Parents also ask

Are the rooms really that big?

Yes, standard rooms and especially the junior suites are among the most generous in central Barcelona, which is a real bonus with children and luggage.

Is it walkable to the main sights?

The aquarium, Maremagnum and the Gothic Quarter are all a short walk over Port Vell; the nearest metro at Drassanes is about ten minutes away.

Is there anything for children at the hotel?

There is a seasonal rooftop pool and plenty of space, but no kids club, so the draw is the location and the roomy family accommodation.
