We stayed at Hotel Condes de Barcelona after an 11-day cruise and had a great time exploring Barcelona for 2 days. It is located in a busy part of town, lots of shopping and dining options, and just down the street from Casa Mila la Pedrera and Casa Batllo (which we toured and enjoyed). We are walkers and enjoyed the ~25min walk to Sagrada Familia the next morning for early entry (get your tickets a month in advance on the official website! Do the tour and tower climb!) and the walk to to La Rambla is about 20 mins. The roof-top restaurant & bar has great views of the city, Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila up the way. The rooms were comfortable and modern. Any travel items you may need are there ready for you in the room, even a comb, razor, toothbrush/paste. Breakfast wasn't included but considering many restaurants don't even open for breakfast until 9 or later, we are early risers and needed to get on the way to Sagrada Familia by 8am. Good food choices and good coffee. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
