A nine year separation since my last visit, it does not seem that long and although there have been changes made, it appears not so. This quiet residential area lends itself to a peaceful almost therapeutic stay. The El Born area of Barcelona is a little under 5km away and only a €15 and 20 minute taxi away for those wanting the vibrancy and diverse Barca culture of innumerable bars and restaurants. Room 36 sited at the back of the hotel has a large balcony and overlooks a canopy of mature trees and bushes. Breakfast is served both inside or on the front terrace and was perfect in every way. With a labyrinth of secluded nooks and crannies as well as a mass of reading material, it is easy to become lodged for several hours whilst the day can pass you by. This perfect spot has it just right.
