El Torn-stranden

This is definitely one of the nicest, most luxurious and best located hotels in Barcelona. We stayed 6 nights there and really loved it. We had an executive room which provided plenty of space for us and our 15 year old daughter, with both functionally and classic furniture. Though the room is not overloaded with useless clutter and decoration, it feels home. The hotel is decently calm as the hallways are furnished with carpets. Although, being located right in between where things happen, some noise from the streets and surroundings must be accepted. The personell, especially the guys at the entrance in the lobby, are exceptional with a warmth and a serving attitude you barely find in Europe anymore. Thank you! If I want to also name things that we considered negative, I must mention the stunning roof terrace which is "sold" online as being a treat for its guests... it is not: it is a very nice bar/restaurant serving pricy drinks. As a hotel guest, you cannot just sit there and enjoy the sun. You compete with external guests (mostly influencer) that make their photos in front of the cathedral. We were also not exceptionally impressed by the breakfast restaurant which is too expensive given the service there. Especially for a family that is not used to drink champagne for breakfast. But overall, a wonderful stay, and we will definitely come back. The combination of the Lamaro hotel and the city of Barcelona is really worth it!
