 The staff were pleasant enough but not too friendly The woman who checked us in almost charged us 800 too much and when I pointed out that the amount she had put on the card machine was different to that she had showed me on the computer she just said that was the amount with the currency conversion which was obviously incorrect She understood in the end and amended it but didn t apologise for what could have been a massive over charge Additionally I exchanged a 100 note for some smaller notes at the reception and the guy gave me a 50 and other notes When I tried to use the 50 note later in the day to pay for the cable car I was told it was counterfeit The woman showed me and compared it to a real note and you could then see it wasn t real I returned to the reception and after 10 minutes of the woman looking for a UV light bulb she asked her manager and they did exchange it for another 50 note and apologised for the error and apparently destroyed the note The pillows on the beds were bit rubbish One of them which was a normal size had a horrible leather like cover on it which none of us could sleep on The other pillow was very small height wise so it wasn t that comfy Prices for drinks at the rooftop bar were a little pricey although I guess this can be expected due to the hotel location A little far from the beach sagrada familia las ramblas But only about 7 taxi to all of them There is a metro station right outside the hotel but we didn t use this 
 The rooftop pool was brilliant could be a few more sunbeds but we managed to get one each time Complimentary beach towels also good Bar staff were friendly The food looked nice but we ate out instead Clean rooms and housekeeping gave us fresh toiletries each day Mini bar was able to be used as a fridge which was also good Although one of our rooms had no mini bar at all which was a bit inconvenient Great location the magic fountains are a 5 mins walk the otherside of the roundabout Theres a large shopping centre across the road with restaurants supermarket Also lots of nice small restaurants on the surrounding roads
