Never been to Barcelona before. This hotel is a few stops (about 7 mins) on the tram to the centre. The hotel is lovely, on arrival the man on reception spent 20 mins telling us all the information we asked for. The bedroom wasn’t massive, the bed was, but it was very adequate, spotlessly clean and I was grateful for the free safety deposit box in the room. Lovely fluffy towels that were changed daily by maid service, which was also excellent. The small pool and bar area was also good, and prices at that bar were very reasonable. We booked the hotel room only and never ate in the hotel or used the downstairs bar so I cannot comment on that. The hotel is so well located for a good selection of bars and restaurants all within a short walk. Also a few good ladies clothes shops and excellent bread and patisserie shops. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel as a base for a stay in Barcelona, it is cheaper and quieter than staying centrally, the staff cannot do enough for you, and getting around with a travel card is easy and inexpensive.
