Our Opinion:

An established, modern hotel, centrally located in the shopping and business area of the city, very close to the famous Paseo de Gracia and the key modernist Gaudi buildings. The spacious bedrooms are furnished in warm red colours with wood floors. The restaurant offering Mediterranean and local cuisine is popular with the locals. Accommodation in Barcelona is on the high side so a central location does come at a premium compared to our standard offering of Sehrs campus. Great hotel for comfort and location, this is the option for you if you feel being in the very centre is worth the extra cash.
