I used Priceline and selected West Barcelona and suburbs and I have to say initially I was a little disappointed that we got the suburbs. I read other feedback on this hotel and agree that it was tricky to find not least of all since our GPS had it in the wrong location as a POI. I finally keyed in the town of Sant Just then the street and we found it fine. We were happy the hotel had a garage and followed tripadvisor traveller's advice and took the tram into town every day. It was no big deal and a pleasant ride to Palau Royal to pick up the metro or tourist open deck bus or to the end of the line at Francesa Mascia where you can pick your choice of 2 open deck tour bus routes.
It was a really nice hotel and we were glad we didn't have to deal with driving down town. So, if you don't mind taking the tram, this is a great base for Barcelona.
