This is a wonderful hotel. It is on the border between the "newer" part of the city with Gaudi buildings and other sites, and the older medieval city with narrow streets, restaurants and shops. There is a subway stop across the street and it is easy to get around. The hotel is stylish and in immaculate condition. The rooms are spacious and up-to-date. We visited in mid-March and the only hiccup was that the main part of the hotel has a central heating/cooling system. The weather was warming up and the heat was still on: our room was hot. The hotel moved us to another room which was not quite as nice but much cooler. We would recommend this hotel as a convenient and elegant place to stay in Barcelona.
