reception desk very polite and helpful,good english,rooms very big and spotless,close to metro station.

Stayed for 3 nights in room for 4 - had twin beds and made up double bed settee. Reception very helpful, found us nice place to eat nearby when we arrived at 11.30pm!!! Room very clean and modern with kitchenette and mini bar. Maid service daily including Spanish newspapers free. (Pity we dont read Spanish!) Nearest underground (metro) station is El Puxtet on L7 which runs til 11pm most nights, v cheap ticket for 10 metro trips called a T10 for just over 6 euros. Even staff at most stations to help tourists get their tickets. when changing lines be prepared for a bit of a hike in some cases, platforms not always very close. Cost one way with about 4 suitcases to airport about 25 to 30 euros. Apparently easily and much cheaper done by rail links that DONT run 24 hrs.

In summary, not the most central hotel but excellent links and great value for money. would definately use again.

Because we were traveling with our older son, we wanted a place where there would be at least a modicum of privacy. We were not disappointed by the low-moderately priced Bonavena Aparthotel. The room was spacious, divided in two parts by a closet unit, and clean. It had a really nice view of a private garden across the street. It was close to public transportation (the subway
stop 3 blocks and a bus route half a block away). The subway is about 4 stops from the Ramblas, and runs frequently, and is safe. The neighborhood was very quiet, and adorned with Michelin recommended restaurants, of which we ate in several. The staff was helpful. One caveat: the parking lot is underground and very difficult to get in and out of. I wouldn't recommend using it other than to park your car when you arrive and drive off when you leave. But due to the easily public transit, this is entirely feasible.
