A three star hotel in the upper part of the city, renovated in 2003. Very comfortable rooms, particularly the suites are a give away for the price: A standard double room with a king bed with a separate small living room, with a TV set in each room.
This hotel if you don't know it, most probably, it would not be the one to choose off a list because you would think is just a three star not centrally located... But it is an excellent hotel, with all modern confort, reasonably priced, and very well situated away from downtown noise and at the same time, walking distance to the core of the city. In less than 15 minutes walking you can be right in Paseo de Gracia and while you get there you will be passing by many, many interesting shops and restaurants. Then at night, when you don't want to go to far for dinner, there are a few good restaurants not more than two blocks away that surely will more than please you for less than you planned to spend on dinner. An excellent choice for example, would be "La Bodega" they serve typical Catalonian food (have to reserve because it is always full.) Another tip for less fancy but very good, is El Pescadito, ask at front desk for directions to both.
