Melon District Poble Sec is a student residence and a new concept of accommodation for young travelers who are looking for a place to stay in Barcelona.
Located on the well-known Parallel Avenue, and just 10 minutes walking distance to the city center, Melon District offers private single and twin rooms for daily stays with a small private bathroom and a shared cooking lounge to cook socialise with others and relax. The residence boasts a pool and a solarium on the roof so guests can enjoy the mild Barcelona weather during the summer season. The warm multicultural atmosphere is created through the international students who are coming to Barcelona to study or work for longer periods, or who are just dropping by for a holiday. A bilingual staff (English / Spanish) will welcome you at the meeting lounge. On the ground floor of your residence you can find our Meloncafe where you can have breakfast.
We are located on 101 Parallel Avenue (on the corner of Blasco de Garay Street in the neighborhood of Poble Sec), just 10 minutes walking distance to the world-famous promenade of Las Ramblas and Barcelona's Ciutat Vella district. Once there, you can visit the Barri Gòtic, the city's medieval core, and find yourself in a maze of narrow alleyways clustered around the splendid gothic Cathedral of Barcelona. Quirky shops, tastefully decorated bars, and eateries abound. Don't miss the Museu Picasso and the Museu d'Història de la Ciutat.
