but you can sort by price or hotel rating.

Hope that helps...good luck!

I used http://www.holiday-velvet.com and they were good.
