Fodor's Review:
This modest hotel stands at the top of the Rambla, just below Plaça de Catalunya. Space is tight, but the rooms manage to accommodate large, firm beds. It's high enough over the Rambla to escape street noise, so ask for a room overlooking Barcelona's most emblematic street. This is a good place to read Homage to Catalonia, as George Orwell stayed here with his wife in 1937 after recovering from a bullet wound. Pros: in the heart of the city, historically significant, high enough over Rambla to be quiet, with balconies from which to admire the human flow below. Cons: slightly old-fashioned and down at the heel, low tech, small rooms.
