Close to Las Ramblas, the University and the heart of Barcelona, the Meson Castilla Hotel is within walking distance of most of Barcelona’s attractions. The shopping area along the Passeo de Gracia, the Plaza Catalunya and the Gaudi architecture are all close to this centrally located hotel.
Set in an historic building, this family run hotel offers simple, comfortable accommodation for guests. The 57 rooms have all the essentials of air-conditioning, cable TV, minibar and telephone, but no internet facilities at present. Look beyond the out-dated atmosphere and appreciate the antiques, gilt-trimmed chairs, stained glass windows and wall murals. The walled garden is a quiet oasis to enjoy after the bustle of the city.
Rooms are clean and well-furnished and the newly refurbished bathrooms are a big plus for a budget priced hotel in Barcelona. Breakfast is included and has a wide selection of cereals, breads and croissants served buffet-style in the breakfast room or in the garden. The Hotel Meson Castilla even has its own parking – valuable space in the centre of the city. The concierge is a valuable source of local information on what to see and where to go. Returning in the evening, the hotel is convenient for enjoying typical Spanish cuisine in the local restaurants. The hotel is surrounded by quaint tapas bars, galleries and restaurants.
For those who are looking for a prime location without the luxury hotel price tag, the Meson Casilla is an excellent choice. Simple, comfortable rooms and charming features make this an excellent base from which to explore the city on foot. Most guests are very satisfied with their stay, and give the hotel good ratings.
