Fodor's Expert Review Apuntadores 8

A favorite among budget urban travelers, this lodging in the heart of the old town, within strolling distance of the bustling Passeig des Born, has a rooftop terrace with arguably the city's best view—overlooking the cathedral and the sea. The recently spruced-up bedrooms may not wow with closet space or amenities, but they are a decent size for the price, and all have heating and air-conditioning, a desk, and a mini fridge; ask for one with a balcony. Open year-round, the hotel draws a mix of young and older couples, from Spain and elsewhere in Europe.
