We have been in Laietana palace ( Via Laietana 20) because we found a good price with flight by Alitalia from Milano Malpensa. The location is preety good, near to the historical centre (Barri Gotic), a few steps from Las Ramblas, having a Metro stop just 30 mt away ( jaume I) and not far from the Picasso Museum and the wonderful neighbour of La Ribera (maybe the best spot of barca in my opinion). Service is good, the breakfast is normal, the room is little but with jacuzzi in bathroom. The real problem is that the metro is passing just UNDER THE HOTEL. We were at fourth and we heard clearly the vibrations altough we could sleep well. But sleeping in floors under i think can be a REAL PROBLEM. It is the reason that often they do special prices. you can tink it's like a good 3 star hotel but not a 4 like they are Theme: HotelComparison: about averageDirections: barri gotic - la ribera
