Room was very clean and well kept every day. The only negative comment about this hotel is the outdoor noise level during the night. Very loud partiers every night (right through to 6:00 am).

We spent 3 days in Barcelona the Hotel California. It was a little hard to locate at first but we found it was so convenient to the Ramblas, the Boqueria, even the metro. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Hotel staff were very helpful and personable. We are going back again this year and bringing friends and family.
