This is an apartment hotel. The benefit is that our room on the fourth floor was enormous, with every facility for self-catering. The downside is that there are no hotel facilities - bar, restaurant, foyer space. The decor is excellent but unless the management keep an eye on detail, will deteriorate. Examples in our room, flickering lights, broken lid on kettle.
Our main advice in Barcelona is be extremely vigilant with your posessions. Of the six of us there for four days, one had a phone stolen on the underground and one a wallet in the Boqueria market. We had thought both were sensibly tucked safely in pockets. After the theft in the market we went to the police where we saw a steady stream of people who had been robbed in the Boqueria. The worst cases were snatched handbags containing passports, phones, cards and money. The policeman who took our particulars had a pile of some 20-30 reports taken that morning and there were four or five others speaking to victims.
