Pros

Multiple dining options within 300-1640.4 ft, including Vinitus, Debutis, and Teleferic

Cultural landmarks within walking distance: Casa Batllo (0.5 miles), Sagrada Familia (1 mile), and Parc Guell (1.5 miles)

Daily housekeeping service included with fresh towels and bed linens

Cons

Some rooms are interior-facing without views

Several bathrooms are shared among multiple rooms

“I found that this property in Eixample places you right in the city's heart, and the rooms I saw mentioned are noted for comfort, cleanliness, and some even feature balconies. While some rooms have shared bathrooms, the convenience of in-room amenities like air conditioning and mini-fridges, plus the building's lift access, make it a practical choice. The location requires a bit more walking to Plaza Catalunya, but many would consider the trade-off for the room quality worthwhile.”
