It's a very good hotel lying in a nice street with elegant buildings, carrer Santaló, where there isn't much traffic. The place is therefore relatively quiet. The hotel is very near Travessera de Gràcia, Avenida Diagonal, Barcelona main thoroughfare, and the imposing Plaça Francesc Macià which includes a roundabout in the middle of the stated avenue.
Inside the hotel is cosy and peaceful. At least, I heard hardly any noise so that apparently the building is soundproof and the bedroom windows are well isolated. The room I was allocated was very comfortable so that I was pleased to remain inside for a long time every day; especially the beds are very comfy for their mattresses have the adequate toughness to assure a good sleep. Albeit the bedroom window looks onto the road, the light traffic noise which can be heard wasn't at all disturbing. During the day the room was very well lit up by day light and gay. The bathroom was also nice and comfortable.
The staff members are all kind and friendly, particularly the manageress who works also sometimes at the front desk. The room maids are very helpful indeed and do a very good job.
The breakfast is good and abundant. It's possible for that meal to have several types of health foods and otherwise enough to keep going for several hours. The fresh fruits, for instance, are of a high quality and usually tasty. The pastry is also varied and good. At the same place where breakfast is served, the hotel restaurant, one can likewise have other meals, to wit, lunch and dinner. The relevant menu for those meals includes good dishes. One can choose, among others, a sirloin steak which is usually rather tender. Such a choice entails however the payment of a moderate supplement. The only drawback in that restaurant is that the TV set is normally on at the same time as the music not of a very good quality, by the way, thus bringing about a sort of somewhat awkward mixed-up sounds. Sometimes I begged them to stop the music, to which they had no objection.
By and large therefore that hotel is a recommendable place to stay in Barcelona. The lodging there may certainly contribute to assure the enjoyment of one's stay in the city concerned.
