Traveller from York stayed in October,2009

Guest Comment:
Really good hotel, looks great (lots of original features), very nice and clean room (ours had a balcony), helpful staff, really excellent location. Breakfast is ok, although not great value - especially considering there are three excellent cafes all within 20 metres of the front door (so go to them for breakfast).

Top Tip:
Beware of pickpockets, and don't carry your bag on your back. We were victims at the airport when we arrived - distracted while boarding the bus into town. But in spite of that, Barcelona is such a wonderful city, we still think it's one of the best city breaks we've ever had. One piece of advice - the old cathedral is free and well worth a visit, but Gaudi's Sagrada Familia is not really worth paying 11 euros to see inside! Also, the Barcelona City Tour buses are cheaper, less tedious, and ALOT less busy than the official Bus Turistic buses.
