Barcelona, Spain Hotel Rooms at the Vincci

The Maritimo is about 4 blocks from the Ocean, in a quiet part of town, about 2 blocks from a 15 minute ride to downtown Barcelona. It's on the other side of town from the Airport, so either be familiar with the train system, or be prepared to spend 50 Euros on a train ride. The rooms are very clean and spacious, with a modernistic look which I love. The shower had a stone tile and frosted glass wall with an excellent rain shower, and an artistic glass sink. The design touches are very aesthetic for those who like the sleek style. The beds are full-size king, a bit on the hard side. One note: the floors are hard, not carpeted, since the hotel is near the beach. I highly recommend the continental breakfast with a plate of pastries, and first-rate coffee. The staff is knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and absolutely delightful. Our stay in Barcelona would not have been anywhere near as much fun without their guidance and well thought-through recommendations. Their English was also excellent, and they understood us well.

Nice and funky hotel. It has a lovely layout and design the room was very comfortable. The location is near the beach and a metro ride away from La Ramblas and other places to sight - see.
