- I am in awe at how much my husband and I loved this hotel! First time in Barcelona, and we were recommended by friends to stay in the Gothic region. I was looking for something lower cost, but still decent. This hotel far exceeded my expectations. We booked three nights for $408. I think it's less popular because it's slightly farther than other touristy hotels, but it was only a 5-10 minute walk to Placa Catalunya (the main plaza where most of the buses pick up + shopping and restaurants), 5 minutes from La Rambla, and 10 minutes from La Boqueria. Location wise, it allowed us to walk everywhere we needed to with no issues. The service here was also exceptional. From start to finish every front desk agent was attentive, kind, and super helpful. They provided better serve than many of our mid level hotels back in the states. Special shoutout to Sima, who made our stay memorable by consistently being a friendly helpful face every single day of our stay. He went out of his way to assist us with many things. Everyone did, though. One other person even walked with us to the main road to hail us a cab. The rooms are clean and updated. We had no complaints with that regard. Overall, 10/10 would stay here again and would absolutely recommend it to all of our friends. read more
