We will return to this hotel on our next trip .

Stayed in the hotel in January 2012. Staff was very helpful, booked superior room. The hotel is not far from the beach but only top floor can enjoy the see view. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is not far from the subway station Ciutadela, some 15 min from Rambla on feet. If you managed to get the rate below EUR 150 p.n. it is worth the money. Otherwise, look for better options - Barcelona is full of opportunities.

In the summer 2009, we spent 6 days in this great hotel.
It lies almost at the beach, and has many of the attractions in walking distance.
At the roof, there is a pool - a very populare one - with a great view. There's not as many sunbeds as guest, witch makes kind of an unpolite culture. Many guest are quite selfish, so often there are towels on all the beds while "the owners of the towels" are either sleeping or eating breakfast.
Luckly there is one other pool, at the ground floor, and you also have 1 minute walk to the beach.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are great with good space and we got a nice view.
The food tasted very good but is totally overpriced. Especially the breakfast - ridicolously expencive. I think it was about 250 norwegian kroner pr.p.

With that said, I have to brag about the town. I really love Barcelona. It's one of my favourite places. It has EVERYTHING.

I would recomend the sighseeing buses, witch you can hop on and off as you please.
Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera (Gaudi's work) are among the most populare attractions in Barcelona. But be prepared for long queue. Casa Batllo and Casa Amatller both looks like they're made of sugar and is worth a look.
Also the view from Museum National D'Art is stunning.
Font Magica is worth a visit when the show is on - fantastic.
We paid both the aqarium and the zoo a visit. In the zoo you get sea-lion- show and dolphin- show, witch I think is quite cute :)
We also took a trip with a Katamaran (sailboat) and enjoyed the sight of Barcelona from a sea- perspective.

I could go on even further with tips and suggestions, but - take a trip to Barcelona and experience everything yourself :)

Stayed only one night in Barcelona for work, flying in early, I was met with a friendly check in desk and was able to check in early. My room was a great size, bed was a real king. Everything was very clean, bathroom had a big bath as well as a separate shower. Didn't get the opportunity to experience the roof top pool (being January) but have no doubt it would be a great place in the Summer time.
All in all a great stay and would certainly stay here again both for business and pleasure.
