Ibis Barcelona Meridiana

Very easy to find: a separate tall building with a bright "Ibis" sign on the top. Two malls nearby with cafes and shops. The south one has a small live concert every Saturday morning for an hour or two. As the room is high up, it's quite quiet even with an open window. Very nice reception, they helped us with printing and some tea. Big is a good size, more than 140cm for sure. Desk easily fits a 13 inch laptop. The temperature in the room was good even with +12 C outside, so I think insulation is good.

The initial manager on the day of arrival was great very knowledgeable. Checked us in early, which was very good. Was able to give us information and advice on the metro and how to make our trips cheaper. The location of the hotel was good for metro and local supermarkets. Good views from rooms.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the café was conveniently located right at the entry and the lobby had nice seating. The room was basic but nicely decorated and with a cute, efficient bathroom that did not suffer from a post-shower flood on the floor (like so many other hotels and apartments do!) The breakfast, served in the same café at the entry, had good variety and fresh, hot food along with cold options, and was well maintained during service.

Nice stay overall. The room was confortable and very clean. Good view into the city skyline (glories and sometimes the sea). Although not very close to the city center it was less than 10min walk from 2 different metro stations (Fabra i Puig and Llucmajor) and it was easy to move around, it's also a safe area to do so at night. Good restaurants and other facilities nearby were very useful.

Room was absolutely normal, like any other. Comfy bed, table, clean bathroom. Everything you need for couple of days. Rich continental breakfast - flakes, pastry, ham, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, smashing eggs etc... It's out of the city center, the area is not crowded, but with everything you need - parks, restaurants and nearest metro station is 6 minutes walk. View from 10th floor was stunning.
