Loved the hotel and the genuine warmth of their hospitably and helpfulness of the front office staff who couldn't help enough with any questions or help on getting around etc. They all seemed really happy people and enjoyed their job so nothing seemed too much effort. This gives Pol y Grace a great vibe and long may it continue.
The access to free and tea & coffee and the comfortably lounge area to sit in is a great bonus. I am sure the sun terrace on the roof is great in warmer weather.
The location is perfect, so easy to metro / train lines and it isn't really that far to walk either to town. We liked being in the Gracia barrio/neighbourhood eating and going out in, it's good to get away from the real tourist places.
You can easily walk up to Parc Güell, here you get great views of the city of Barcelona and a fab place to hang out in the sunshine.
