Can Mario Museum Tours

Nice hotel in a great location. La Rambla can be a bit lively in the evenings but you can't beat the restaurant options and it is very close to public transportation. Very walkable area.

Great location for walking the Gothic Quarter

We loved the location for our first visit to Barcelona. You are right on La Rambla and directly over the market. Everything was walkable and a cab stop right in front. As for the room. It had the potential to be good. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, all we did was "try" to sleep so we didn't spend much time in it. The worst issue was the SMELL,it was nauseating. It smelled just like the sewer on the street. Housekeeping cleaned the toilet, that didn't help. We left our balcony doors open and that cleared it out, but once they were shut the smell returned. Not only did it make us both feel ill, it gave me a terrible headache. Second the AC system did not work properly, it made a high pitched squeal when you ran it. The only reason we needed it was to try and circulate the terrible odor out, but it was too loud. The toilet made a terrible noise too when flushed that would go one for about a minute, no trying to get up quietly in the night. By the time you were overcome by the stench, the noise from the toilet had you wide awake. Finally, the subway runs underneath, be prepared for the rumbling and shaking almost all night. We left early and requested a refund for our unused nights, but it was denied. We didn't really care at that point, we were just ready to get out. Because of a convention the room rate was almost $400 a night, well over the original advertised price so it stung a little, but we didn't care. We were in room 201 for reference.
