Nice hotel. Pretty good location near the upper end of La Rambla. Very helpful staff. Free internet access. Password changes daily but the desk is very accomodating. Good breakfast. Many non-Spanish guests. Nice rooms.

disliked:
very noisy room, could not sleep due to elevator noise
very thin walls, could hear the neighbors in their bath as if they were in my room
couldn't open the window because every passer by could see the room from the corridor

We stayed here 2 years ago had a great time so decided to return . Great little hotel , staff very nice and friendly . Rooms nice a bit small but very clean nice bathroom . We loved the roof top terrace amazing views too . Weather was superb making our stay even better . This time we walked everywhere didn't bother with metro , it's around 20 minutes down to La Rambla. Tended to eat local in the evening some nice places around if you look . Small bar next door to hotel ( to the left ) is nice Semi and his wife are very welcoming. We will return had a better time this time round did all the sights last time so just chilled and shopped and enjoyed the fantastic weather .Thank you Hotel America..

The plus points:

Nice, if small, roof terrace pool and jacuzzi
Clean room, perfectly adequately sized (why do you need a huge room if you're going to be out and about on a city break?)

The downside:

Cheekily billed me in pounds not euros when I asked specifically for pounds. You get a much worse exchange rate when they do this and it's a cheeky way of them charging you more. Was late for airport when the cab they booked for me didn't show in time so didn't argue.

Lots of UK stag groups when I stayed. The hotel has predominantly marble floors so sound canons around. I've been on stag groups and we try to stay away from hotels in quieter places where we can't effect others, or if there are others staying they're stag groups too. Not much the hotel can do about this but the groups weren't very pleasant.

Room had no external window, only faced internally on to atrium inside. I like my daylight and this compounded the stag group problem.


Overall, I'd go again but only on three conditions, (i) I would check what room I'm getting, (ii) that no stag groups are in town and (iii) that I'm billed for the rate I'm quoted.
