It was conveniently located near the Tivoli Park and the central station. And I was able to walk to the shops and museums. Above all, the furniture was lovely.
DO Placa Real is located in the heart of center of Barcelona. Expect crowds in the area but it also means that restaurants and other amenities are easily accessible. We found we could walk easily or take the metro easily. The hotel was very clean and provided everything we needed including robes and towel warmers.
