Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms score lower than location — While the location and service earn high marks, the rooms and cleanliness rate a 7 — still good, but not the hotel's strongest point.
- Price reflects the address — With rates from £248 a night, you're paying for the Gothic Quarter setting. Budget-conscious travellers may find better value elsewhere in Barcelona.
- Small room count — With only 61 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate, but peak-season availability can be limited.
