The property maintains a wide terrace furnished with garden furniture and pergolas.

Pros

Located in a safe neighborhood with shady squares and 19th-century architecture

Walking distance to major attractions including Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art

Multiple room configurations available, including family rooms

Daily maid service and concierge assistance included

Cons

Barceloneta Beach is 2 miles away

Some rooms face an interior courtyard rather than offering city views

“In my opinion, what stands out is the staff's genuine helpfulness, especially at the front desk. The location provides a good base for exploring, with La Rambla within walking distance. I also noted that some rooms include balconies, and there's a pleasant terrace for guests.”
