In a Nutshell
The H10 Hotel Catalunya Plaza is a small, unfussy hotel in the focal point of much of Barcelona life. Great for those who want to be in the centre but perhaps not so suitable for those who like early nights. Perfect for people watching!
Editor's Note: There are two hotels in Barcelona with very similar names. These are the Catalunya Plaza hotel (this review) which is in Placa Catalunya and then there is the Catalonia Plaza hotel which is in Placa Espanya. Make sure you're booking the right hotel !
