It was difficult to assess this holiday as when we arrived we were told we had been transferred to another hotel because some guests were ill and were remaining there a further day. The revised hotel was very poor, awful, and it made considerable difficulties getting to the airport early the next day. We had to get a taxi. The staff at the Espana Hotel were very helpful and the hotel lobby and restaurant looked very nice. The location was excellent, shame we couldn't stay there.

bit put off by prostitutes on corner and noisy.

Only complaint was that hotel was full of students who were very noisey, late at night. However this problem was quickly & satisfactorily dealt with by hotel staff.

We arrived at the hotel to be greeted by an unfriendly man-not good enough in my book. Then in the morning there was "emergency" drilling works from very early which we were not warned about. I am sure they could have put us in a room where we didnt feel tremors aand hear loud noices for 3 hours-not the party lie-in I needed. The air-con had issues....However, the restaurant was lovely and very reasonable and the hotel is quaint and lovely. I would,recommend that you check out first if there are works on and if not, this hotel is ideally suited to a prefect holiday in Barcelona.

Gaudi's park is very unusual and good for a long walk in the sun. The cathedral of the sacred family is under construction and wont be finished till 2010.Its good to visit to suport the works but expect to see alot of construction works.The catholic cathedral is beautiful with regular masses if you are looking for this.

Apart from the renovations, the hotel was to a good standard of a 2 star. Rooms are spacious and very clean. About a minute walk from the La Ramblas there are many restaurants and bars.

Central hotel literally just off the Ramblas. Breakfast was ok, room wasn't so great very basic although nice and clean. Maybe some of other rooms have been renovated as this is a very old hotel, great old tiling in restaurants. Ask for a renovated room, balcony access rooms are at back and its quite scary to walk on the narrow balcony 4 floors up!!
