 The hotel map of Barcelona was pretty useless for walking around the city except to give you a rough idea of where things were It was geared towards the very expensive hop on hop off tourist bus I d been to Barcelona previously so it wasn t so much of an issue but I still called in at the Tourist Info centre in Pla a de Catalunya to pick up a better map 
 The location of this hotel is fantastic 2 mins walk to the hip bars and food of the Le Born area perfect for a more relaxed visit to Barcelona It s not as central for public transport as some other places but all of the Gothic quarter is walkable even in the heat of summer and there is a public bus right outside that stops a block away from the Sagrada Familia The rooftop pool was lovely breakfast was excellent and all the staff were warm and friendly All in all good value for the quality of the hotel and the service we received we would definitely stay here on a return visit to Barcelona
