H10 Madison is a four-star superior hotel a few metres from the Cathedral, in an early 20th-century building that has been restored throughout, with high ceilings and an interior design built on Barcelona's industrial-design vocabulary. The top floor is the Terrassa del Gòtic, a rooftop with a heated plunge pool, a sun-lounger area, bar service and tapas, and the cathedral in view. Below it are The Avenue restaurant and cocktail bar and two meeting rooms. The hotel publishes a guest score of 4.8 out of 5 from 1,833 reviews on its own website.
A design-led four-star superior a short walk from the Cathedral, where the draw is the cathedral-facing rooftop rather than the rooms
Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
Do not book the plain Classic unless you plan to be out of the room, because it is an interior courtyard room and 22 m² either way. The 23 m² Classic Catedral is the one to book: it costs barely more than the entry room and is the one with the cathedral view that justifies this hotel. Move up to the 32 m² Deluxe only if you need the space, since it looks over an atrium and gives up the view, and it can take three people. The rooftop is the reason most people stay, so book the room and use the roof.
