Hotel Location and Facilities
 |
| Hotel Monte Carlo Ramblas |
If you want to be slap bang in the middle of town and the cultural hub of Barcelona then look no further than this hotel. The Montecarlo is situated near the top of Las Ramblas, a 5 minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya and the metro stop of the same name. Being on Las Ramblas means that every facility and most sights of interest are within easy reach. There is a cash point right next door and a pharmacy opposite the hotel. Also across the road is a large Carrefour Express supermarket where you can find a good range of food and cosmetics. If you need the internet then turn left out of the hotel and walk for 5 minutes and there is a telephonic emailing facility.
You are also in walking distance of attractions such as Gaudí's buildings on Passeig de Gràcia, the Gothic Cathedral and the museums and little cafes in El Raval across the street.
