Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Catalonia Barcelona Plaza enjoys a superb location with convenient access to the metro, making city exploration easy; the Aerobus from the airport even stops nearby. Many guests appreciated the fresh eggs served at breakfast. Rooms are modern and well-designed. Though some found the shower curtains to have a mildew smell.
