Hotel Princesa Sofia, Barcelona

I recently stayed in the Princesa Sofia for 3 nights and the stay was very enjoyable. We booked through hotels.com and got the third night for free.
The hotel is very close to the Maria Cristina metro station from where you can take the underground to see all the sights of Barcelona. A T10 ticket is the best value allowing 10 journeys for the price of only 6.
The hotel itself was very clean and the facilities were execellent.
It has a swimming pool, gym, spa and loads of salons.
A word of warning though, if you book over the internet and get a cheap deal, it is unlikely that breakfast is included in your price. This cost us an extra 21 euro each per morning for the brakfast buffet, which was just OK but not worth the money, but you can keep track of your bill on the TV in the room. Also the bar in the evening is very expensive charging 6.80 euro for a bottle of beer. This can be purchased just across the street for 2.25 euro.
I must however the hotel is brilliant and the service is first class.
The rooms are cleaned every day and I left a tip on the TV for the cleaners but they didnt take it.
