Nouvel

Pros: Excellent location.

Cons: A bit dated in decor and facilities. Some rooms have nicely updated bathrooms but a few of the rooms at back of hotel have not been renovated.

Pros: A really central place: easy to walk lots of the main shopping areas, and a nice stroll to the beach too - simple and effective as well as clean, purposeful accommodation.

Pros: Room was okay

Cons: Could have done with a fridge and very noisy if your room is on side ally next to restaurant. Worst eggs ever at breakfast!

Cons: The view from the room in the back was not good, some construction going on. There was also a noisy party in one of the apartments with music at 6 am.

Quirky in its Own Charming Way-- I Would Stay Here

Pros: * Great Location--local to everything, including Aerobus, Las Ramblas, Metro, Gothic Quarter, etc... * Beautiful 1917 Art Nouveau Interior / Exterior * Terrific, Super-Accommodating Staff that worked hard to make us comfortable * Quiet Rooms

Cons: * Lacking Certain Basic Amenities, such as washcloths, hand lotion, hair conditioner (but piles of shampoo!) * Tiled Floor in Room (probably great in summer, not great in December) * Lackluster breakfast (better off going to a local cafe) * Slow Internet Connection * Strange quirks: unusual floor plans; multi-visit housekeeping (first towels disappear, then sheets, then your room is finally cleaned); things not working (heaters and hairdryer)--but fixed quickly.
