Catalunya

Location, clean and friendly staff

Spotlessly clean. Excellent location, in Bari Gotic, but only 4 min from Plaza Catalunya, so easily assessable to rest of the city, & all forms of transit. In a busy area, but on a quieter side street, minimal noise issues, even though it's city center. Grocery stores, Mercat Boqueria, pharmacies, gadget stores, department stores, La Catedral, within 5 min walk. Cafes outside the front door. Has the rare mini-fridge in-room, they usually have a spare kettle on hand, & a shared, clean, microwave.

This hotel is very well located. 2 minutes walk to Piazza Catalunya, public transport (buses, trains, etc). There are several restaurants, cafes and stores on the same street. A very quiet street at night yet close to everything. The hotel is kept clean with daily cleanings. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The room and bathroom was small, but clean and comfortable. I travelled alone.. The location is awesome, but be very aware, especially at night. Staff are friendly and helpful.

More than anything else, I found the hotel staff exceptional. My wallet was stolen in Barcelona while in the plaza in front of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Both women (Mel and one other) at the reception were very, very helpful in talking to the Barcelona and Tarragona police, and helping file reports to them. They also gave me tel. nos. for reporting my stolen credit cards. They were also helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions. The location of the hotel was also the best.
