 As a general comment the hotel is in need of some investment particularly in the bedrooms where the d cor is tired a bit shabby and the furniture has been well used I am sure the rooms vary but mine was very dark with just a small corner window facing into a courtyard The dark coloured furniture did nothing to brighten the room There was a sense of staleness and lack of freshness The only negative on the breakfast which was really very good is that the scrambled eggs on all three mornings were poor overcooked and unappetising looking surprising as the Spanish do them so good There is no proper restaurant but you can dine from a limited menu right through the day and evening from the bar area where there are about four tables not the most atmospheric dining experience but expect most people go to restaurants nearby Because I was on a yoga course I was not in going out mode so dined in bar on two evenings and have to say bit to my surprise the caprese salad was the best I have ever eaten and the other dishes I saw looked great too 
 The hotel is in an excellent location on the Grand Via and about five minutes walk to Placa de Catalunya and the top of La Rambla There is a great choice of restaurants nearby I had a very comfortable and spacious room superior with spacious well functioning bathroom The Wi Fi was excellent quality and easy to use The breakfast was very good with great variety and very friendly and excellent staff The staff on reception were very professional helpful friendly and smiley always ready to offer a complimentary glass of cava to sip while a query is being dealt with I stayed for three nights and on the night of my arrival I realised I had left the key of my suitcase in my car at the airport One of the managers took great time and patience to open it without damaging the case in another hotel they would have you calling for a locksmith
