This is an outstanding choice for anyone visiting Barcelona, especially for the first time. The hotel location is ideal - you can walk virtually anywhere, and if you don’t want to walk, the staff will summon a cab. We had absolutely no safety concerns - the front desk was always staffed and the small, well appointed lobby offered immediate sanctuary from the hustle of the street, just steps away. I can’t speak to parking - tho I don’t know why you’d want to bother with a car in Barcelona. And it’s a boutique hotel so there is no bar or restaurant on premise, though they do offer a breakfast option for purchase that we declined - everything you could ever want to eat is right outside the front door. And oh - the a/c was top notch!
