Pretty well located in Barcelona--quiet residential area. Rather long walk to most attractions and not too close to metro. Plenty of taxis in the area and many good bus routes if you are up to that. Hotel is clean and neat. Rooms are small but beds are comfortable and the place is great for sleeping which visiting Barcelona. Staff is friendly and helpful and all speak good English. Breakfast buffet is quite nice but not complimentary for Marriott status holders (although if you are Platinum you get 16 euros off each day of your stay). The rate is much better than that for hotel more centrally located.
