Advantages: great staff, clean modern rooms, peaceful location Disadvantages: not very central
how everything in the room worked.)
They helped us with booking taxis, reserving tables in restaurants, provided friendly service in the hotel bar and greeted us each time we left and entered the hotel. When we and others experienced difficulty finding a taxi on the night Barcelona FC played Real Madrid, they kept their cool, put up with verbal attacks from an unpleasant French guest, did their utmost to resolve the problem and offer alternative solutions.
Reception staff, porters, doorman and bar staff ALL spoke brilliant English and were friendly and keen to talk to us.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Barcelona Zoo for me was the habitats the animals were kept in. They are by no means small and the animals have plenty of room to roam around and feel comfortable.
