If you want drama in your hotel stay or stunning views, this place is not for you. But if you want a quiet, well designed space, outstanding bedding, great location, professional staff and excellent breakfast, this place is for you. This is now one of my favorite hotels in Europe. The rooms are completely renovated and the designers used the space very well. I am sorry I didn't take pictures, but the property picture are accurate. The built in storage is very convenient and allows you to store away several of your items. The safe fits a laptop. The bathroom has two massive heated mirrors and full length quartz shelves running the complete length. This gives you ample space for all of your health and beauty products. This is truly a rarity even in a 5 star hotel, but it's just part of the well thought out design in this hotel. The shower is excellent - great pressure and temperature - and the climate control worked very well. As mentioned, the breakfast is excellent and the breakfast staff is very friendly. It is a buffet setup, but they bring fresh items around to all the tables, as well. The location is between Segrada Familia and the Gothic Quarter. We walked to both, but there are numerous cabs passing by, so very easy to take a cab if you are tired or in a hurry. I cannot speak to public transit because we didn't have time on this trip to figure out the system, but cabs in Barcelona are reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.
