Room Mate Pau, Barcelona
Design rooms and terrace on Plaza Catalunya
About this hotel
Room Mate Pau sits just 50 metres from Plaza Catalunya, close enough that Las Ramblas and Passeig de Gracia are both a two-minute walk away. Rooms carry chic decor with air conditioning, a plasma TV and a modern private bathroom, while the property's shared terrace is where the daily buffet breakfast is served rather than a separate lounge deck. Guests rate the location especially highly for a two-person trip, a detail that fits a hotel built around design and position rather than a resort-style amenity list. Urquinaona Metro station sits 150 metres away, two stops from Barceloneta and its beach, and the hotel can help arrange tickets and activities for guests who want the front desk to handle logistics rather than planning everything themselves.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a design hotel directly on Plaza Catalunya with Las Ramblas and Passeig de Gracia both within a two-minute walk, and who are happy with a shared terrace used mainly for breakfast rather than a pool deck. Guests wanting a rooftop pool or an evening bar scene should look elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Eat breakfast on the shared terrace rather than in a room, since it is the property's one outdoor space and works best used as intended.
- ✓Walk to Las Ramblas or Passeig de Gracia rather than taking transport, both being two minutes away on foot.
- ✓Ask the front desk to arrange tickets or activities in advance, since the hotel offers this service directly rather than leaving guests to book independently.
