CATALUNYA, Barcelona

The hotel is on Santa Anna Street, a quiet but central lane in the Gothic Quarter. Plaça Catalunya, the city's main transport hub, is a 5-minute walk and provides direct metro, train, and Aerobus connections to the airport (the bus stops at the square, taking about 35 minutes). Barcelona Cathedral is a 5-minute walk; Passeig de Gràcia's Gaudí buildings are 500 metres away. The beach is a 30-40 minute walk or 15 minutes by metro or bus. Street-facing rooms can be noisy at night; rooms at the back are quieter.

Rooms are described as comfortable and wide, though many have noted they feel small or compact for two people. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, bath, and hairdryer. Bed types vary from a double to a twin (split into two singles) or a queen bed; some groups have received a triple plus an extra bed instead of a true quadruple. The air conditioning is individually controlled per room. A kettle is available on request from reception. Interior rooms have reduced natural light but are much quieter than street-facing ones, which can be affected by noise from the square and late-night street activity. The safe costs €2 per day.

The front desk is staffed around the clock and can arrange taxi bookings, ticket reservations, and provide local recommendations. Luggage storage is free and available both before check-in and after checkout. Housekeeping cleans rooms daily, replacing towels and sheets. A lift serves all floors. There is no laundry service, and pets are not allowed. The hotel accepts American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Maestro, and MasterCard. A safety deposit box is available for €2 per day, and an ironing service can be arranged with the cleaning team at a variable price.
