 During rush hour it can be a bit noisy For us it was no problem at all but I can imagine if you totally want to get your rest it can be a bit annoying Just ask for a room on a higher floor 
 The location of the hotel is perfect On short walking distance of Plaza de Catalunya Passeig de Gr cia Arco de Triunfo Parc de la Ciutadella 2 Metro stations are close by If you need a taxi there is a taxi stand just in front of the hotel There are several bars restaurants supermercados bakery s etc nearby The room that we had 112 was really spacious clean and smelt fresh The staff were extremely friendly They surprised me on my birthday with a birthday card cake and balloon The Quest Relations Manager Hugo even called to wish me a happy birthday Such a small thing to do to create an excellent quest experience Gracias Hugo
