Hotel Canton - A no-frills hotel in the Gothic Quarter with soundproof rooms and proximity to Las Ramblas

Hotel Canton, housed in a historic tan building in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, offers clean, soundproof rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea/coffee makers. The property features a recently renovated breakfast room, a TV lounge with a computer, and a 24-hour business center. Rooms are larger than average for the area, with private bathrooms equipped with walk-in showers or shower/tub combos. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Hotel Canton, and guests booking directly through the hotel receive free breakfast at nearby El Jardi. Located less than 300 meters from Las Ramblas and the Old Port, the hotel is a 20-minute walk from Barceloneta Beach and seven minutes from the harbor. Public transport links provide easy access to landmarks like the Picasso Museum and Mercado de La Boqueria.

the location was central. the room was clean and modern. pure drinking water was available, a definite plus. wifi worked perfectly throughout my stay.

the room i had was quite noisy at night. footsteps in the hallway were easily heard. it wasn't disruptive, but better soundproofing would certainly help.

the tv remote didn't work (i think i only watch tv to fall asleep anyway). it took three days to get a working replacement. also, sometimes there was a weird smell near the hotel entrance. it smelled like the sewers (i guess that's pretty common in old cities).

The hotel is a short walk to the city center. I found my room to be very clean. The staff were efficient and helpful with directions (they provided maps).

The lobby had a bare initial look.
