Moxy Barcelona sits in Sants-Montjuïc, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: a short ride from the main sights, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With well over 4,200 reviews on the books and a solid average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €175 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Moxy Barcelona reads as one of those Barcelona addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
