We had a great stay at Ibis - the area is perfect - just situated near a Metro. The room is OK, but the interior wasn't working - too small wardrobe - unusable furniture - a bit dark, and the AC wasn't working properly, and we really missed a fridge. The service at the hotel was very good, the breakfast was OK - unfortunately we could'nt buy eggs or anything hot - the same breakfast for 7 days - very dreary. We enoyed the svimmingpool a lot, but a bit crowdy - all in all a good stay, but our next stay in Barcelona will include a balcony.
