This hotel is in the Ramblas, near most of the "happenng" areas of Barcelona. A unique feature is the rooftop bar that has a 360 degree view of Barcelona. Taxi stand is conveniently right in front. Book your breakfast buffet at the check-in desk for $16 not online like Expedia for $18. If you're healthy, you can walk to the Maremagnum shopping center next to the scenic harbor, lots of tapas, fake namebrand bags, etc....
