The proximity to the cathedral is excellent and it's beautiful to walk around it at night when it's all lit up. Most of the restaurants we wanted to go to were in El Raval and the Gothic Quarter so it was a longish walk (there are always taxis in front of the hotel). There is a decent gluten free tapas restaurant close by though. A lot of the restaurants near the cathedral are big time tourist traps with mediocre food. The hotel checked all the boxes for my essential basics of good lodging - clean room (the rooms are quite large for European hotel rooms so no tripping over your suitcase all the time), very comfortable bed with spotless linens, decent shower pressure, and a user-friendly design that includes hooks, shelves, etc. to help keep stuff organized. If you're sharing a room with someone the glassed in shower and glassed in toilet don't feel particularly private. I wouldn't characterize the room as super memorable but that's not necessary for me to have a pleasant stay. The multi-lingual front desk staff were lovely although we didn't need to interact with them a lot as we were out quite a bit. Would I stay again? Probably not unless I was going to be spending more time at the cathedral because the neighborhood wasn't as interesting or engaging as some of the other barrios.
