Barceló Raval
Loved the hotel, very quirky and different. The rooftop bar offered fantastic views across the city although drinks were on the pricey side. Don’t expect to swim in the pool though, it is tiny and cold! Overall we had a great stay and I would return.

The check-in was very easy, and the room was spotless. Even the water pressure in the bathroom was great. It’s not located downtown, but the bus stop is right in front of the hotel, so it’s very accessible.
