“In The Middle Of Everything”
Great choice for the sightseer. With the metro stop right outside the lobby, this hotel was minutes from everything. In the heart of the Gothic Quarter, two blocks from the Cathedral, a five minute walk to Las Ramblas, a ten minute walk to the waterfront. On Placa De L'Angel, with outdoor cafe seating...perfect for breakfast or a light snack. Service was efficient, if not overly gracious. The staff was helpful with directions. The room was spotless, if a little small by American standards, but had all amenities. Best of all was the balcony overlooking the pedestrianized street below. Noise not a major issue from adjoining rooms, but remember...you are in the heart of the city and a highly touristed area. Great little bakery on the ground floor for grab and go snacks, an organic grocer across the street. Don't miss the gelato at the cafe around the corner on Via Leitana. The Taverna Brisbe, on the Placa de Seu (Cathedral) was a reasonable, delicious choice for tapas or full dinner. Take the train (six euro and 35 minutes away) to Sitges to enjoy the beaches for the afternoon.
