Best Western Alfa Aeropuerto, Barcelona

Advantages: Multicultural, pleasant and warm
Disadvantages: None

...in the tourists, along with the Wax museum, world famous Opera house "El Liceu" (Yep, I'd never heard of it before either! Should I amend that to "allegedly world famous"? … Sod it, fine as it is), and a number of interesting buildings. Please do keep an eye out for pickpockets though, as this is one of their favourite haunts amongst the number of tourists and the hive of activity. At the western side of La Rambla are many of Barcelona's department stores, which are excellent for shopping.

Advantages: Independently Owned & operated Good Quality
Disadvantages: Very Few

...Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual.
