Medinaceli - Barcelona, Spain     

We stayed here for 3 nights as a city break. Although the room was on the ground floor, the outside noise didn't really bother us at all. The room was clean and bed was nice and firm but the pillows were a bit rubbish really, the shower lacked much power, and the lighting was a bit dim. The hotel is very close to the sea front and there is an excellent bar serving very, very good food just round the corner. Very close to Las Ramblas and within walking distance (30mins) of Sagrada Familia etc. Although the hotel was okay, we didn't feel it was up to its 4 star status and we felt it was overpriced, so we may try an alternative hotel next time. We're definately going to return to Barcelona and allow alot more time to see some amazing sights!

The hotel has an excellent location - a corner away from the action at Ramblas and just across the road from the Acquarium and the shopping/restaurant complex Maremagnum. The staff were extremely helpful and polite - nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and good with a good variety of stuff on offer, from chorizo sausages to salmon to churros and hot chocolate. I would recommend this hotel and would return
