I booked HCC Taber for a 5 night stay in Barcelona. First off, the staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Multiple languages spoken which made everything a breeze. The hotel is located in an excellent location, walking distance to the center, gothic quarter, and everything in between. 2 blocks from Casa Balto, and right near all your major transportations stops including bus and subway. It was a great location for going out and exploring, and plenty to do, see and eat in the neighborhood. It was quiet at night so we slept well. We added daily breakfast to our stay which was a smart move. There was a variety of fresh items and hot food, all delicious. Small lounge area for sitting and talking at night along with a small bar in the lobby. Few things to note, but not deal breakers for me, and probably the norm since I don't travel outside the US much- There were no face cloths in the bathroom, and while the AC worked, it didn't get too cold, but was comfortable. Overall, great hotel for travelers and puts you right where you need to be!
