 The pool was very cold It probably wasn t heated and they wait for the sun to heat it Nevertheless it was so cold that it was not really possible for my children to swim in it It was disappointing because this is the main reason we booked the hotel 
 Location was great In a quiet part of central Barcelona with little tourists Two blocks from the beach If you want a very central location downtown with tons of touristy bars then this is not the place If you want a relaxed atmosphere close to the beach it is great There are a few restaurants and a shopping mall catering more to locals nearby which is nice to get away from the crowds 35eur taxi from the airport 8 eur taxi to the La Rambla Some very nice restaurants right along the beach Park and zoo and aquarium nearby Excellent breakfast
