10/10
The location was perfect for public transport (Bogatell Metro is a 1 minute walk – only a 5 minute ride to the international conference centre and the same time away in the other direction from Le Barceloneta) and cool areas like the Port Olimpico marina, Parc de la Ciutadella, Arc de Triomf and Pobleneu are all a very manageable walk away. The Sagrada Familia Basilica was within 20 mins on foot and we walked all the way back from our visit to Parc Guell too. The latter was not a short walk but was really interesting, including the lovely Mercat de l’Abaceria indoor food market.
The area had lovely cafes and restaurants nearby and two convenience stores within a couple of minutes for water, fruit etc. I actually only used the in-house café on our last day and the coffee was the nicest I had all week. The outdoor courtyard was lovely for a latenight glass of wine to unwind.
There’s a rooftop pool, bar and sunbathing area which is small but perfectly functional and is a nice place to chill. We didn’t eat there but the breakfast looked lively and on our last night I saw a man eating what looked like a lovely steak.
There’s a taxi rank too, so longer trips or airport returns are super-easy.
Staff were polite and helpful. Our room was turned over daily and was clean with a lovely shower and more storage space than originally met the eye. The TV and WiFi both worked well, as did the room’s aircon.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this hotel again.
