In a nutshell
Reding Hotel Barcelona offers a standard hotel that is well situated for those who need to be close to the Universities or Plaça de Catalunya. It is a functional accommodation, slightly lacking in the Spanish character that some might hope for from their hotel. However, its friendly staff and central location may provide just what many holidaymakers are looking for.
