Staff was absolutely awesome, everyone we asked was very helpful.
The hotel itself is quite good, breakfast has quite a bot of variety and everything is tasty.
We did see the terrace and pool, but did not spend any time there, busy in the city.
the immediate area around the hotel is not the greatest, but we felt very safe walking and the doors at night are locked with security around.
I would recommend the hotel for price/value.
you are steps away from Las Ramblas and the Boqueria, very easy to get around and lots to do within walking distance
