At time of check-out, I was kindly proposed without asking to renew my key card to make sure I could have a last drink in the afternoon before heading at the airport. ^
What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- Very central and convenient location (Aerobus stop at Plaça Espanya is just 10 minutes walk to hotel; do not expect seats when back to the airport still). Bikes can be rented near Plaça Espanya. Metro and bus stop around the Plaça.
- Great Tickets tapas bar by Ferran Adria is just 10 minutes walk from the hotel
