2.4First time to BCN. the bad beds really spoiled our stay, more 1908 than 2008, esp the 3rd 'sofabed'! being winter we had the dbl glazed window closed so the air-con noise at rear did not trouble us much, try a front room. welcome 'buffet' tea undrinkable, but coffee & cakes ok, likewise get own teabags for room. 2 powercuts during stay, luckily not long ones, bring/buy torches. did not like strong disinfectant smell from lift area (drains?). bathroom locks itself apparently, use pen insert to open, don't shut door if inside on your own!. just across placa from airport bus which is why i chose it. supermarket around cnr to right. good value 'happy' restaurant, next block up to left.
