We stayed two nights at the AC l'Illa hotel in Barcelona. We had a very good experience.
The hotel is located on the Diagonsl, the long street running across the city. There!'s a tram line outside, but the end of the line is about a block to the right. This means you can only effectively take it in one direction. We used taxis during our stay.
The hotel is modern and clean lined. It's gorgeous! We had a suite, which had plenty of space. Looking at the floor plan the other rooms were probably suites too. The corridor was enormous. Like I said, there's plenty of space.
The suite was well appointed. The bed was wonderful. Leather sofa in the living room. The windows face onto the Diagonal, however they are effectively sealed to block out street noise. There's a double pane sealed layer of glass,then, six inches behind it is another double paned layer of glass.
The hotel is located within the 150 store l'Illa shopping center. Since it was raining all day, this was very convenient.
Are there negatives? I'm not sure how far away the metro subway stop is. The hotel is in an upscale district with lots of offices and a hospital. You need to leave the area to get to the center of town with the tourist attractions.
We were very happy with our stay. We would return.
