Hidden gem, Affordable and safe

Hotel Canton is a hidden gem (literally!). Barcelona has been the most expensive city to stay in on our trip so far, but this location was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for an affordable hotel that is right where the action is, this is the place.

Canton Hotel is a modern, comfortable spot in Barcelona’s historic center. It’s an easy walk to landmarks, the room and area had everything I needed for a great stay. I especially enjoyed wandering the narrow streets, walking to the Palau de la Música and Gaudí locations. Highly recommend for a convenient and enjoyable stay for solo travelers and mature adults.

Property is in a really great location, at the doorstep of rambla and not far at all from the Port. A little disappointed with the rooms, noticed ants crawling around quite a few places and there didn't seem to be much air ventilation. Aside from that, hotel was fairly okay for the location it was in.
