Worth it for if you've only got a day, couples and solo travellers; not for families with kids.

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • Gothic Quarter (short walk)
  • The marina & Port Vell
  • El Born (walkable)
Cut off from
  • Barceloneta beach proper (walk along the front)
  • Gaudí Eixample sights (metro or taxi)
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

Rooms run from compact entry categories to suites, the best with harbour or rooftop access. The rate includes the design, the rooftop pool and a prime location; the catch is modest room sizes at the lower tiers and a busy waterfront avenue at the door.

Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

The rooftop pool and bar with marina views, plus a position between the Gothic Quarter and the water, are a strong combination.
Not independently verified — estimated
Rooms are stylish but can be on the small side for the rate, and the seafront road out front gets busy.

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • As a couple

    Romantic rooftop sunsets over the marina with the old city right behind you.

  • Solo

    A polished, well-placed base for walking the old town and the waterfront alike.
