Balmes Hotel is a very clean, modern and ideally located to everything Barcelona has to offer. Very nice breakfast buffet and the staff will prepare boiled/fried eggs if desired(as well as espresso or cappucino).Underground parking is somewhat tight, but staff will park car if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

Hotel is ideal for the price and location. Rooms are not massive but adequate for 2 people and the shower is fantastic. Rooms are def not soundproofed... you can hear next door open the shower curtain :-) but it won't put me off staying there again. It's no more than a 10 min walk to the Rambla's and the Plaza de Catalunya. There are so many lovely cafe's on the way though, it always took us longer!!! :-) Less than a 5 min walk to the nearest underground, which is clean and safe. For an authentic restaurant, go to Caracoles restaurant just off the ramblas at the opposite end to the Plaza de Catalunya.

Excellent choice, quiet yet central hotel, perfect for business travellers. May be a bit impersonal for a holiday trip.
