I can't imagine a more perfect location in all of Barcelona! The hotel is in the plaza - across from the cathedral, in the Gothic district. Plenty of shops and great places to eat all within walking distance!! A short 5 minute walk to Las Ramblas and a 10 minute walk to the beach. The staff at the hotel was very helpful and helped booked concert tickets, flamenco dancing show and tour bus tours for us. They even summoned a masseuse for us to help get rid of the aches and pains from traveling. I wish the bed was after and that we had an iron and a coffee maker in the room. Other than that - perfect!

"Perfect Location"
Great location in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, facing on the large cathedral square, handy to the Ramblas. Nice French Balcony facing on the square or side street - relatively soundproof, clean rooms, good service - but very hard beds. Breakfast Buffet was expensive (18 euros), but room service more reasonable for a la carte and morning coffee.
