Hotel Lloret, Barcelona

Rooms facing the Ramblas (I stayed in one of them) have balconies which you can sit out on, relax and watch people passing by on this one of the most busiest pedestrian streets in Europe. Note for those who like a bit peace: Since it seems like this part of town never sleeps, you may consider a room in the back due to noise from the street, I know some people may have a trouble sleeping when there is a lot going on outside. It did not bother me personally and I enjoyed the view onto the street. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, they make sure only guests enter the hotel at night since the hotel doors are looked downstairs after 11pm and you need to buzz in when you are coming late. Most of the staff speaks at least 3-4 languages fluently so if you are not speaking Spanish, you have options to communicate in English or French amongst many other languages. Each room has heating, air conditioner, TV set, phone, table with chair, beds and full bathroom with a shower. Common areas as well as the rooms are very clean and there is a room service on a daily basis to change your towels and do general clean up. The lobby / reception area is quite nice, it has very art deco feeling to it, there are always newspapers available to read, plus there is also a free WiFi available to guests. If you don't have your own laptop with you, no problem there is one computer set up in the lobby for use by quests as well - access to it is also at no charge. They have a dinning area which is open for breakfast in the mornings for €5.00 per person. I have not tried it myself, but I understand you get the basic continental treatment: fresh coffee, tea, croissants etc. Next to the reception area, there is small safe room, where you may consider lock up your valuables like money or passport free of charge. For a single room I paid only €50.00 a night with VAT included! It is a real bargain for what you get not to mention the location! Out of curiosity I checked a few hotels in the immediate area and the cheapest were around €150.00 a night. There is a bar next door, which is very convenient and a lot of places to eat all around, the location of the hotel was big a part of enjoyable visit in Barcelona. 

If you are planning on traveling to Barcelona, I would highly recommend Hotel Lloret as a perfect place to crush and spend money you saved on accommodation at good restaurants, bars or do some real shopping while in Spain instead. It was great experience for me to stay there and I would return to it at anytime. In the busy summer season, I heard that they are often booked well in advance so make sure you visit their web site or call them directly to book your stay a few weeks / months in advance. They accept all major credit cards for reservations.
