About this hotel
Central & Basic Universitat is a budget hostal in the heart of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella, next to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) and a five-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya. All its rooms were renovated in 2018 and decorated in vivid colours that create a welcoming atmosphere. They are private rooms, singles, doubles and twins, some with a balcony and with a private or shared bathroom, with free toiletries and free Wi-Fi. The street is lined with shops and supermarkets, and some of the city's trendiest bars and restaurants are five minutes away on foot. La Rambla and the Boqueria market are 800 metres away, and El Prat airport is about thirty minutes by public transport. It suits travellers who want privacy and quiet at an affordable price in the centre.
