My experience on the rambla in Barcelona

Advantages: There are many great restaurants, exciting place, great nightlife and friendly people
Disadvantages: It is quite crowded, some shops/restaurants may be expensive

There are many great restaurants along the rambla, the locals are friendly and the level of service to expect in the restaurants along the rambla is quite high. I would walk along the rambla many more times. I would ...

This is on of the main stations and, as a result, you can get to anywhere in Barcelona from here very easily. - -The Hotel- - The hotel is extremely ...

Hotel Balmes - great hotel in a great spot of Barcelona!

Advantages: *Great location to Metro stations *Modern, clean and comfortable furnishings *Good staff
Disadvantages: *Pool is small *Expensive food and drinks in the hotel

...we walked past! All in all, we had a great time in Barcelona, and staying at the Balmes Hotel was ideal for us, both in location, service and value - I really recommend it for those who want good value for money but no compromise on style or comfort. ...
