We highly recommend this hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful but special praise should be given to Victor. This gentleman is a fine ambassador for this hotel and indeed the Melia hotel group. He was courteous, professional and most welcoming when we first arrived. This is a 5 star hotel and we thought the rating was well deserved. The decor and ambience of the hotel is excellent. The room itself was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom features a shower with multi nozzles. There was also a bath. Perfect for relaxing after a day visiting wonderful sights of Barcelona. I should mention there was a problem with the air conditioning in the but the engineer arrived promptly and it was fixed. There is a bar and Italian restaurant within the hotel. We just had a few drinks and were given complimentary nuts. I observed that the restaurant has an authentic pizza oven and a fellow guest was served what looked like a super pizza. The Metro is more than 15 minutes walk away but there is a good bus service too. The breakfast buffet was superb : Spanish cheeses, honey from a simulated hive, Spanish sausage, salamis, ham, breads and the chef was there to provide a bespoke omelette. We noticed quite a few business people in the hotel and an airline pilot from what might have been a Chinese airline with his crew. He had a massive appetite ! His portion at breakfast was much larger than mine. I much also mention the cheesecake in the breakfast buffet. Delicious ! My wife and I agreed that this hotel was truly excellent and we really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona.
