4.6Barcelona's Avenida Palace is the perfect location to stay in Barcelona. Beautiful appointments and small but attentive staff. Near La Rambla and all transportations. A few small drawbacks are: no coffee machine, no fitness center (a plus to me, but missed by my wife), no ice service that we could find, the room safes didn't work (two rooms, safes were found locked and staff didn't open them). Also, Internet access is clumsy. You can get a thirty minute block free in the lobby (use the "lobby" network), but costs extra from the room. Also, what truly shocked us was that to print out our airline boarding passes, we had to purchase time on a different internet service provider to use the business center and printer. We feel that one provider should be enough for the room and business center printer.
