We booked 2 rooms for our long weekend. 1 double and a single for my son - birthday trip for him. As my partner is disabled I asked in advance if we could keep one of the rooms on till later in the day to allow him to have a snooze before departing. Alberto on the front desk was very supportive of our request and we were allowed to have a later check out of 3pm. The hotel is extremely clean and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were smiley and polite and nothing too much trouble. On check in a map is provided with location of metros and various tourist 'must sees' are pointed out. Our room looked into the back of the building so not much a view but the bed was big and super comfortable. The bathroom was very big, modern with loads of toiletries and a good hairdryer. My son had a small balcony with a view up the street which he loved. Breakfast is excellent - by far one of the best selections we have seen. Fresh juices, milks, yogurt, cereal, pastries, fruit, meats, cheeses, Spanish omelette, little hot pots of scrambled egg, sausage and sauted vegetables, breads, jams, smoothies, 2 coffee machines and plenty of choice for teas. Hot freshly made choices are also available. Spoiled for choice! Location of the hotel was ideal, with La Rambla, Raval, harbour and Barri Gothic areas all within an easy walk. Metro just along the end of the Ample. Fantastic bar called Penny Banger a couple of doors along and lots of little mercats nearby. We had no issue at all with safety and felt very relaxed the whole time we were there. We had a wonderful time in Barcelona and loved the NH Barri Gotic!!
