Parking is also available.  The sun terrace is a lovely place to relax and has views over the city and on a clear day right up to the fair at the top of Tibidabo.

Hotel Location and Facilities

The hotel Rubens is very near some of Barcelona’s most important medical centres so is a great choice if you have come to Barcelona to have any medical treatments. 

The area in which the Rubens hotel is located is very hilly, though there are good bus connections and the metro is a 7 minute downhill walk away (from your hotel).  The metro stop Vallcarca is 4 stops away from the centre of the city. 

This part of Gracia is very quiet and residential, however there is a bank just down the hill and once you get to the metro, the whole of that street is full of local cafes, restaurants as well as pharmacies, newsagents and food markets.  Parc Guell is close and is a main attraction in Barcelona, and downtown Gracia also has some beautiful architecture.

In a Nutshell

The Rubens hotel is perfectly comfortable and pleasant.  You won’t really feel like you’re in Barcelona, but the city centre is a short metro ride away, and as a consequence the hotel rates are more competitive than staying in a hotel in the very heart of the city centre.
