Yes no worries - always staff around and fab location

I agree. The hotel itself felt quite safe (except be careful, the bathroom floor tiles are slick and made me take a fall). The facing street, La Rambla, is the beating heart of Barcelona night life and the pedestrian taffic doesn't let up until quite late on any night of the week. There's a police station a few doors away.

The one rampant problem in Barcelona is that there are pickpockets everywhere, so plan to keep your goods in front of you--your backpack will wind up empty if on your back! I use a small shoulder wallet and I trained myself to keep my hand on it at all times, except when dining I'd hang it between my legs.

Try to get a room that faces into the courtyard to avoid street noise. Definitely pay for their breakfast buffet, one of the best I had in my 35-day European trip. There's a Gaudi around the corner that's nice to see with no lines, unlike Sagrada Familia.

The Hotel is on the busiest street “Las Ramblas” and it felt totally secure and safe when we were there! Lots of Guardia patrolling and it is just down the road from a Police Station!
