Located on one of Barcelona's main thoroughfares, it can be reached by taxi from the airport in 20-30 minutes (depending on traffic), connects to the main city transport links, and is within easy walking distance of the city centre. There are many bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable, fairly spacious and quiet. A good choice for a stay in the centre of Barcelona.
