H10 Cubik is a four-star superior hotel on Via Laietana, very close to the Cathedral, with a Brutalist interior built from geometric forms and flat colour. The Atik Terrace on the top floor has a plunge pool, a sun-lounger area for guests only and the cathedral in view, with a bar serving tapas. The Market Restaurant handles breakfast. The hotel publishes a guest score of 4.8 out of 5 from 2,209 reviews on its own website. Note that the gym is not in the building: it is a partner facility 100 metres away.
A Brutalist design hotel for people who care about the interior, on an avenue rather than in a medieval lane
Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
There are two 21 m² rooms and they are completely different propositions, so pick by aspect rather than by price. The Classic faces the interior atrium and is quiet but has no window on Barcelona; the Classic Barcelona faces the street for direct light and views of the Gothic Quarter or Via Laietana. If you want outdoor space, the Classic Terrace is the same 21 m² with a furnished private terrace, which is the best value in the hotel. Go up to the 28 m² Superior Barcelona only for the floor-to-ceiling windows, since the extra seven square metres is not the main event.
Situated at Via Laietana, 69 – historic centre, near the Cathedral, 08003 Barcelona, placing you in the historic heart of the Barri Gòtic.
Travellers who want a genuine five-star with a Michelin-Key restaurant and a Roman-walls setting, and who are willing to pay for it
Couples who want the harbour and the sea in view from a small five-star, rather than a pool
Couples who want a small historic building on a quiet square and do not need a pool or a gym
