Hotel Husa Internacional Barcelona Ramblas, 78-80 Online Booking

With the Liceo Theatre opposite and the intriguing Boqeria Market close by we make a rather interesting place to stay. Las Ramblas is the central point in Barcelona for meeting, socialising and generally enjoying many of the city's attractions. The Gothic Quarter home of the Cathedral with its lush gardens, Kings Plaza and the Bishops Palace amongst some of the historical buildings you can admire.

Walk along Las Ramblas a little further and there is a large and helpful Tourist Information Centre, the Opera House and at the end the statue of Christopher Columbus looking out over the Port area. Exhibition Centres, shops, cafe bars and beaches can be found, as well as the Olympic Village. Enjoy a leisurely lunch whilst watching the world go by.

A fabulous metro system will take you all over the city to sights such as Sagrada Familia, the Football Stadium, Montjuic, the Spanish Village and Olympic Stadium.

Return to your ensuite rooms, equipped with TV, phone and air conditioning where you can relax after a busy day.

Overall: i had a brilliant stay and no problems and the staff were very nice and helpful

Good stuff: easy to find, central location.

Overall: A clean tidy hotel with friendly staff. Barcelona is a lovely city, with friendly helpful people. However a word of warning, watch out for pickpockets on the underground system, I found out only too late and at my cost.

Good stuff: Everything was perfect!

Bad stuff: The one thing I would say is that we had twin beds, instead of a double.. But really not a problem.

Overall: The room was on the second floor (no. 553) overlooking Las Ramblas. Was lovely to stand on the balcony and watch the world go by, perfect for people watching and all the attractions. This is the heart of Barcelona, definitely. Continental breakfast was included and very nice buffet of rolls, croissants, pastries,cheese and the like. I would heartily recommend this hotel, it is the best value for money. The one thing I will say is that Las Ramblas is pretty busy 24 hours a day, so if you're a light sleeper, the noise from revellers below might be a problem. It wasnt for us, and was great to watch the goings on.

Good stuff: it's convenient location

Bad stuff: rooms were a bit small, and noisy at night from the street

Overall: overall a pleasant experience
