Now that I've been at the hotel I can?t believe how misleading some reviews can be. There is no way to call this hotel's location even good. Basically you have to take the metro anywhere you want to go, maybe except La Sagrada Familia. This is not as bad as could be because Barcelona has a great (an affordable) transport systems. Also the area, although being very safe and quiet, has another problem, which is that there is not one decent place around to dine or even have breakfast.
On the good side: The room and bathroom were spacious for European standards and everything was really clean. We had free wireless access in the room, which was a plus until it broke and wasn't fixed for two days.
As mentioned in other reviews the staff is really unattentive (won't even nod at you when you come in) giving the hotel a really cold atmosphere. Their efficiency is doubtful too since: - They placed us in a smoking floor without asking first - When we were leaving they tried to charge us unduly minibar expenses - They wouldn't even apologize for not fixing the wireless access for two days.
The only reason to stay here is that the price you pay (al least through the Internet website) is pretty reasonable for a 3 star in Barcelona.

This was really the best hotel we've stayed at. We were extremely impressed with the service, the staff and the LOCATION! It was just a few minutes walking distance from all the major sites. I would stay at this hotel EVERY SINGLE TIME I visit Barcelona. Why mess with perfection?
PS: I don't think I've ever written such a raving review about a hotel before.
