We loved Hotel Brick. Wonderful, clean accommodations and easily accessible to the metro and great shopping! Not in the heart of Barcelona (La Rambla, Gran via etc) but they were not hard to get to, and honestly the distance from it was great. This is also very near Barcelona Sants Train station so that was a great convenience that our family walked with our big luggage to and from the station, but it's also easy and close enough for an affordable taxi ride. Definitely felt more like a locals area and loved this neighborhood and loved the hotel and the staff. Would definitely come back here.
