Ayre Hotel Caspe Barcelona

i stayed 4 nights in this splendid hotel.
it was my first trip to barcelona, so i didn't really know what it would be like over there.

compared to most parts of the city, the hotel was super CLEAN.
the lobby looks pretty arty, with a wire-like neon light that cover the whole ceiling.
the guys at the desk were pretty friendly, but they weren't the best english speaker...
like most of the spanish people i've talked to in barcelona, they hardly knew a few english words...
but of course it wasn't a problem at all, to let him know that you're checking in or out:)

the bed room (1 double bed) was rather big. very nice & arty rooms! modern indoor design..
1 shower & a bath in the bathroom. also pretty modern. the room had a tv, phone, air conditioning, safe,
1 big shelf... lots of lights...

the breakfast was the best one i've had so far in a hotel...
they had a buffet with lots of spanish food : salami, different cheeses, hams, chorizo, several breads, toasts, 3-4 sorts of fruits, cakes, pies, coffee, warm milk, oj, juices, cornflakes, eggs, bacon, sausages...
and of course it was "all you can eat"... the dining room was clean, and the staff was friendly (only spanish speakers)...

the only "not so good" thing about the hotel, was the location...
actually it was located in a very friendly block...
- 3 minute walk to the next metro station ("arce the triomphe" subway station)
- 10 minute walk to the placa catalunia
- 10 minute walk to the sagrada familia church

actually we always took the subway, even for going to the catalunia place...
a 4 day ticket, was like 15-18 euros... which was pretty cheap. it's as easy to use as the
london subway... the rides are always crowded, so it's also safe at night.

i would always again book a room at the hotel ayre caspe...
if you wanna meet young people, and wanna party at the hotel...you should try another one...
this one's got a more quiet athmosphere... young and mid-aged people... but the blocks around the hotel aren't the best party spots...but as i said... use the subway and it will bring you to all the different spots

BIG + for the cleanliness, modern design, and price of this hotel!
highly recommended!
