Eat at the Tossa restaurant nearby for good Tapa.
Shop at Consum which is just around the corner.
La Sagrada familia metro station is very close. To get to the hotel from the airport, Take the renfe R2 nord to Sant Estacio and then the blue line to Sagrada familia.

Ideal for our family of two young teenagers. The lady on reception (I'm sorry i did not get your name) was very friendly and helpful, as were the other staff members we came across. Apartment was clean and well appointed - only negative point - ladies take your own hairdryer as the ones in the bathroom were not very powerful! We did not have a great view although that wasn't a problem as we were rarely in during daylight hours!
After reading another review we chose the half board option but would not do so again. Although good value for money, the menu was quite limited and would probably not appeal to younger children. My children (15 and 13) are both good eaters and will eat most things but struggled at times. One evening my daughter had a plate of stir fried vegetables as a main course as the choices were sword fish, mackerel, (she does not eat fish) and the 'meat' option was kidneys!. We stayed early in the week and the restaurant was very quiet (only us in one evening, only one other table another) so was lacking in atmosphere. The one time we ate at lunch it was much busier although appeared to be mainly business clientele. Aside from that the food we had was well prepared and very good. With hindsight it probably would have been more practical for us to have eaten out rather than have to return to the hotel for set times as there is so much to see and do.

Spent 3 nights here with my 3 teenage daughters and the location and facilities were ideal to see Barcelona in a short trip. It is just one block from Gaudi's unique La Sagrada Familia and could not be more convenient to transport links with the metro a few blocks away and key bus services and tour buses even closer. A wide variety of friendly restaurants are close by. The apartment was perfect with 2 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms and excellent kitchen facilities. The staff were very friendly and efficient day and night. WiFi is included.

Stayed here with wife and 2 friends in a 2 bedroom junior suite. The location is excellent, not too far off the beaten track with great transport links. Right next to the sagrada familia and the tour buses stop no more than 100 yards away.
The rooms themselves are functional with excellent showers and comfortable beds. And the balcony is essential for smokers or those wanting to watch the streets come alive or shut up for the night. Right round the corner is a cracking wee supermarket where you can purchase great local produce to prepare in the adequate kitchenette area.
We all enjoyed our stay and will be back.
