Hotel was clean and comfortable and reception staff very helpful. Checked in early and left bags in secure room on check out as late flight home. Very... useful. Hotel on Rambla de Catalunya a quiet extension of the Rambla itself so very convenient. From Hotel down the Rambla to the port is 1 mile walk. Also walked to Sagrada Familia from hotel. Didn't use hotel restaurant as breakfast was pricey at 20 euros each - cafe 3 doors up road which does breakfast for half the price. Very small lifts. Night doorman is reassuring. Upgraded to room with a Terrace on sixth floor for 15 euros/night and gave more space for room which was quite small. Room a bit dated even though recent upgrade. Strange to have blankets and not a duvet .Bathroom included a bidet so toilet close to the door which only half opened.Included cheap toiletries and one tooth brush! Room overlooked the street which was much quieter than the rest of the Rambla and quiet at night with the windows closed. There is a safe in the rooms but disappointingly no tea or coffee making facility and none available downstairs. Free wi-fi in rooms is a bonus. I would recommend to others as the position is central but relatively quiet at the same time. There is a Metro station 2 blocks away, Starbucks 1 block and the Placa de Catalunya 3 blocks away (10mins walk) where you pick up the start of the Open Bus tours and where the Aerobus transport to/from the airport terminates. by Martin from Cambridge UK on 03/23/13
