It's a basic very clean modern hotel in an extremely vibrant area. There is no bar so there's not much atmosphere, but plenty as soon as you get on the street. Loads of places to eat and bars, cinemas, theatres.
It's about 10 minute walk to the port if you're getting a ferry, and a 1 minute walk to the Paral.lel metro station including the Funicular to go up Mont Juic.
