Rivoli Ramblas - Barcelona, Spain     

This hotel would have the best location - on the Ramblas - centre of all restaurants and bars - short walk to the harbour - fab vibe all day and night - that's the only problem all night!!! No double glazed windows here - and the Barcelona vibe goes all night - and you do want to get some sleep - even in Barcelona. Strange thing - the hotel has a bar - but I didn't see it open once during my six night stay. Would recommend as long as you take ear plugs.

we requested interconnecting rooms, but when we arrived, they just gave us 2 adjacent rooms, service is very bad and poor. i requested for some extra hangers on 13:00 and hangers arrived 17:30, that is with me following up every hour, and they will just say "ora mismo senor". room cleaners are very slow and sloppy, we leave room at aroind 10 am, and sometimes go back late in the afternoon and the rooms hasn't been cleaned yet. when it was cleaned, all the new supply of toiletries are just dumped in a small basket near the sink. they will not even get the empty containers and the empty cardboard roll of toilet paper!! they are not even changing the beddings unless you tell them! the rooms are very hot too, because there is no airconditioning during an april month, so staying in your room for a siesta is impossible! and staying in a room facing the ramblas is very noisy. but you cannot close the windows because it will automatically turn on heater!! the electric window shades sometimes work, sometimes they dont. WiFi is free, but signal is very weak. so sometimes you cannot make a connection. most of the staff cannot even answer the most simplest of question or request. breakfast is ok but nothing great. even their scrambled eggs taste bad.all i can say is that they serve good coffee for breakfast.
