This hotel is centralized near the Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas. It is a great location for tourists because it's near everything, metro station at Placa Catalunya, restaurants, Star Bucks, and department stores. Las Ramblas is nearby and within walking distance. The hotel itself is being renovated but our room on the 3rd floor was fine with the exception that it did not have WIFI during the 3 nights we were staying there. I think the hotel has WIFI except at this room, The hotel staff did not apologize for lack of WIFI access but claimed it was due to our electronic devices which is ridiculous since the devices worked everywhere else in the city. The room is spacious enough, has a safe, has a mini frig which is very handy, tea kettle, large bed that has a recline function, flat screen TV with numerous channels,
Our reservation included breakfast which is normally 25 Euros. It was pretty good variety of breads, eggs, meats, anti pasta, coffee, juices, fruit, and deserts. Not too many people used the service though.
Otherwise the hotel's location is great, staff are helpful, WIFI needs to be corrected.
My other complaint was that the taxi from the hotel to the airport should be 30 Euros according to the hotel staff. The taxi took us to the Barcelona Airport, charged me 30 Euro plus an additional 9 Euro for what the driver said was for taxes which I don't really believe is accurate. read more
