Pleasant hotel in the heart of the city!
The hotel was clean and pleasant. The excellent staff were warm and welcoming and all spoke good English. The lobby area was being renovated, but will be quite beautiful and modern when finished. The hotel is only footsteps from Las Ramblas but very quiet. A basic but tasty breakfast was included, and the hotel provided filtered water, welcome drink, and good value.
