 The only negative comment was the matter of only 2 elevators in a hotel with many rooms We opted to walk down the 8 flights rather than wait for the slow elevators This isn t a big deal but could be if you were in a particular hurry 
 The ambiance of this rather grand looking place was very welcoming and the location for exploring Barcelona was excellent The options for restaurants and tapa bars near by were great The roof top pool and bar service were nice although we didn t use it except to enjoy the views of the city Our room had a good sized bathroom with double sinks almost unheard of in a hotel
