With advance planning, you can get a good rate with this centrally located hostel. Check Google Earth to see the entryway - it's obscure).… Drop off at Placa Catalunya, only a couple blocks from the hotel. (note: the best way from the airport is by Aerobus. It is well positioned and a fantastic bargain in central Barcelona. The desk is open until midnight, but can be extended to 2am checkin if requested at booking.

Be warned the front desk is not manned until 9am. No breakfast is served, but coffee and hot water were available (bring a good instant coffee with you). The front desk staff were extremely nice and helpful. Shared bath accommodations are not a problem- it's a very small hotel with several very clean baths. Rooms are smallish but well appointed for the price. The stairwell is well lit, contrary to some reviews( switch is by the door).The hotel is very basic but spotlessly clean. There is no elevator and you need to go up 2 flights of stairs. The little street it's on has some very nice reasonable restaurants. Make sure you know where you are going beforehand as its a little hard to find especially in the dark (look for a simple metal door with colorful grafitti - ring buzzer). The location is its best asset, right off Placa Catalunya, dead center in Barcelona. I have stayed in many budget hotels all over Europe and found Hostal Excellence to be outstanding value.
