The hotel has a perfect location for getting around all parts of city. Old town, beach and La Ramblas is walking distance, but the subway in Barcelona is great and easy to use as well as the buses, and the nearest subway station is just a few minutes walk. Breakfast at the hotel is boring and expensive, but there are several places just across the street with lovely offers. We mainly used the hotel as a place to sleep, but the room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. No waterheater or things like that, just a coffeemachine in the reception with instant coffee. Big street outside but the walls and windows were very sound proofed and no noice from inside the hotel or outside.
