Firstly the hotel will arrange a taxi from the airport which costs €25 each way. Not worth messing with the aero bus and metro when this is so cheap. As a party of 12, six adults and six children we booked 3 family rooms. Each family room consisted of two adjoining rooms at the end of the corridor with locking doors and another lockable door to the corridor. This meant at night you could sleep with both bedroom doors open, giving the children a sense of freedom and security. Everywhere in the hotel is accessed using a swipe card. This makes you feel tremendously secure. The black and white rooms may not be to everyone's taste but they are spotless. Decor doesn't concern me in a hotel but having dirty rooms does. This place is immaculately clean. Soap/shampoo compliment the powerful shower in the adults room and also in the bath/shower twin bedded children's room. The adult bed is so large and comfortable that you can get lost in it. Sleep is easy in the air conditioned comfort. Being in the centre, I expected some noise but it was so quiet here. The pool on the roof terrace isn't heated but is very refreshing, well for the children anyway. I dipped my big toe in and that was enough for me! The views over Madrid are spectacular and you can watch the visitors to the Gaude mansion from the comfort of a sun lounger. There is no bar, but a Carre Four diagonally opposite the hotel sell all the alcohol you will need which you can drink at your leisure on the terrace.
Breakfast is worth having, fresh fruit, hot croissants, bacon, cold meats, cereal, rolls; the list is endless. The unanimous favourite of everyone was the garlic beans!
Everywhere is accessible easily from the hotel either on foot, by metro or via the taxi rank to the left of the hotel.
The staff at the hotel are very helpful and knowledgeable. They act as a concierge booking restaurants and shows for you at no additional cost.
When we return to Barcelona we will definitely stay here again!
