Primavera Sound - Foros

I know it's kinda early-
but did anyone already booked a hotel near Par del forum?

That would be some forward planning, man, so I haven't yet. No flights either... But I did get a sweet hotel on Diagonal, quite near Glories. A neat stagger back from the Forum at 5am when your feet can take no more.

Also - flights. Now you've got me thinking!

Last couple of years I've stayed literally over the road, but having had a quick look there's nothing available in either of those hotels already. Thing is the festival organisers block book them to put up the artists etc. Didn't they offer accommodation packages as well last year though? I'd rather do it directly to be honest, but I'll take a look if they do the same this year. Otherwise will have to look a little further afield I guess

I have already booked my usual place - Hostal Orleans, near Barceloneta metro station. Great place.

I've stayed in an apartment at Hospital Clinic - easy to walk back to as you just cut off Diagonal after the bus station roundabout, though it takes an age - and a hostel down Las Ramblas which was has problems other than distance. The Llevant / Diagonal area seems pretty expensive is what's prevented me from staying nearer, rooms at the Princess and Zero are way out of my league.

I've been this year on Tryp Condal Del Mar Hotel and I highly recommend this hotel. It has a great location too (less than 1 km from parc del forum).
This year, I wanted to try something new, so I booked Vinci Mar hotel which is also near the forum.
Any more recommendations?

i also stayed at tryp condal mar hotel this year. It was really nice. Pool on the roof, nice breakfast, about a 20 minute walk from the site. First time I'd stayed next to the festival site instead of town centre and i much preferred it. So much better being able to stagger home at 5am.

Indeed.
What about this year?

will definitely be booking the same place for the next primavera. Will probably try and book it up again some time soon.

The price rates are much higher this year
For the same price of 9 nights on last May you can only pay for 5 nights!

anyhow, as I said I just booked Vinci bit.
Hope it will be as good as Tryp

Vinci Bit looks great but expensive during the festival days ($173 a night)...wow.

I think the prices for all the hotel have been increased drastically for 2013
Still-staying in a walking distance from the festival is priceless

Hostal Orleans

Nice double room for 50 euros a night.

Go figure.

it's not near the festival venue.
that's the reason.
