If you don't get any replies, I do have a suggestion. There is a youth hostel in Barcelona on the beach - I wouldn't suggest staying there unless you book a private room. But they may have info on habitaciones and other private lodging. Also, at the airport, you may be approached by people offering business cards. Don't be too anxious to dismiss them. Often, they are paid by people having accommodation to round up business. We found a wonderful room this way back in 2006. Have you done a search on Hostels in Barcelona? What a wonderful, fun place to land!

I stayed at Pension Palacio and found it to be adequate, close to everything (La Ramla, Barrio Gotic, the waterfront, etc) and the prices reasonable. Check it out. I also stayed at the HI hostel near Parc Guell and DO NOT recommend it. Too many children.....and it was not quiet.

We stayed at Hostal Levante which is central, reasonable and clean.

I can recommend Hostal Orleans in the El Born district. Close to Estacion de Franca, tubestation Barceloneta, Picasso-museum, Parc Zoologic.
Clean hostal, family run, 24 hours closed doors and reception. Spotlessly clean too.
