Well located hotel

Rooms are nice but to small as a family room. Perfect for 2 people. Very friendly staff. Small but nice pool at the roof top. Perfect place to reach everything you want in BCN. There is no breakfastroom...so you need to go out to get brakfast. But there are a lot of wonderfull little " cafes"around.
