The hotel location is key to this hotel. Also, it is newly renovated and the decor is subdued but functional. We had a rather small room but with a balcony that overlooks the plaza and if you look sideways towards the right, you will see the ocean. The breakfast in this hotel was the best we had in our trip. It was well curated and was very tasty and delicious, specially the bacon which I believe was the highlight. The server was dedicated and took pride in the presentation. She did not speak English but we can hear and understand her very well by just her passionate expression. Highly recommend this place. It's near Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarters. It's the place to be when in Barcelona.
