We had a lovely stay in our street-facing room with a balcony. The room was clean and well maintained, and the location was fantastic for a ramble in the old town, shopping, and visiting Casa Batlló. It was a bit noisy on the street if the balcony door was open, but in a cheerful way, and closing the balcony sliding door and the inner door shut out 95% of the street noise. The breakfast buffet was really excellent and was a perfect way to get ready for a busy day of exploring Barcelona! I will add that the lobby had an excessive amount of fragrance that I would have been happier to do without, but that is regretfully the case in many hotels these days. I prefer clean, fresh air, but if you adore Glade plug-ins, you will probably find it pleasing. Thankfully the breakfast buffet is in a separate area, so your morning meal doesn’t taste like Febreeze. The staff was courteous and helpful, and I only regret that we had so much wine when we were dining out that we never managed to enjoy the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine provided! Overall it was a great place to stay!
