HOTEL SUIZO, Barcelona

The hotel sits at Plaça de l'Àngel, 12, right in the centre of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Barcelona Cathedral is 200 metres away, and the famous Las Ramblas with its street performers and cafés is a short stroll. The Old Port and the beach are within walking distance. Metro station Jaume I (L4, Yellow Line) is directly outside the entrance, giving quick access to the rest of the city - Sagrada Família is a 30-40 minute walk or a short metro ride. The area is lively day and night, with many restaurants, bakeries, patisseries and shops immediately around the hotel.

Hotel Suizo has 65 rooms spread across several categories: Double/Twin, Quadruple, Double for Single Use, Triple, Triple with Attic, and Twin Attic. Standard double/twin rooms are exterior-facing and most have a balcony overlooking the Gothic Quarter. Quadruple rooms offer four beds and soundproof walls. Attic rooms on the top floor have a distinctive sloped ceiling and skylight windows instead of exterior windows, making them more compact. All rooms include air conditioning and heating (seasonally controlled), a private bathroom with hairdryer and amenities, satellite TV, a free safety deposit box, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have a fridge. Bed firmness varies - some find beds comfortable, others consider them firm or springy. Road-facing rooms can pick up street noise, but balcony doors effectively block most exterior sound when closed.

Breakfast is served as a buffet in the hotel's breakfast area. The selection includes bread, pastries, cold meats, cheeses, cereal, fruit, yogurt, hot items, and hot drinks. The cost is 14 EUR per person per day. There is no restaurant on-site for lunch or dinner, but the hotel has a coffee shop and vending machines for drinks and snacks. The surrounding Gothic Quarter and El Born areas have dozens of restaurants, cafés, patisseries and bars within a short walk, offering everything from tapas to full meals.
