"Great location...takes a couple of nights to sleep !"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3The Suizo is in a fantastic location, the entrance to Jaume tube station is quite literally 15 feet outside the Hotel entrance, La Ramblas is a five minute walk up the street by the hotel (either side) the marina is a five minute walk out the entrance and turn right.
The hotel was clean and comfy, the only English channel on the TV was some BBC channel (can't recall which as it was a year ago since we went) which basically repeated the same programmes over and over (documentaries / news etc.) but...you don't go to Barcelona to watch TV. Our room was at the front of the hotel, more or less central, two floors up, great for people watching! The only downside was that due to the single glazing the noise outside was very noticeable and it took me a couple of nights before I got a full nights sleep, but you get what you pay for and we didn't pay a lot (don't take that the wrong way, the hotel is great!)
The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially taking into account our very poor Spanish, their English was much better! Next door to the hotel is a pastry shop selling all sorts of delicious pastries and other bits'n' bobs, just the place if you like a sweet breakfast!
All in all, if you are on a budget ( not sure what the prices are like in season) this is a great, well located, basic but comfy hotel and I'd recommend it. (I'm going to read everyone elses reviews now to see if they agree!!
