I think that when a traveler arrives in a new city, they need an interesting, hospitable, clean and fun place with a good location. Mercedes place measures up to those criteria. I really felt at home and welcomed when I stayed here, and the location (Placa Reial) is easy to find, and within easy walking distance, from the nearest Metro stop (Liceu)--not to mention a historic location, too! I would gladly stay here again.
