Review NH Barri Gòtic Hotel Barcelona
Page Content
 |
On entering the building its large and slightly cold lobby does not do justice to what the hotel has to offer. On closer inspection the hotel's communal areas are clean, cosy and bright - with light coloured woods and yellows and oranges used to add light to the building.
It is a good option for those wishing to be situated close to the Ramblas. It offers a quality that would be a lot more costly if it were directly on the Ramblas, at a location only two minutes walk from the hustle bustle of the street itself. Not to mention the opportunity for a good night's sleep.
Those wishing to have a true Barcelona city break may wish to be five minutes further up the Ramblas. However, NH Barri Gòtic offers 3 star standards in a convenient location.

Hotel Location and Facilities
Hotel NH Barri Gòtic is located just off the bottom of the Ramblas. This is a good location for those wishing to make the most of the Ramblas, without enduring its noise and its seedier side at night.
At the foot of the Ramblas, at the other side of the street to your hotel, is the art gallery- Centre d'Art Santa Monica. It generally displays modern art and is an attractive building with high ceilings and large spaces - ideal for showcasing art.
If you tire of the Ramblas, in the opposite direction on leaving the hotel is the area of El Born. This is an area worth exploring if you are hoping to find cosy bars and local restaurants. Close to your hotel, on Calle del Correu Vell, is my favourite bar in Barcelona - Andu. This is a cosy and dimly lit bar full of chunky wooden tables and mismatching chairs. It is generally always busy, but shouldn't be too difficult to find a seat. It serves quality wine and tasty homemade hummus.

The hotel is also located just behind Barcelona's Port Vell. A short, ten-minute walk along the sea front is the area of Barceloneta. This is the area where the beach can be found. It is also the home of some of Barcelona's best seafood restaurants.
Located close to the Ramblas, most general amenities are in walking distance - a large supermarket, pharmacies, internet cafés and banks.
The hotel's closest Metro stop is Drassanes - less than five minutes walk from the hotel. This will give you the opportunity to travel to popular attractions further up town, such as Park Güell (the Gaudí park), the Sagrada Família or the Gràcia area.
