Adapted Facilities At Hotel Paral.lel Barcelona for Wheelchair, Tourists with a disability or Limited Mobility
Page Content
![]() |
Hotel Paral.lel Barcelona is a two star hotel. In all of our searches it was the only one that we found with reasonable adapted facilities. It has two rooms that they claim are adapted, however, if booking, ensure to ask for room 115 as this is the only one that s truly adapted. Unfortunately, no bathroom has a shower.

If you are booking Hotel Paral.lel ensure that you request room 115 - this is the only truly adapted room in the hotel. Unfortunately, there is no shower in the bathroom. If this is something that you can work with, then Hotel Paral.lel may be an affordable option for you in a city where most adapted hotels are four star superiors.
