Traveling to Barcelona and decided on Pension Dali , (C/Boqueria, 12), or Pension Alba , (Carrer de L'Hospital, 83). Plenty of posts on Dali, but none on Alba. Anyone been there? Comments on Alba? Both located near the Ramblas. Alba is across from Antic Hospital Santa Creu. Any comments about that side of the Ramblas, versus the Barri Gotic side? Or does anyone have a pension or hostel to recommend? I have been through every pension in the Barcelona listing on MadridMan and would appreciate any input you can give. Thanks so much!
