Wonderful reception staff, who were incredibly helpful. The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable; the shower was sooo good I wanted to bring it home with me. Breakfast was good, with a selection of fruit, pastries, hot food and cold meats and cheeses. Excellent location for the metro with two stations nearby. Pool is a plunge pool on the roof terrace, which was great for me, because no-one else was using it at the time, but it's not a swimming pool (3.5 strokes end to end). It would have been nice to have coffee making facilities in the room but there is a café a couple of doors down from the hotel that opens at 6am so got takeaway coffees from there. The area has some fabulous restaurants within walking distance, as well as Casa Vicens and La Sagrada Familia
