HOTEL MARKET, Barcelona

Set adjacent to San Antonio Market, the hotel places you in a lively, largely pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood with flat streets. MACBA is 10 minutes on foot, while both Plaza Espanya and Plaza Catalunya are 15 minutes away. The nearest metro station is Sant Antoni (line 2) about 200 metres away, and an airport shuttle bus stop is just 2 minutes from the door. For car users, private parking is available nearby for €20 per day. The area offers a good range of local restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, a pharmacy, and a laundromat, all within a short walk.

All rooms include a private bathroom with a hairdryer and toiletries; some have a bath and a separate shower. Double rooms come with a private balcony that can be requested during check-in. A suite offers a large furnished terrace, a refrigerator, and an en-suite bathroom with a double sink. Room sizes vary - some are spacious, while single or older rooms can feel small and dated. Certain rooms have no windows (only an internal air shaft) and can feel dark. Noise carries from corridors and neighbouring rooms, and street-facing rooms may be affected. Beds are generally comfortable and pillows are rated well.

The on-site restaurant, Restaurante #1, is open from 13:00 until 22:00 (until 22:30 on Friday and Saturday) and serves modern Catalan cuisine with a focus on rice dishes and paella.
