Catalonia Magdalenes was the perfect spot to stay. We walked everywhere, even the Plaça de España train station, Parc Montjuic and Sagrada Familia. (Too far to walk to Parc Guëll!) It is close to the Barcelona Cathedral, Picasso Museum, Palau de la Música and right around the corner from the 4 Cats restaurant. (Restaurant good; tapas: meh.) There are many dining options nearby. Their sister hotel, Catalonia Cathedral, is a few blocks away and has an excellent restaurant. All staff at Catalonia Magdalenes were wonderfully helpful. Make sure to sign up for the breakfast with your room. They offer a delicious selection of hot and cold foods, available until noon each day. We had room 211, which was a nice distance from the elevators and very comfortable and quiet. The window looked out into the courtyard below. Room seating was limited to a desk chair and a built-in padded window bench, but that was enough. The TV allowed Chromecast, which we found isn’t always an option in European hotels. We were very happy with our hotel choice!
