“New Hotel, Great Location.”
We stayed at this hotel mid June 2010, and were very pleased with the attentiveness of the staff, and location of the hotel. It is a new hotel, only a few months open and therefore it had some 'quirks'. When we arrived, the toilet was not functioning in our room. When we contacted the front desk, they asked us if it was acceptable to be relocated - we agreed. In the new room, we discovered that the door was not latching properly, and upon notifying the front desk - maintenance arrived to rectify the situation promptly.
There have been numerous comments re: the glass wall and door to the bathroom. We did not find this to be a problem, as the glass was frosted for privacy.
The location of the hotel was FANTASTIC. It is a 7 minute walk to the Placa Catalunya, 5 minutes to the P.Gracia metro line.....etc. Great shopping and tourist areas very close by.
Breakfast was very nice. They had a variety of breads, cakes, cold meats, cheeses, fruit, cold cereal, yogurt, juice, as well as some hot buffet options (egg, potato omelette, bacon, sausage).
Overall, we had a fine stay at this hotel. Glitches were minor, service was superior and we would absolutely consider returning here upon a return to Barcelona.
