 The facilities are older The shower was hard to figure out and made a loud noise at times Sometimes the AC worked at times it didn t We could have requested to have this looked at but we didnt because we were either headed out for the day out or tired Being close to the beach loud party animals voices echo through the streets We requested taxis to and from the airport because we needed a car seat Only once did they get our info wrong and we had to take a taxi without a car seat Now I learned about the aero bus and we took that the last trip These are not reasons not to stay here we will definitely stay here again for the breakfast 
 The staff was friendly and always helpful Large safe in room big enough for our laptops The breakfast was amazing the all you can eat espresso and mimosas was worth the stay You can eat a large breakfast and then not eat tapas until 2or 3 The hotel is right next to the beach but heat and sand can be tough for a toddler so we visited the pool more than the beach The pool is all one deepness Our toddler was the only one everyone else was adults so all the chairs were taken for sunbathers and no one was really in the pool We just waited until a chair became free The pool was quiet so we felt we had to keep our voices down The pool had a bar tender so the whole family enjoyed the pool The hotel is walking distance to the beach and beach restaurants It is also easy to get a taxi or jump on buses I wish there were more cafes around it but we walked down and found some It can be a little ghost town after 10pm but we stayed out until 12am yes with our toddler but it was completely safe We found Barcelona very child friendly with playgrounds almost in every block Instead of requesting expensive taxis to and from the airport because of car seats Take the aerobus It will drop you at the Plaza de Espanya Enjoy some of the cafes in that neighborhood and then get the H16 bus to the hotel Cheap and the busses have AC car seat problem solved
