Catalonia is a wonderful hotel centrally located to main attractions. It is only a 5-minute walk from the train station which can take you just about anywhere. My boyfriend and I enjoy walking more. We found that it was about a thirty-minute walk to the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, and even the Beach. We quickly became familiar with the surrounding area and enjoyed morning runs at the Cuitadella. This hotel is perfectly located in an area full of great tapas bars and a vibrant night scene. I highly recommend this place for its location, cleanliness, and welcoming service provided by the front desk.
