The hotel is clean and staff very service minded. Nice room, but lack of for example things such as possibility to heat water for tea, coffee etc. The big minus is the area outside the hotel... Lots of homeless people lying outside of the hotel and for us it seem like an area with much drug dealing and criminality. We did not feel that the area was "safe" during the evening/nights, so we used taxi to the door every night. In other words, the area surrounding the hotel was not as expected, despite being very close to La Rambla.
