This hotel was clean and unique with a modern flair. The service and attention provided at the front desk was well worth it. It was extremely centralized to most everything including shops of all kinds, cafes, restaurants, bars, metros, taxis and all within walking distance. Barcelona's main thoroughfare called 'las Ramblas' was a short distance away, including the port within a short taxi ride. There were squares of all shapes and sizes nearby, all filled with people walking around, seating and eating and enjoying the ambiance at all times. If you can't find somewhere to eat around here, you have a major problem. The only inconvenience we had was the a/c in our room. Every time we returned to it, it took forever for the room to cool enough to be comfortable.
