This hotel is located in Lesseps about 30 minutes walk to las Ramblas, but very close to the L4 subway station so it was only a quick trip to get to Placa Catalunya and Friday the metro runs til 1am and Saturdays the subway runs 24 hours. We took the airport bus (about 5.10 euro) from the airport to Placa Catalunya and then caught the subway to the hotel. We walked up by the giant library in the Lesseps square to our hotel. There is also a supermarket across the way!
The hotel is nice. You can hear people from upstairs rooms but we slept great. We got a triple occ. and the 2 beds were full beds and one twin. All were comfortable. Some street noise from the cars passing below but its a really quiet residential neighborhood. Our bathroom was clean and we had hot water all of the time! Not too shabby with 3 girls! Room was a decent size and we had a safe and hair dryer but only 3 clothes hangers. There is also an ironing board but no iron. Lots of outlets. The wi-fi isn't free but it reaches to the second floor. No mini fridge but we turned our window into one. (Hey we went in Jan/Feb it was super cold outside so we kept our water and snacks out there. lol)
Reception was nice and helpful. They spoke English! :) You'll see most people in BCN don't! So brush up on some phrases in Spanish! There is breakfast for extra $$ but we never tried it. There is a soda machine and water machine too. (I'd recommend going to the super market and having water on hand no matter what time of year you go) The hotel is next to Park Guell so you can leave that for your last day if you want to relax and walk around the neighborhood. There is also a bakery by the library and a shop with lots of tourist stuff for cheap further down.
For 3 girls in Jan/Feb we loved the place and we'd def stay again! Remember you get what ou pay for. A warm, clean place to sleep. If you want luxury then suck it up and pay for it.
