Great and modern hotel, rooms and facilities. They offer a variety of activities to do for free across the week. Staff were helpful and friendly. Greay variety of hot food, fruits and pastries alongside juices and coffee for breakfast. Breakfast and the bar are also on the rooftop whoch overlooks the city. Great location within walking distance of most things and a subway if you're exploring further out. Definitely recommend!

Hotel REC is the perfect base for exploring Barcelona. There's loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance with bus stops and metro station within a few minutes' walk. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful. I'm sorry I didn't get her name but the receptionist who checked us in was lovely and helped us get our safe working. The room was spotless, huge bed, the shower, toilet and sink were all separate, so really practical and there were loads of sockets for electrical items. The safe in the room was free. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice of meat, scrambled eggs, 3 different cereals, toast and baked goods, yogurts and was slightly different each day. The pool and bar were fun. On Saturday 20th there was a fantastic singer/keyboard player in the bar. She played and sang beautifully with a mix of English and Spanish songs. The hotel were happy to store luggage for us on the last day. They have a room with different size lockers (big enough for suitcases) and we got a card that unlocked it. I'd highly recommend staying here to explore Barcelona.
