Hotel Ciutadella Barcelona

Set in a 20th-century block near Estació de França rail station, this hotel offers good-value substance over style. The smallish rooms are hardly glamorous, but they are clean and comfortable, featuring both air conditioning and double glazed windows (the light gets in, the noise does not). The busy avenue below is an unremarkable part of town, but you’ll be perfectly positioned for the bars and restaurants of trendy Born nearby or for spending a day at the beach. And don’t miss the rail station, a Noucentista gem. Friendly staff make the Ciutadella a solid choice.
