 While we received a lot of written information upon check in map list of things to do hotel amenities I would add a small conversation about what time the Spanish eat later lunch and later dinner and where to eat or have drinks just a few places to get started 
 This hotel is amazing I can t find any fault Perfect location right on La Rambla for tourism We walked to Port Vell Museo del Picasso shopping restaurants The hotel itself is beautiful and felt so luxurious We had drinks at the bar but didn t eat at the restaurant But just sitting in the lobby huge to rest between attractions was luxurious Also when referring to the hotel for taxis etc don t say Hotel eighteen ninety eight Refer to it as Hotel one eight nine eight unless you know the spanish for 1898
