My 3rd time in Barcelona. I had four days in Barcelona and could only book two here. I wanted to experience it because it’s such a unique mash-up of cultural icons - Cuban, Scottish, and punk. Somehow, they pull it off. The art and decor are chic and playful but not overdoing either. The service is attentive, but they’re not in your face trying to please you. I have a single room, so it’s a bit small but okay. Super comfy single bed. Lovely linens. The single toilet is a bit cramped but manageable once you remove the small garbage can. The shower is spectacular, like being in an amazing downpour.
The breakfast they offer at the restaurant is well worth the 10euros. You won’t get that walking out the door to one of the local cafes. I think I’ll try the restaurant tonight (menu attached).
Finally, the location. It’s in a prime spot in El Born. One step out the door and you are transported to the wonderful world that is Barcelona’s Old Town. Food, fashion, art, history, people watching. What’s not to love?
Oh, and it’s near the best chips I’ve ever tasted. That's all. Headed back from the beach to take another shower.
