Comment
Great central location and friendly staff. Room had little natural light and windows could not open. 3 noisy nights (of 4) with other guests running past our door etc. Basic communal seating and computers (few keyboard letters on 1 computer, so had to pay to switch!)Lovely bathroom and good sized beds. Good value buffet breakfast. Overall great location outweighs negative aspects.
Top Tip
Walk down Las ramblas to Plac Reial on left- so many restaurants to choose from. Rossinis good choice and friendly. Great evening meal at Quinz nits, but had food poisoning after salmon lunch on our final day when flying back in evening.
Take the tourist bus for 2 days and see it all. return with 10 pack metro tickets to places to visit. MUST: Sagradia familial,Parc Gruel, Modern art museum, all Gaudi's houses- Casa Batillo fab!Wander in Barcelonetta by seafront and eat fuidella and paella dishes. Wonderful city- shame weather was so cool and wet.

Good value for money. Breakfast good selection. We arrived early in the morning straight off a cruise at 09:30 but our room was ready and we were able to go straight to it. Also on check out day, there is a very large room where you can leave your luggage. When we returned to get our bags later in the day we were not hurried and still able to use hotel facilities (internet) and sit and rest in the lounge area before going to the airport.
Top Tip
Found some good restaurants close to the hotel - Rita Rouge & Rita Bleu - mexican / oriental fusion!
Be careful though - nearly had wallet pinched right outside hotel when approached by 2 men who asked for directions to a restaurant. They got my husband's wallet out of his pocket but we spotted it and got it back. They pretended they had been joking, but of course they were just common theives - so be on your guard at all times.

Traveller from Hitchin stayed in June,2011
Comment
good location, clean and tidy if a bit dated , staff friendley gave some good advice and saved us lots of money on traveling costs to the airport and on sight seeing trips.
will use again in the futire
Top Tip
avoid using cabs if you can, use the subway its cheap and easy to use. The tour bus was a great way of seeing the sights and you can hop on and off as you want to .
Watch out for phone thieves they stole two phone from tables snear us in moments.
Best resturants are around the harbour great food good value great for people watching
