 No real negatives It is about 15 20 min walk to El Born one of my favorite neighborhoods The neighborhood immediately surrounding the hotel has a lot of great outlet shopping clothing shoes accessories The neighborhood is quiet at night if you want to be right in the thick of it you might want to stay somewhere else I really liked the fact that the room was quiet and it s a only a 15 min walk to a lot of nightlife 
 I absolutely loved my room It felt like a private retreat I had one of the rooms with a private terrace looking into the courtyards of the surrounding buildings I felt immersed in a Barcelona neighborhood The terrace and sitting room were a perfect place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing and re energize for a night of tapas tasting a bar hopping Loved everything about my room including the yoga kit I felt completely comfortable staying there alone The hotel staff are really nice Also they have live music and DJs in the bar at night so be sure to plan to spend one night at the hotel
