Great locstion, excellent service. Bathroom was a little tired (cracked cistern), wardrobe door and bathroom door also damaged. Surrounding area has great selection of restaurants. Crime in area though. Saw two incidents of theft; one in a supermarket, another where someone attempted to rob a person of their bags in the street. Made us wary to leave hotel in the evening. Public transport excellent, adjacent to parral-lel station. Again, lots of beggars at the station though, some aggressive and moved on by staff.

The hotel is right next to a metro stop and walking distance to the old part of Barcelona. Our room looked onto the street though and because of the metro stop, it was fairly noisy with people walking past.
