Perched over the traffic-free and charming Plaça del Pi and Plaça Sant Josep Oriol, this chic budget hotel has rooms with views of the Gothic church of Santa Maria del Pi and outfitted with modern pine furniture. The in-house breakfast (EUR 6) is excellent, and the alfresco tables at the Bar del Pi, downstairs, are ideal in summer. There are five floors -- the higher, the quieter -- and an elevator. It's not the Ritz, and it can be noisy in summer, but all in all the Jardí is great value. Pros: central location, good value, impeccable bathrooms. Cons: flimsy beds and furnishings, no amenities, including no room service.
