We loved the view of the cathedral and the central location near the Gothic Quarter. Having a coffee machine in the lobby was exceptional.

Terry United States of America

Corner room was beautiful and spacious. Perfect central location. Pleasantly surprised by the two porches. Bed was very comfortable, amenities were perfectly adequate for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful, they were able to accommodate (though did not guarantee) an early check in for us. 10/10 no issues, would absolutely book again. Overall exceeded my expectations.

James United States of America

great location, comfortable bed, coffee/tea/water available for free, nice balcony

Natalie Poland

Exactly as pictured. it was clean & comfortable, with a beautiful view from the balcony. the location was unbeatable

Guleryuz United States of America

The location was outstanding - center of old town and within walking distance of all key needs - restaurants, shopping, sightseeing. The room was clean and beds comfortable.

James New Caledonia

the property is in the perfect location and is very cute and boutique like.

Caitlyn United States of America

A+ on the lighting! Best lit hotel room that we have ever stayed in! The balcony was amazing! It was a small balcony with two stool-chairs and overlooked the Palau Reial Major (https://www.barcelonaturisme.com/wv3/en/page/557/placa-del-rei.html) which also offers tours. The shower worked well and was a good size and included a wand. The common area is very nice and has water, coffee, and tea (which is great for early risers needing their caffeine as literally no where around is open before like 7:30am). The staff is 24/7 and very kind and will buz you in after hours. The floors and elevators are well marked to get you to the flat, but it would be useful for The Moods to provide that information in the contact email (I.e. press H in the elevator or walk up 3 flights of stairs). For the location and price, and the view of a castle right off of the Plaça Nova, it was a great deal!

Ashley United States of America

Great location! The staff was wonderful but most importantly….the bed was comfortable!

Chris Canada

Small but clean, updated room for a pleasant stay. The location was fantastic, and we had a small balcony with a view. I am a sucker for a nice quiet place to take in the city while people below start their mornings or meander in the evening.

Anne United States of America

Loved the little balcony though too hot to use, most of the time. Hubby wanted a straight back chair, but none to be had. Shower looked easy but hard to figure out. Good common area and coffee, etc. Cute elevator.

Property info

At The Moods Catedral, we’ve aimed to transmit the lightness and simplicity of this landscape into our hostel in the centre of Barcelona, a unique and cosy urban refuge where you will feel at home in part for the conservation of the local architecture, the use of artisanal materials, typical of Spain, and a décor that is both comfortable and relaxed. We’ve taken great care with each detail to make our hotel in Vía Laietana your second home in Ciudad Condal. We achieved this thanks to some warm and understated settings that will connect you to the local essence while allowing you to enjoy the harmony and peace present through all our rooms. With a central location and great tranquillity, The Moods Catedral has two top features the urban wanderer yearns for. The architectonic value of the building we’ve transformed into a modern hostel sits at the centre of Barcelona.
