This hotel is nicely located within walking distance of the Gothic quarter, Barcelona Cathedral, Basilica de Santa Maria, La Rambla, Plaça de Catalunya, Arc de Triomf, Palau de la Música, tons of cafes (oldest pastry shop, La Colmena), restaurants, and shopping. Our tourist offices were 6-12 minutes away. There a few supermarkets close by so makes it for purchasing water bottles.
The staff are extremely helpful. The room AC did not work for 2 days as the engineer was off site but they fixed it and for service recovery sent up a bottle of champagne. Automatic doors are locked for safety and the front desk staff lets you in. Staff warned us about pickpocketers and not to walk around with cellphone in the hand! Best to use a crossbody placed in the front. Overall a wonderful experience and a great Boutique hotel.
