t's a good hotel located in an agreeable district in Barcelona near Hospital Clinic. Albeit it's not too close to the center – about twenty minutes walk -, it's very well connected. The building is rather solid and elegant both outside and inside, though it's not apparently soundproof.
The room I was allocated is rather small but comfortable anyway, especially the bed whose mattress has the adequate toughness to assure a good sleep mainly for people having some sort of backache. The desk is also suitable for working comfortably. They made a table lamp available to me so that I could read and write with no problem whatsoever. Since, as stated above, the building isn't apparently soundproof I sometimes heard the voices of the next door neighbours contingent upon the kind of people concerned. That was a bit annoying and made me once even knock on the wall in order to try to have the necessary calm for sleeping. The partition wall betwixt my room and that on the left as one comes into either sometimes got warped when pushed against from the other side.
The staff is rather kind and helpful both the people working at the front desk and at the restaurant as well as the room maids who certainly do an excellent job.
The breakfast is good and abundant, particularly the sweet fruits and the cheese of diverse types and also the croissants and other pastry. Some days there is Spanish omelette, which is usually very well cooked and tasty. That breakfast is therefore enough for one to keep on for several hours without feeling hungry again. At the same restaurant, to wit Restaurant Mares, one can have the other two day meals. I sometimes had lunch there. There is a set menu for those meals. Among the dishes included in it there is a sirloin steak, the ordering of which entails the payment of a moderate supplement, what is worthwhile taking the good quality of the meat into consideration. The only flaw in that restaurant is that sometimes the TV set is on at the same time as music, which doesn't make much sense actually. Whenever I asked them to stop the music however my entreaty was kindly acceded and implemented.
By and large therefore, it's a recommendable place to stay while in Barcelona and, by the way, not expensive.
