Fifty metres from Plaça Catalunya, breakfast on the terrace
About this hotel
Room Mate Pau sits just fifty metres from the emblematic Plaça Catalunya, the square where the Eixample's grid meets the old city's medieval streets. Stylish décor and bright, contemporary rooms come with free Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout, along with chic decor in every space. Rooms feature a plasma TV with USB port for laptop connection, a minibar, a safe and a modern private bathroom. A buffet breakfast served daily on the property's shared terrace sets guests up for a day of walking, and the hotel can cater events and various group needs beyond a standard overnight stay. The fifty-metre distance from Plaça Catalunya puts Las Ramblas, the Barri Gòtic and Passeig de Gràcia all within a short walk.

Our take
This suits city-break travelers who want the single most central possible starting point in Barcelona, fifty metres from Plaça Catalunya is genuinely hard to beat. Couples and short-stay travelers get the most from the location and terrace breakfast. Those wanting a quiet, garden-based stay should look toward Sarrià or Pedralbes instead, since Plaça Catalunya stays busy at nearly every hour.
- ✓Eat breakfast on the shared terrace, it's a relaxed way to plan the day's walking route.
- ✓Book early for peak season, the fifty-metre Plaça Catalunya distance makes this address fill up fast.
- ✓Walk rather than taxi to nearly everywhere, the location beats transit for most central sights.

Why guests love itFifty metres from Plaça Catalunya turned out to be exactly as convenient as it sounds, every morning started with breakfast on the shared terrace before setting out for a different neighbourhood entirely on foot. The plasma TV and USB laptop connection were a small but useful touch for planning each day's route. Three nights here covered the Barri Gòtic, Las Ramblas and Passeig de Gràcia without ever needing the metro, which says a lot about the location.
