About

El Jardi

El Jardi is a 2-star hotel set in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, on Placa Sant Josep Oriol. It offers 44 rooms, several of which come with a balcony or terrace looking onto the square. The building has a lift, a cash machine, and a 24-hour reception, plus luggage storage and a paid shuttle service.

The location is the main draw: Port Vell is 650 metres away, and Las Ramblas is about a minute on foot. The hotel keeps things simple — rooms are clean and functional with heating, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. A welcome drink is offered, and there’s a leisure/TV room for downtime. Guests can also bring pets.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic facilities and comfort — The 2-star hotel offers minimal amenities — no gym or pool — and comfort scores are lower than other categories, reflecting a simple stay.
  • Street noise from the square — Rooms overlooking Placa Sant Josep Oriol offer vibrant views but can be subject to noise from the busy square, especially for light sleepers.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby, which is limited and costly in the Gothic Quarter.
