"Despite being an easy stroll from buzzy nightlife on Plaça de Catalunya, designer boutiques on Calle Avinyo and the livewire delights of the labyrinthine Barri Gòtic, Hotel Denit is a noise-free sanctuary. Tucked down a quiet sidestreet, its shop-front façade opens onto a chessboard-style black-and-white lobby that sets the tone for the white, minimalist décor that runs throughout. If style is somewhat stark, the reception staff are friendly, and happy to dish out helpful advice about their city. A slightly cramped elevator sweeps you up to 36 rooms spread across 5 floors, where you’ll find a soothing and modern blend of white wood and pale furnishings. Each is cleverly laid out to maximise space, and whilst the focus is on the functional rather than the luxuriant, you still get the odd treat: flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, power showers, complimentary toiletries and free WiFi. But the real beauty of Denit is its location (within easy reach of the city's hotspots) and its prices: the earlier you book, the less you pay. Highs Squeaky clean rooms with attractive décor and equally attractive pricesPeaceful slumbers are guaranteed, yet you're seconds away from the city’s main arteries and close to the street artists and market stalls of Las RamblasFriendly, helpful staff, ably led by manager Jordi, who go that extra mile to help you get the best out of your stayTasty buffet breakfasts (not included in room rate) with plenty of choice and Nespresso coffeeClose to boutiques, department stores and vibrant nightlife, so a perfect choice for those who want to shop and party Lows Bathrooms are behind a frosted glass door rather than being completely separate from the bedroomCozy and Tiny Rooms are cramped, but they make excellent crash pads if you're here to shop, sightsee and eat outRooms at the back are overlooked by neighbouring apartments - but you can always pull down the blinds or request a street-facing roomNo place to park nearby, but we wouldn't recommend bringing a car anyway, especially when Barcelona's transport system is so good" - Heidi Fuller-Love
