Worth weighing

5 to weigh

“A wonderful, clean place with a location so close to the centre. The room was modest but modern with an excellent bathroom, and the inner courtyard view was pleasant. No complaints – an excellent stay.”

“We loved our time here. The desk staff were very helpful, making reservations for a flamenco evening and recommending an excellent nearby tapas restaurant. Secure underground parking cost €28 per night but was worth it. We took the city bus tours to see Gaudí's work – great experience. Driving in and out of the city was easier than feared.”
