Hotel Rekord - worth checking into
Posted: Sun, Jun 29 2008
Smal boutique/vest pocket hotel in the Sant Gervasi neighborhood in Barelona. We like that it was small and out of the way; i.e. - off the tourist-beaten track. You'll be in a neighborhood with the locals, local restaurants, etc. Half a block from the Linea 7 metro stop, an easy 4 stop ride to Plaza Catalunya. Minimalist decor, which we appreciated, and very helpful staff. They have an evening coffee service (6 to 9 PM), just the thing to charge your batteries before going out. Rates when we there were about 200 euros a night, and we felt this was a fair rate. We would definitely recommend this place, and would return again.

Not only is Barcelona a wonderful city, the staff at Hotel Rekord made my 3 days there perfect. From the very beginning, the staff was helpful. I arrived alone and inexperienced with the city. Within minutes, the manager had given me a map, a recommended walking route, and even found a salsa club for me to go to! The room was EXACTLY how the website showed it, if not better! And the bed was exactly how I like it. The breakfast was fantastic! There was always someone at the front desk eager to answer all of my many questions. I even purchased the tourist bus tickets at the desk and they made reservations for me at a great restaurant around the corner (La Bodega), where the owner made paella especially for me. And get the Autobus Touristico 2-day pass. Worth every penny! As far as shopping, I found everything I was looking for within 8 blocks of the hotel. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Absolutely the best!
