Me and my friend stopped in this hotel when we visited Barcelona for a few days before catching a train to Valencia and I must say it was probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in!!
We booked the hotel after seeing it on the expedia website, and was impressed by its description on location and the look of the rooms. Price wise it was very cheap, we got it for approx £48 per night and stayed there two nights in total.
On arriving in Barcelona after catching an easyjet plane from Newcastle we jumped on a train into the centre of Barcelona then hopped on the underground to this hotel. When we arrived I was very impressed by the entrance to the hotel, the look of it inside and the style it looks very posh and expensive. We were greeted by very friendly staff and were checked in quickly and given our keys to our room. There was a bell boy to hand to help you with your luggage should you need it, and the atmosphere was plesant and chilled.
When we arrived to our room i was greated with a clean, stylish, gorgeous looking room with a walk in shower which had jets coming out the wall and it had a nice dark wood feel to it. First thing i did was went up onto the roof to the pool, where there was sun loungers, complementary slippers and towels and a small bizarre river style pool but was very nice. The hotel had everything you needed a nice bar, all the mod cons a nice restaraunt with lush food and staff were always happy to help and make your stay a pleasant one!
Location wise was great, it was a 5 minute walk to the nearest beach and the tram stopped just outside the hotel which you could take to the centre of Barcelona where there was bars, restaraunts and shops and there was a huge indoor shopping cenre just around the corner where i found a mac donalds, which had more restaraunts and a couple of quiet road side bars. The hotel is more in the spanish area of Barcelona where everyone lives, but within easy access to transport, including tube and local busses!
If your visitingf Barcelona and want to be locaed slightly out from the main hussle and bussle of the city, want to stay somewhere that oozes style and sophistication with easy access to everything the city has to offer then this is the place for you. There was also a larger pool on a lower floor of the hotel and the views of the surrounding area was amazing especially from the roof top which was 20+ floors up.
Next time i visit it will def be where i stay, but maybe next time i will get a taxi as it can be very tiring when its 30+ degrees and your on a train sweating your socks off. The underground was not too bad as it had aircon but still stuffy as you can probably imagine.
