The hotel is centrally located, and most sites in Barcelona are an easy walk or a short metro or cab ride away. The neighborhood is safe, well lit at night, with many good restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery stores. The check-in was easy and quick. The hotel staff was friendly and really helpful, particularly Nada at the front desk. The room was bright with comfortable beds, and the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was clean and huge by European standards, with a wonderful rainfall shower, plenty of hot water, and great water pressure. The flat-screen TV had Spanish-language channels. The hotel has a rooftop pool for relaxing and a restaurant that serves a buffet breakfast. The hotel's overall vibe is relaxed, quiet, comfortable, welcoming, and close to all the great things Barcelona has to offer. I highly recommend the hotel for a memorable stay and good value in the center of Barcelona.
