Onix Rambla - Barcelona, Spain 

I'd like to thank all of you who recommended this hotel. It was just perfect for us. The location was great - within an easy walk of the major tourist places: Las Ramblas, Barri Gotic, Gaudi's Casa Batllo. Good restaurants abound nearly next door: La Tramoia, Cuidad Condal. Hotel is just round the corner from a taxi stand and a metro station, on a street with outdoor cafes. We requested a quiet room, and got one. I loved the simple, stylish decor (especially the lights in the hall floor). We always breakfasted at the Cuidad Condal, which had exactly what we wanted: cafe con leche and pan tostada at a reasonable cost (less than 5 E for both of us). The hotel staff was quick to respond to a small complaint (minor plumbing issue), and made it clear it would be solved to our satisfaction or we could change rooms. I think it had it all: style, location, helpful staff, comfort and what I consider affordable.

The Onix Rambla is a new hotel, it's location is as good as it gets in the very center of Barcelona, in a quiet street. It's a walking distance from Las Ramblas, metro stations, airport bus, tourist bus starting point and many more attractions. The hotel is new, rooms are clean, big and offer a nice street view from a small balcony. The rooftop pool wasn't operating during our stay (End of December) but it offered a nice view of the city. Staff was great also. Didn't eat in the hotel so no opinion on the food.
