Hotel Around Las Ramblas, Barcelona
One of the best locations in Barcelona! This hotel stays right on Ramblas and is steps from the airport shuttle bus. It is such a convenience! And the price is just right, midrange budget depending on season and availability. The location alone is a plus! It's a walking distance from the Ramblas, lots of restaurants and shops. If you happen to accommodate a room with a balcony, you might end up sitting in your room and watch the overlooking Ramblas strip to enjoy.
It is also the first stop for all HOHO bus routes which make it all the more convenient. Close to airport shuttle bus and to bus routes for a quick ride to the cruise port if you are in Barcelona to catch that cruise you have planned for months. Airport shuttle bus may cost around 6 Euro per person and cab ride cost 5-6 Euro to the cruise port.
Room Price includes a 24-hour buffet, not gourmet but it's good for a quick snack, or even a meal if you so choose. Buffet Breakfast is from 6AM – 12AM. Also included 24/7 are fountain sodas, beer, wine, coffee (including cappuccino, espresso, etc.), and soft serve ice cream.
The hotel has a boutique feel to it.
Like most European hotels, it is poorly soundproofed and the rooms are small.
The bathroom is very nice.
Most rooms have an outdoor veranda overlooking either Las Ramblas or the hotel's small courtyard.
