A modern, beautifully decorated 4-star hotel, with friendly, helpful, courteous staff, great amenities. Breakfast with a wide choice of quality items is highly recommended. Perfectly located in an upscale neighborhood, walking distance to many main attractions (Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, etc.) A major bonus is the small restaurant across the street, la Papita. Do not miss it! Micheline-star dishes at bar-food prices. We ended up going there every night, trying 90% of their diverse menu. No disappointments. Budget in 1-1.5 tapas per person. Make reservations.
