You might imagine this was rather a grand hotel in the 1950s, with the double staircases and gathering rooms.
The room was comfortable and the bathroom nice and new.
All of the staff were very, very nice and helpful.
Every drunken British tourist in town (and there are a LOT of them) will walk La Rambla at 3:00AM yelling and cheering (and, probably, peeing), so despite the good, insulated windows, expect noise if your room faces the street.
