We would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat!! |You can get cheaper accommodation but this hotel is well worth the extra cash!!||We used the local airport bus to travel into Barcelona from the airport. |So easy to pick up right outside the terminal and only 7:45 euro each.|The terminus was Playa de Catalunya, the main square in Barcelona. |The hotel is a relatively short walk (10 minutes at most) down Passeig de Garcia, which is directly on your left as you dismount from the bus.|The hotel is on the right hand side of Passeig de Gracia, only a little further on from Casa Batlló (which is on the left hand side - see photos).||We stayed in a Junior Suite with Terrace for 3 nights.|The terrace was huge!! It had table and chairs with an umbrella, and two sun-loungers on a raised platform. The view wasn’t great but to have a terrace in the city centre was a big plus after a long day sight seeing.|The decor of the room was contemporary, the bed was so comfortable, everything was spotless.|There was a fridge in the room that contained two cans of beer, two cans of Coca Cola, a glass bottle of water and two chocolate bars 👍|We had bathrobes and good quality slippers.|There is a kettle, coffee maker, glass mugs and espresso cups. The good quality tea bags, coffee pods and biscuits were replenished daily.|We were also left a gift of a bottle of white wine and some shortbread type biscuits.|The toiletries are all Penhaligan - quality!!||All of the staff we encountered at reception and in the breakfast room were lovely - really friendly and helpful 🥰 ||The breakfast room also acts as a ‘free’ lounge for the rest of the day!! |It is contemporary in design and beautifully laid out. |The breakfast offerings were fantastic!! |Hot and cold drinks, freshly squeezed orange juice presented in small individual carafes, an assortment of delicious bread and pastries, cold meats and cheeses, a brilliant variety of small sandwiches, fresh fruits and yogurts, breakfast style sponge cake, waffles and pancakes. |You could also request items from a hot dish menu: eggs of every variety, omelettes, eggs with sausage and bacon etc |All prepared on request, beautifully presented and hot!! |We also saw quite a few people asking for take away boxes which they were given without a fuss.||We went into the lounge after a day of sight seeing, there was coffee, tea, wine, cava, cold drinks, pastries and snacks available free of charge. We spoke to two American ladies that advised us they had been given a bottle of cava and some popcorn free of charge, we were also offered a bottle of cava and advised we could take it in the lounge or they would deliver it to our room if required!! 🍾🥂😍||In the small reception area there is a fridge full of ice lollies and ice cream lollies that are also free of charge!! And not forgetting the small tray of Chupa Chupa lollipops 🍭 also available for free!! (So many free things - it is unbelievable!!)||As you can tell we absolutely loved this hotel and all it had to offer!! We can’t recommend it enough and will definitely return for a hopefully longer stay on our next visit to Barcelona!!||Very well done to all the Management and your excellent Staff that make this such an exceptional hotel!! 🥰
