 My room faced the interior atrium a small area inaccessible to guests All interior rooms have a view of this space I didn t spend much time in my room but those planning to do so may want to spring for the pricier rooms on the exterior side There is a rooftop terrace with a gorgeous view open to all guests but it is only open from 10 10 so early morning coffee or a late night cocktail with a view is not an option Additionally be aware that the pool is little more than a wading pond and there are only a few deck chairs in the pool area This is typical for many European hotels but the photos on the website are slightly misleading 
 The location is amazing right across from the cathedral The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly They keep your key when you leave the hotel so it s one less thing to think about keeping track of while you re out exploring beautiful Barcelona Upon returning to the hotel tapas and cocktails are available in the restaurant bar or the terrace area The view from the terrace is gorgeous so I d recommend that option as there is no view in the bar The tapas aren t that special but the view improves them If you re especially hungry there are countless delicious options steps from the hotel
