“This budget-friendly option sits in a beautiful older building in Eixample, positioning guests within a reasonable walk of Plaça de Catalunya and the Ramblas, yet removed from their intensity; rooms are clean and many have been updated. I think it's a practical choice for short stays, especially given the proximity to the Aerobus stop for airport access. For what it is, this place seems a solid option.”
