The location was good, walking distance to the subway station and close to some tourist attractions; it was located in a nice and quiet residential neighborhood. The room itself was on a small side, but clean; however, it had no theme, no paintings or anything on the walls, just a desk, chair, and tv, The bed had a plain white comforter which made the room very boring. There were no colors in the room at all. The bathroom was very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help us find things we were looking for in the city. Overall we had a pleasant stay, but I wouldnt call it a 4 star hotel.

We arrived early in the morning before our room was ready and the desk clerk was very helpful in providing information on the area and things to do while we waited. We spoke to her a few more times during the stay as well as others who were always very courteous (and were gracious in allowing me to practice my Spanish!)

The room was very large and well designed. Some of the detail work was a bit lacking, but not a big deal. The location is excellent, in downtown and near major metro stations as well as convenience stores and a newspaper stand.

What was good - Pleasant and helpful reception, location, 6 or 7 min walk to Urgell Metro then 5 mins on the Metro to Catalunya (Top of the Ramblas), 10 min walk from airport bus. DVD player in room.

What could have been better - The room's decor could only be described as 'Dull and Soviet', no pictures, laminate floor, small window and narrow T shaped room. Air conditioning didn't do anything at all except made a noise, too hot at night. Breakfast was unexciting but satisfactory.

What was disappointing - The bathroom, unbelievably, has a GLASS swing door, fortunately I had read a previous review and took a roll of aluminium foil to cover it up.

We really had a great stay here- the room was huge, really nice and really clean. Its a good hotel, staff were very nice. Only thin is that's its a good 20 min walk to the centre of the action - as in near the water. It really is a good hotel though, I would recommend it.
