Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Midmost

This handsome Moderniste property has gone through several incarnations, the most recent resulting in a rather serene setting (quite welcome in this busy neighborhood) and reasonably priced rooms, some with a terrace or balcony. Inside, the labyrinthine corridors keep traffic noises on the guest floors to a minimum. The downstairs breakfast room is furnished salon-style with comfy armchairs and sofas, and offers an excellent buffet; the fine little roof terrace has parasols and divans, a smallish pool (unheated), and a superb view of Montjuic; the bar is open to the public. Ask for one of the three superior doubles, with a private terrace.
