Barcelona, Catalonia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Location, location, locqtion"

"The rooms were stunning, clean and full of complimentary things. The breakfast buffet Id highly recommend. The staff was always friendly, helpful, probably some of the best we have come across ever. We arrived at night and the area didnt appear to be safe to walk about, however during the day it was absolutely fine. Short 15 min walk to the port and aquarium. Travelling alone with 2 children at no time did we feel unsafe. The only thing that maybe could be looked at is the lack of children options on the resturaunt menu. We ended up ordering in due to not having any options for kids on the menu. "

"The staff speaks perfect English. Very easy to communicate. Quick service call. "

"Great hotel, like all BCN, a dodgy area quite close by. But hotel, room etc all excellent."
