Just back from our trip to Barcelona, and what a lovely place to stay. The hotel isn't the prettiest, and feels quite dated, but the room was a good size, everything was cleaned daily, fantastic shower and the staff were wonderful.
We were greeted by a man called Danny who gave us two maps, circling all the best paces to go. He gave us fantastic recommendations for food and drink, all of which were amazing - his recommendations did not disappoint!! He also told us where to avoid which was great, and offered to book any tickets online for us should we wish to - all in all, a very friendly & helpful man.
The location of the hotel could not be better, the local restaurants & cafes were lovely and, if you like not being in the busy centres, this location is perfect for you. It is far enough away to be peaceful, but everything is so easily accessible - the Metro is so easy (and cheap) to use, the Hospital Sant Pau is seconds from the hotel and the Sagrada Familia is a 5-10 minute stroll.
All in all, a lovely stay and I would definitely book here again if coming back to Barcelona.
