 Our first room an upgrade leaked from the bathroom above Obviously not a new problem from the staining we could see but the hotel was still using the room We were moved It seems the upgrade consisted of a kettle as the next room didn t have one cups teas coffee but no kettle The unhelpful man on reception said not all rooms had a kettle Over 200 a night and no kettle A kettle duly arrived Poor No sound insulation between rooms we could hear normal conversation from the room next door The disco A room on the ground floor was hired for a party We were on the third floor and it was as if we were in the disco No sleep before 1 a m Attempts to contact reception went unanswered perhaps they couldn t hear the phone above the music One member of reception acted as if he was always doing us a favour Too many poor points be considered a good stay Other guests paying just over 100 a night what happened to Booking com s guarantee 
 Great front door I m not joking the carving on the door is wonderful Perfect location ideal for the metro straight onto La Rambla but just off the main square and so little street noise Huge bathroom although the decor would not be our choice and a good range of complementary items Useful when flying with only hand luggage Comfy huge bed No noise from outside see what we didn t like Excellent range at breakfast but like nearly all hotels it is buffet style The hotel restaurant was great Innovative menu well prepared and excellent value We never eat in hotel restaurants we ate in this one twice When the hotel got it wrong which they did we were offered complementary cava and chocolates Most of the staff were friendly and helpful
