"How did it strike you on arrival?Barcelona’s original hipster hotel, Casa Camper, is situated in the Raval neighborhood. This has always been one of the city’s seedier areas, which these days also means it's rather hip. The lobby is black and white and red all over, with sultry mood lighting. What’s the crowd like?Casa Camper draws a trendy young clientele. Tell us about your room.Again, the red, black, and white palette dominates in the modern, minimalist bedrooms, most of which come with a lounge area either incorporated into the room itself or located in a separate space across the hall.

How are the beds?Camper rooms offer a choice between two singles or a double, while Camper suites all come with a double bed.
