The hotel's location was wonderful. It was easy to reach many attractions. A 24-hour buffet was available. It included drinks, which I found to be a nice perk. My room included a balcony facing La Rambla. It made for interesting viewing.
The hotel looked old. The carpets seemed quite worn. The breakfast options were limited. I found this disappointing. My room felt small. It was difficult to store luggage.
