Lodging in Spain

[piercew]

I am planning a trip to Barcelona and then onto other cities in southeast Spain, but I am having major trouble deciding on Hostels.

To me they seem expensive, and they don't tell you a whole lot, and they all sound the same. I am not planning on staying in any one city for a long period of time so probably not more than 5 nights per city.

What is the best way to get a lodging? Reserve them online using a roulette wheel, reserve one for the first few nights while we search for something more suitable and available, but then what about when going to other cities. I want to leave everything flexible just in case one city isn't as fun as others.

Any thoughts, or pointers would be helpful. Thanks!!!

I always used past traveler reviews to make my decision. Go to hostelz.com then look at there reviews. Then go to gomio.com and look at there reviews. I usually picked the ones rated the highest and booked using that. But if its not a real busy time just book a night, and if you like it book the rest of the nights that next morning. This way if you dont like it, then you can leave- make sure to pick a backup and know where it is.
