Location

Where Serras Barcelona is

From there it's an easy stretch to El Born, La Rambla and Barcelona Cathedral, all named on the hotel's own site as nearby. It's a small, waterfront base for guests who want the old town's history with harbor views rather than a room facing the narrow Gòtic streets.
