Hotel Moderno was recommended as a nice, clean hotel. Has anyone stayed there?
No, I haven't stayed there, but we enjoyed L'Antic Espai. A couple of blocks from Las Ramblas. Small boutique hotel with very helpful owners. Very clean. Quick response to inquiries. See reviews on Trip
Advisor.
Dene, I stayed at Hotel Reding 2 weeks ago. Very friendly staff (front desk sent a complimentary bottle of local Cava to our room 20 minutes after we checked in), clean and comfortable hotel and 2 blocks from the Ramblas. Nice little tapas bar across the street, too. Stephen
Am heading to Barcelona on Wednesday and will be back on the 27th. Feel free to send me a private message for timely, first-hand feedback on the two places we are staying at - the Hotel Universal on the front end and the Hotel Fira Palace on the back end.
