 We stayed here while attending the Primavera Sound festival which is a ten minute walk from Hotel Vincci Bit While it s a handy location for revellers at the festival or business people visiting the Parc del Forum at other times of the year it s a bit too far out for enjoying the city centre The airport can be reached by taking the metro to El Clot where you then get a train Or get a taxi 40 The local area is a little bit run down and is residential it has a few basic caf s but no bars or restaurants Having said that two metro lines are on the doorstep as is the tram and journeys to Catalunya top of the main shopping street Las Ramblas or Jaume I heart of the bustling Raval area take about 15 minutes You can walk along Avinguda Diagonal up to Glories in about 40 minutes where several museums and the beginning of the city centre can be found It s a nice broad tree lined avenue 
 Excellent standard of service from the various staff members pristine rooms with comfortable bedding efficient air conditioning and large well equipped bathrooms with a lovely waterfall shower The hotel concierge allows you to leave your luggage if you have a lot of time between checking out and departing for the airport
