Great Street to Stay on, but Horrific non-customer service oriented hotel
This is a great neighborhood to stay in. Via Layentana is parallel to Las Ramblas by 2 blocks. On one end you have the port and on the other the Sq. It is adjacent the Barrio Gothic district and Old Town. Many options for food and drink and close to tansportation, but also very walkable as well. The Staff on the other hand is rude, unfriendly and acts as if they are paying you to stay there. There is NO INTERNET at this hotel. They advertise free high-speed-wireless. It doesn’t work. It did not work for the 5 nights i stayed there. Everyday there was a different excuse with a promise of a technician in the am to fix it. Never happened. The two PC s that in the lounge, but the internet on those are slower than a dial up modem via 1998. The attitude of the staff was horrific. I was told "what do you want, it’s free". Free nothing, high speed was advertised, not non existent, non working speed. Even on their own computers. I could let the internet thing go, but the maid service was even worse. The beds were made and the trash was emptied, thats all. The bathrooms were never cleaned nor were the glasses replaced. Candy wrappers were left in the same place for 3 days in a row. I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels which were given to me with an attitude. DONT STAY HERE! It will give you a bad impression of the beautiful people of Catalunya.

Great location, but really busy street
Hotel is close to everything a tourist would want but on the superhighway of the Cathedral district. Our room faced the highway and we had to stuff a book into the ’soundproof’ french doors (outside the old doors, read as windows) to get it quiet. Acoustics are also bad in the hallways with lots of doors banging shut, so we slept with earplugs. Aside from that, a very clean room, good breakfast.
Traveler's tip on dining
We dined twice at the Taller Tapas restaurant at the Place Sant Josep Oriol (hard to find, but next to the little Sant Josep church) a few blocks off the Ramblas. Especially god are the chefs fish specials.

What a Trip
This was a nice hotel and close to everything. the staff was very friendly and helpful for the most part. We had a really small small room at first but they moved us and we were very comfortable. The hotel was clean and quiet and I am very particular in this regard. The computer access in the lobby was a life saver when my phone stopped working. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
